Description:
Mackenzie Carter has had some very bad dates lately--in fact, she hasn't had a successful date in months. She's only a year out of residency, and her grandmother's obsession with her finding the perfect mate to settle down with threatens to drive her barking mad. Out of options, she feels like it's a small thing to tell her grandmother that she's met someone. That is, until she blurts out the name of the last man she would ever date: Noah Taylor, the Big Bad Wolf of Denver General.
Noah Taylor, interventional cardiologist and all-around grump, has spent his entire life hiding what he is. With outdated stigmas still surrounding unmated alphas, Noah has been careful to keep his designation under wraps. It worked for years--until an anonymous tip brings everything to light. Noah is left with two choices: come clean to the board and risk his career--or find himself a mate. The chatty, overly friendly ER doctor asking him to be her fake boyfriend on the same day he's called to meet the board has to be kismet, right?
Mckenzie will keep her grandmother off her back, and Noah will get a chance to prove he can continue to work without a real mate--a mutually beneficial business transaction, they both rationalize. But when the fake-mate act turns into a very real friends-with-benefits arrangement, lines start to blur, and they quickly realize love is a whole different kind of animal.
My Take:
I picked up this book while at Target waiting for my medicine one day. I wanted to read it after reading The Nanny from the same author. I enjoy the feel good with a dash of sensual scenes this author throws in. The Nanny was a good book so why not try this one?
They throw themselves into this arrangement headfirst thinking it will be beneficial and without complications. This starts a whole story of two people falling in love without looking and having funny moments in between. Mckenzie is outgoing and loves to joke around while Noah is more serious and introverted in life. The typical opposites attract trope.
The wrench in the plans? The very nosey coworkers that work at Denver General. They are very invested in this relationship and are interested in every drop of drama they can get. Throw a good heat in the mix and it gets these two circling emotions they don't know how to handle. I throughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what other books this author publishes.
