Booked All Night: Forever With the CEO by Layla Hagen

It began as a fake marriage. It became so much more.

I’m Nick Whitley, CEO of Whitley Sports Industries. I’m a bonafide bachelor, and never intended to settle down. But I’m also a dependable kind of guy and do what’s right when I can.

So when my best friend and his wife pass away, leaving behind their twins, I do everything possible to help out their aunt—Allison . She’s gorgeous and funny and someone I enjoy being around .

I even propose marriage when the kids’ grandparents unexpectedly contest the custody. It’s the only way Allison can win.

To make things legitimate, we need to live in one home, and sleep in one bed. Things escalate, but I’m all in. Not that it’s any hardship—Allison is damn perfect, and the twins are worming their way into my heart. I enjoy reading them bedtime stories, eating pizza, while watching the same cartoons for the millionth time. I’m ready to adopt them tomorrow if they’d have me.

Now I’ve got to convince Allison that I’m the man for her, because I know without a shadow of a doubt that she’s the woman for me.

I am not sure why I love fake marriage books when I don't actually like them when one of the couple is lying to the other, I think it's because the main people in the book are on the same page. Nick and Alison are attracted to one another, and when Alison needs a way out of a situation with the grandparents of her sister's kids, Nick is the perfect person to help her out of the bind.

And, of course, all of that time together and pretending to be a real relationship results in them becoming a real relationship. I enjoyed their connection and their friendship. I also really liked how it evolved in the course of the book.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
