ABOUT THE BOOK
A chance to experience dating my hot boss without commitment? Let’s call it “book research.”
Lucy
“Last Woman Standing” is a title I’d never thought I’d don, but when my sister moves to another country to marry a crown prince, it’s bestowed upon me without my consent.
To make matters worse? My hot playboy boss won’t stop pestering me to go out on a date with him. When all the stars align and I begrudgingly owe him a favor, he whisks me away to his hometown as his fake girlfriend where I… Have the time of my life.
So when he asks me to continue playing pretend with him for a list of future events, who am I to say no? Will I go down in a heap of burning flames? Probably.
Will it be worth it to escape dreadful, lonely boredom? You already know, babe.
Stone
The fiery lioness is making this the most drawn-out fight of my life, but I’m used to winning. The victory blow is a result of a plate of crabs, for which I have never been so thankful for.
Except I begin to falter on my no-commitment policy as she flirts and sasses her way into tearing down my expertly crafted walls. With every touch, kiss, and witty attack, I realize I’ve grown to care about and respect the woman I’ve been playing pretend with, but the past is a haunting devil, constantly reminding me of who I truly am.
Can I continue to fake-date Lucy when I know she’s falling for me? No.
Am I able to be the man she deserves when I carry more baggage than she does on a weekend getaway? I want to try, but I don’t know if it will happen.
REVIEW
Next book in this “designated” series, and I have to say, if you want books filled with faith, these are spot on. This was a book that dealt with sexual sin, both in the past and present—often a topic not confronted with a Christian world view. I thought everything was handled very well, with redemption and forgiveness the main focus. God was center and sought throughout the entire story, even amidst the pain this type of relationship can cause. The ended was also well done.
