The Charmer by Layla Hagen - ARC Review & Release Blitz

Julian Leblanc's story is a sizzling fake relationship romance set in the heart of New Orleans.

She’s too damn hot, but also rude and unprofessional... yet that doesn’t stop me from becoming her fake boyfriend.

I pride myself on never doubting my decisions. It’s why my business runs so smoothly. But when a disgruntled supplier tracks me down, and I discover that she lost business because of me, I’m determined to make things right.

First step—I invite Georgie to a Mardi Gras party, to wave the proverbial white flag. Only her asshole of an ex shows up, insulting her. All my protective instincts kick in and I kiss her on the spot. That shuts him up. The only problem is, once I have a taste, I crave more.

So I proposition to be her fake boyfriend. My excuse? I’ll help her get her clients back by taking her to elite parties around New Orleans. But this fake dating becomes addictive. Suddenly a kiss is not enough; a touch is only the beginning and Georgie is captivating me in a way no one ever did.

Then one evening at midnight, all masks come off. And so do our reasons for pretending.

I desperately want her, but I’m not the settle-down-type-of-guy, and Georgie deserves that. With her, I’ve become the man I never thought I ever could be. Our passion is real. But can we have more?

I love New Orleans, and I really enjoy this author, so I was excited for these titles, and this one didn't disappoint.

There is something about the idea of falling in love with the person that you have been fighting with via email that really made this one a fun title for me.

I enjoyed Julian and Georgie, and the setting for their story, and getting to know them as they got to know one another and he focused on fixing the damage he had done by cancelling the contract his company had with hers was actually kind of a fun twist on a fake dating relationship.

Was there anything particularly angsty or earthshaking in this? Not really, but that was ok. Sometimes I want to relax into a good book not have my heart torn out, and this one was perfect for relaxing and enjoying.

I am looking forward to the rest of the titles in this series. I enjoyed and recommend this book.
