Book Review - Pretending with the Playboy by Tracey Livesay




My Thoughts

Carter is a playboy and avoids commitment. Then his aunt falls ill and things change for him. Knowing that his aunt wants him to settle down more than anything, he lies and tells her that he is engaged to Lauren. She goes along with the charade and in the process they can't fight the attraction they have for each other. 

I really liked that Tracey didn't leave Carter as the unlikable jerk that he was at the beginning of the story and revealed that there was so much more to him. I also liked that she created Lauren to be strong enough not to put up with anything Carter dished out, but at the same time left her with room for growth during the story as well. I so enjoyed their story.

I give Pretending with the Playboy 4 hearts!



About the Book

Commitment makes you weak. It's playboy Carter Richardson's motto. The only exception to the rule is his aunt, and when Carter learns she's terminally ill, he rushes to her bedside. Filled with fear and guilt—and desperate to ease his aunt's mind—Carter does the only thing a guy could do...he panics and blurts out that he's engaged to his aunt's enticing protegĂ©e.

Lauren Olsen has already had her heart crushed once by Carter. Against her better judgment, she agrees to keep up appearances—until Carter makes their “engagement” public in order to protect the family business. Now Lauren's torn between obeying her conscience, and obeying her desire. Because while she could never trust the womanizing Carter she once knew, she seems to be falling for the man beneath the playboy...
