Team Romance Counselor Report III
A review of Her Pretend Billionaire Boyfriend by Bree Livingston
The book was an interesting premise- a poor girl accidentally calls a complete stranger her boyfriend to save face with an ex while on a cruise, and the stranger goes along with it. And it was very interesting reading everyone's dynamics- but the characters were all psychos. Of course the villainous ex-fiance and ex-best friend were sociopaths, but the heroine was slightly bonkers too. I shouldn't blame her, since for so long the only peeps in her life were the aforementioned people and her sick mother (who also has moments of psycho), but I just felt so bad for the hero as she went between moods so fast. You can't flirt, then say you're great friends, then say no when he wants to make the pretend relationship real, and then kiss him a moment later! And not even kissing because evil 1 and evil 2 were around, but just because you wanted to. Poor, poor hero, but he was a patient bloke.
Because of the craziness, the story was a bit more stressful than I was expecting with a cruise romance, but you just have to keep reading to find out whether craziness or sanity wins out. A great way to get your mind of things for a little while, though.
