Publisher's Summary

One of Oprah Magazine's 21 Romance Novels That Are Set to Be the Best of 2020

USA Today best-selling author Talia Hibbert returns with another charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend after a video of him "rescuing" her from their office building goes viral....

Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits - someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom.

When big, brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it's an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and former rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact to him, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Suddenly, half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae - and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse? Dani's plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf is secretly a hopeless romantic - and he's determined to corrupt Dani's stone-cold realism. Before long, he's tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his...um, thighs.

The easy lay Dani dreamed of is now more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?

"Talia Hibbert is a rockstar! Her writing is smart, funny, and sexy...." (Meg Cabot, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Little Bridge Island and Princess Diaries series)

Great!

Fist I live the Brown sister, They each have their own individual quirks and characteristics that keep you reading. What I loved about The characters in this book, was the raw honesty. I will say that I miss the previous vocalist, she really captured the voices. But once you get into it the new vocalist works well too. Definitely an excellent read. On to book 3!

A solid book

I was a little let down by the change in narrator from the last book. Ione Butler was decent, but didn't capture the essences of the side characters the way Adjoa Andoh did.

This book began by laying down a vibe that felt distinctly aromantic. It was framed as the heroine's wound, but it felt differently to me... at least up until she and the hero first slept together. It wasn't jarring to realize that romantic feelings were definitely going to come into play and I liked how Zaf never tried or wanted to change her, but as someone on the ace/aro spectrum, the unfulfilment of that initial promise is a bit of a disappointment.

Other than that, this book is exactly what you can expect from a Talia Hibbert book — lots of laughs, so sweet it hurts your teeth, and chemistry that sets the page on fire.

I do recommend this book, just go in knowing that it has two alloromantic leads.

Very entertaining and sexy.

I love the Brown Sisters and Danica didn't disappoint. Nothing like an intelligent, driven woman winning in life and getting the love she deserves.

Elevated contemporary romance

This writer creates awesome characters with depth and nuance. Funny, compelling, heartbreaking…the full range of human emotion. Lots of representation of typically underrepresented minds and bodies, and handled deftly, with accuracy and finesse.

And very, deliciously spicy.

A wonderful read, amazing author!
