Reality of Love Book 3
I’m fake dating my ex’s brother…all on national television.
Gabby
I just needed a fake boyfriend to be on the reality show Desperate Househusbands with me to prove once and for all I was over my evil ex and living my best life.
Too bad the only guy willing to do the job turned out to be my ex’s half-brother.
Dimples are my kryptonite and he’s got two of them.
Rhett
I was intrigued by her before I knew who she was.
And I admit, I signed up for the fake boyfriend position because I was curious how someone so successful could have dated my asshole brother.
Maybe it’s the way her edges soften at night when she cuddles up to me.
Or maybe it’s watching her rebuild her confidence brick by brick.
Maybe it’s just the goats stirring up repressed sexual desire.
Either way, I have feelings. Real ones.
Which is a bummer when my brother, the wrecking ball, comes back through the door, ruining everything we fought so hard for.
Where’s a goat to rekindle the flames when you need one?
Desperately Seeking Househusband is the third sexy RomCom stand-alone novel in the Reality of Love series.
My Review:
How can we have this big an emotional train-wreck in the same story as this much ‘make me pee my pants’ humor? I’m not quite sure how the author managed to combine these two very different aspects into a single successful story, but she does and does it beautifully. Gabby and Rhett are nearly total opposites, yet they’ve been broken in the same way – by the same person. And they might be the perfect answer for one another to heal their pain. There were Keystone Cops kind of moments that left me gasping for breath, and Dr. Phil ones that had me blinking back tears. This story was a heck of a ride and now that it’s over I want to go back and do it all over again. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
