Big Rock

By #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author

Book Summary: 

 It’s not just the motion of the ocean, ladies. It’s definitely the SIZE of the boat too.And I’ve got both firing on all cylinders. In fact, I have ALL the right assets.

Sure, I might be a playboy, like the NY gossip rags call me. But I’m the playboy who’s actually a great guy. Which makes me one of a kind.The only trouble is, my dad needs me to cool it for a bit. With conservative investors in town wanting to buy his flagship Fifth Avenue jewelry store, he needs me not only to zip it up, but to look the part of the committed guy. Fine. I can do this for Dad. After all, I’ve got him to thank for the family jewels. So I ask my best friend and business partner to be my fiancée for the next week. Charlotte’s up for it. She has her own reasons for saying yes to wearing this big rock. And pretty soon all this playing pretend in public leads to no pretending whatsoever in the bedroom, because she just can’t fake the kind of toe-curling, window-shattering cries she makes as I take her to new heights between the sheets. But I can’t seem to fake that I might be feeling something real for her.

What the hell have I gotten myself into with this…big rock?

My Review:

If you liked Drew in Tangled, you will LOVE Spencer in Big Rock.

A quick, fun read – the book follows the story of New York City Playboy Spencer Holiday. He’s gorgeous, he’s smart, he’s successful, and (without any hesitation) he shares he is gifted in a certain area. Despite being well-endowed, he proclaims to be a gentleman and all around great guy – just ask his best friend Charlotte, cofounder and business partner of The Lucky Spot. The one agreement these two have had since college is that they watch out for each other and come calling as the “significant other” if any person of interest doesn’t get the hint to back off. Spencer decides to “activate” this pact when his father’s deal to sell his jewelry company is in jeopardy due to Spencer’s colorful “dating” history. As the dutiful bestie, Charlotte agrees to pretend to be Spencer’s fiancee for a week; but, what happens when pretend starts to cross the line into fantasy?

This book was absolutely hilarious and while the ending is predictable (come on, it’s a romantic comedy), the reveal towards the end was a bit of a surprise (and honestly created a few questions on the plausibility of it). Despite those few questionable moments, the banter was enjoyable, the steamy scenes were sizzling hot, and the brother/sister relationship of Spencer and Harper is endearing. Apparently there is a Book #2 that is the sister’s story so I will definitely be checking that out!

If you are looking for a quick read to put a smile on your face, I highly recommend this one!
