I received a copy of this book for free, and I leave my review voluntarily.
Elle Sharpe lives mainly on the Internet, occasionally in California. Her endless quarantine has featured lots of tea, television, and too much junk food. She enjoys writing couples who are dragged into love kicking and screaming.
Flamboyant billionaire. Drop-dead gorgeous playboy. Controversial prankster of Instagram. Barron Baylor lives his life largely and answers to no one.
Except me.
The Baylor family is sick of his antics. And because I’m the most unflappable social media professional they know, they’ve hired me to “rebrand” him and turn him into a marketing asset for Baylor Hotels. Against his will, of course.
Barron is determined to undermine me and turn this job into my worst nightmare. But six stays at luxury European Baylor hotels might just help me survive the ordeal.
Whether I can survive Barron’s infamous seductive charm is another question. He may be the most absurd person I’ve ever met, but that doesn’t stop him from slowly worming his way under my skin. The more time we spend together the more his humor seems to grow on me. And he seems not to mind me bossing him around so much anymore. In fact, he might enjoy it.
When our fiery animosity turns into a different type of fire altogether, will either of us know how to handle it?
“I guess we’ll see, won’t we?”
Allison is an up-and-coming social media coordinator who has an incredibly gifted eye for the beautiful things in life. Barron is a billionaire party boy who has no purpose other than acting out extravagantly for his Instagram followers. When Barton’s family hires Allison to help Barton’s online image, he is given an ultimatum. Neither expected they would find what they didn’t realize was missing.
Oh, my heart! This was such a sweet story. I loved how vastly different Allison and Barron were. Allison is all business, and she is set on maintaining a very chill disposition in every situation.
Barron seemingly has it all. Good looks, a bank account with no end, and an extensive online following. Barron is about having a good time.
In every sense of the word, he gives little regard for his shenanigans impacting his family or the family business.
Until Allison is thrust into his life, what starts as a battle of wills quickly becomes an unlikely friendship, which becomes an even more unlikely love story.
I loved the character development throughout this novel. Barron starts out as someone who has very few redeemable qualities. There really isn’t much to like about how shallow he appears. But as he and Allison continue their six month trip, visiting various Baylor hotels, the playboy facade starts to fade.
This love story was so precious. I enjoyed getting to know these characters, and watching their romance ignite. Who knew “truth or dare” could be so romantically sexy?
I really enjoyed that the steamy scenes were not the sole focus of the story. Sure, the scenes were spicy, and well written, but they were mere details. I loved that the relationship was the focus. And not just the romantic aspect.
The journey of self discovery that both Barron and Allison went through was beautifully written. My heart felt like it was going to explode several times throughout this book.
Get ready to fall in love with the most unlikely of love stories… because Barron and Allison have so much to say.
