Publisher Description
What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?
Parker Brown can’t believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she’d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are “settled.” Thankfully, she’s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother—Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she’s stuck with the manipulative jerk.
Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he’s trying to hold together his late father’s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker’s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he’ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.
Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn’t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?
They say opposites attract. These opposites are about to combust on impact.

5 Sand snake dimension stars
It’s been a while since I’ve lived and breathed a story. I was actually pained every time I had to put this book down. At just over 55% I had to actually deal with life and be an adult, I begrudged every minute of it. When I finished, and yes, it was very much a sprint for me, I needed their story that badly, all I wanted to do was start the book from the beginning again. Yes. It was that good. You’ve read the synopsis I’m sure. You know the basics. I’m just here to say, buy it! Super hot, super cute, super alpha, ex boxer Ryhs Morgan (what a name), who unexpectedly falls for super intelligent, straight laced eco-warrior, Parker Brown, proving that opposites really do attract. Ryhs is foul mouthed and on the brink of bankruptcy. Parker is his golden ticket to solvency. Together they can help each other, and they do. In the best of ways. Both so very protective of each other, and completely over the top cute without realising it. The story is funny, sweet, truly addictive and was a joy to read. I cannot recommend this book enough, if I could give a book more than 5 stars, this would definitely be the one. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
