One Week Wingman by Lila Monroe

 





Synopsis:


Sebastian Wainwright is handsome, British, and charming… and the last man you can rely on. Bartending at Mavericks, I’ve seen his love-em-and-leave-em routine up close, and I know better than to become another notch on his king-sized bedpost. But when a little white lie catches up with me, it turns out that Seb is exactly the man I need for the job…

Posing my fake boyfriend for the week.

See, I invented The Perfect Man (TM) to keep my interfering family off my case, but now I’m back home for my high-school reunion, my sister is (surprise!) engaged to my ex, and I’m first in line to win Biggest Disappointment. I need Mr. Perfect to roll up and save me from humiliation, and since he doesn’t exist, I’ll just have to settle for New York’s biggest playboy instead.

A cocktail of disaster? That’s what I figure, but as we’re swept up in small-town shenanigans, family drama, and tipsy treehouse takedowns (don’t ask), I find there’s more to Seb than just charm and come-to-bed-eyes. A whole lot more. But when the week is up, will our fake date arrangement become something real? Or is our flirty fling destined to remain fiction?


Review:



One Week Wingman was another good rom-com in this series of interconnected standalone stories written by my favourite author Lila Monroe. She writes smooth, easy to read novels with a lot of funny and steaming scenes and charming characters.

Roxy is The Mavericks' bartender, she has to go back to her small town for a school reunion and her mom's anniversary party. She doesn't want to feel the black sheep of the family without any important goal in her life so she made up a fake boyfriend. Sebastian doesn't like to be tied down by one woman, his only commitment is his work, so when for his dream work he needs to show his serious intentions he makes up a fake girlfriend. When her attractive boss shows up at her parents' door Roxy is surprised, but when she finds out Sebastian is there as her fake boyfriend she is utterly shocked. They share a strong attraction and spending some days together, knowing each other better make some new feelings bloom.

I loved Roxy and Sebastian. In the previous books in this series they seem so free and strong, unaffected by what people think of them, but reading their own story and knowing them better I realized I was wrong about them. I thought they won't be the right choice for each other but while I read their banters and their confidences to each other they finally clicked for me too. They are sweet and protective and really hot, and their relationship is genuine. I adored the ending.

I've enjoyed this book and I recommend it.
