Author: Shiloh Walker

Blurb: Sabrina
He’s the cockiest bastard I’ve ever met and I mean that with all the affection and adoration in the world. I’ve been in love with him for years, and not just because of those intense blue eyes or that slow smug smile that promises to make all your dreams come true. I’ve seen what lies under that smile and his cocksure attitude. It’s enough to make me melt.
Not that I’d ever let him know. Not only is Luke Cochran one of Hollywood’s up-and-coming movie stars…he’s also my boss. I’m his personal assistant and have seen all the women who come and go in his life.
I don’t even hold a candle. But a girl can dream…right?
Luke
Sabrina is one of the sharpest, funniest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Sometimes, I think I’m taking advantage of her, but I seriously cannot cope with my hectic lifestyle without her to keep me on track.
Of course, my life just got totally knocked off track. One of my sisters called. They need me back home. My mother is sick and the last thing I can think about is the promotional tour I’ve got coming up.
Sabrina’s coming with me. She’s the only person who can keep me focused and centered in a time like this. Besides, my family adores her. And it’s just a quick visit. My mother is tough. She’ll be alright.
But then something happens that knocks me for a loop and when my mother tells me that all she really wants in life is to see her kids happy and settled down, I do the stupidest damn thing ever and announce that Sabrina and I are in love. Now I’ve just got to convince my best friend to play along with me and act like she’s my fiancée and we’re stupid in love.
No big deal…right?
WRONG.
Favorite quote(s): “Because you know exactly what I feel when I look at you. You can see it in my eyes….it’s the same damn thing I see when I look into yours.”
Thoughts: I love a good friends-to-lovers romance and I’m a big fan of Shiloh Walker. I was a bit hesitant when I started the book though….with a somewhat cocky and arrogant character it’s a challenge to also make them likeable. Considering its Shiloh Walker though, I pushed my way through the beginning, sure that if anyone could pull it off, she could. Sure enough, page by page, you are drawn further into the story. Personally, I found it a little slow to start with but it really just got better and better as it progressed. I really enjoyed the emotional connection between these characters and the engaging story – not to mention a great HEA!
