This is not a stepbrother romance!! So, please don’t judge the book by the name.

This was a cute romance with mild drama. Really mild. It’s fun for a cozy romance. I’m very pleased that they used an Australian narrator for the audiobook. There’s nothing worse than when the American narrator can’t do the accents justice.

Blue & Irish meet in a bar & have an amazing night together—no names. Little do they know, their lives are about to intersect in unbelievable ways. So, suspend your disbelief & have a great time.

*WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD*

Hot and steamy, I think I need a man like Hunter in my life.

Bailey is dumped and while drowning her sorrows meets Hunter. They have an instant connection and mind blowing sex but Bailey brushes it off because she is still hung up on her ex.

Six months down the line she’s on her way to crash her ex’s wedding in the hopes that he will change his mind. Bailey runs into her one night stand heading to the same wedding. They agree to fake a relationship to make her ex jealous.

Hunter almost instantly falls for Bailey and is determined to prove to her that Nick is not the man for her but he is.

It was frustrating at times trying to work out what Bailey saw in Nick, he didn’t seem to have any real redeeming qualities other than his looks and the fact he was adequate in the bedroom department. Thankfully it didn’t take Bailey too long to realise for herself what a pr*ck he was. Unfortunately, she didn’t make this clear to Hunter which caused a huge misunderstanding that could have ended their relationship.

I loved Hunter, there wasn’t a bad or mean bone in his body and it was a nice change to read a guy who can still maintain the possible dominance we all love without being a douche bag. He was sweet, thoughtful and funny and he built his women up. As a cherry on the top he had a wonderfully filthy mouth and the moves to match it.

HEA, Ex’s stepbrother, billionaire.

This is one I’ve read twice and I absolutely adore it.

Bailey and Hunter were so cute together. I loved their fake dating scheme and how she tried to use this to make Nick (Hunter’s stepbrother) jealous.

The nicknames they had for each other (Blue and Irish) were so cute and I loved how they came up with them.

I loved the idea of Bailey having to choose between Nick and Hunter, and her not being sure until a certain point. Her choice in the end says a lot about how much she grew throughout the story.
