He's the hottest player in Major League Baseball, the most notorious playboy in all of Manhattan...
And my fake fiancé for the next three months.
...

I was drunk-dialing my ex the night I met him.

Six-three, sexy as sin and so incredibly rude I could smack the asshole smirk right off his face. Long story short, we got off to a bad start. But when the tabloids interpret our sparring as Drew Maddox "groveling" with a "mystery brunette," his agent presents us both a proposal:

Shacking up as a couple this summer.

It’s an alleged “win-win.” I need to prove to my ex that I'm fine. Drew needs to prove to his team that he's stable. Thanks to his on-field brawling and never-ending lady drama, Drew Maddox has suddenly found himself on the trade block - which means he needs a fast, easy way to show the team that he's settled down.

Hence this fiance thing.

Our fights are real, our kisses are fake, and thanks to the nonstop heat between us, I’m starting to mix up all my signs. But whether it’s real or fake, there’s one thing I do know:

I’m already addicted.

A Must Read.

Reviewed in Australia on 3 April 2018

I was really excited to learn that Evie, best friend of Aly from Dirty Deeds, was getting her own standalone book. I was more excited when the brooding Drew Maddox was going to be her love interest. You might remember he is the best friend of Aly's fiancé Emmett. I just knew it was going to be an amazing ride.

Drew can be hotheaded, he can be a jerk, but you will definitely know where you stand with him. He makes no apologies for his directness. I feel it is due to the fact that life has thrown him some major curve balls which has made him very cynical. But there is still hope for him yet, there is at least one person he can trust, his best mate Emmett. If he opened up his circle of trust just a little more, there would be an incredible woman for him too.

Evie Larsen has struggled most of her life, and it has made her a battler. Even when the odds are against her, she will strive to be positive and assertive. She takes a major tumble when her long time high school sweetheart ends their relationship. A chance meeting with Drew, and her whole world takes on a very different direction. I loved Evie's tenacity! I loved her believe in the good of people, her trust. I also loved the strong family values she held high, even if she had been pushed to her limits.

The chemistry between these two were off the charts from the very beginning. I admired how Evie held her own going up against Drew's smart mouth. The intensity of their passion was engaging and dynamic. To watch Drew become vulnerable with his heart was so sweet and swoony. It may take him a while to catch up with Evie, but he gets there in the end.

*I am grateful for the early copy provided by the author for an honest review.

Soo close to a five star read, just not quite a big enough climax for me. Still, I absolutely loved this book, the characters, the story, everything. The scene at the taco restaurant... best part in the whole series. Loved it. Great read 💜

I received an ARC with no obligation to leave my honest review!
This is a new author to me and WOW I wished I had been introduced to her sooner!!! Absolutely loved her writing style, it draws you in from the first page, keeps you guessing, makes you swoon, laugh out loud and not want to put it down, I inhaled this book and didn’t want it to end. Even though I’ve not read the previous books in the series (and I will be soon) it didn’t really matter as all the characters and world had such depth that I didn’t realise it was part of a series until I reviewed.

I always enjoy a good enemies to lover tale, because when the banter is done right and there is really good give and take, it makes for some great chemistry and boy did Drew and Evie have that !!!!
Drew has the Baseball leagues number 1 Womaniser and Badboy reputation and was extremely cynical to boot! But wow was he smoking hot, like perfection really!! The author didn’t take his cockiness (even though I was a little worried when he referred to himself in the 3rd person) to far, sure he was OTT confident, but he had the stats to back it up lol, thankfully he wasn't a complete jerk, he certainly had his reasons and a softer side to him that few people got to experience.

Evie started off as a bit clingy to her ex (understandable after the long length of their relationship) but once she met Drew, the gloves came off and we got to see the real her, once she ditched her emotional baggage, her ex, we really got to see the strong woman she was!!! Loved her and how she conducted her self in the face of all that jeering and heckling from Drew’s sports fan haters, thought she was perfect with Drew.

The sexy times were so freaking good and frequent but they weren’t repetitious at all and wow were they steamy!! Baseball isn’t something that im familiar with but after the author describes how Drew played etc, I think its something I may have to look into further lol!!
Overall an amazing book that I didn’t want to put down and that I highly recommend, I will definitely be checking out what else this author has to offer!!!

Drew and Evie were at odds the first time they meet. But the media put a good spin on it so Drew's agent and friend talks him into dating Evie (under contract) for a few months to clean up his image. It doesn't take much to talk Evie into it (she even refused money).
Their 1 rule, no sex or physical contact in private.
Which they break pretty quick.
A great story about a woman that believes that love make us stronger, and a man that doesn't believe in love at all and doesn't trust anyone. But eventually even the toughest man falls for the right woman.
I volunteered for a arc of this book.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2018

Loved this story, it is the best one in the series in my opinion. It’s funny and quirky with two strong leading characters. Drew and Evie had amazing chemistry between them and I loved how Evie and Drew handled her ex and really put him in his place. I’m glad that Evie was able to open Drew’s heart.

Loved this book. Very well written and funny and sexy. Definite page turner with lots of different twists and turns. An amazing story filled with betrayal and heartbreak with a HEA in the end

This book had me hooked and hot from the start. Drew is a Major League Baseball player who needs to show the team he isn’t the hotheaded player they think he is or they will trade him. Evie has recently had her heart broken and whilst at a party for her best friend stumbles across Drew Maddox. Sparks fly between these two both with chemistry and tempers. A chance photo in the media turns these two into a fake couple, one using it to get her ex to see what he lost and the other to improve his reputation. However with a chemistry as volcanic as these two have faking it might not be so hard. Their story is about opening your heart and learning to trust. Hothead will give you an innings full of every emotion from hilarious moments, frustration, tears, some seriously sexy scenes and a connection so strong that you will not be able to help but feel it. Drew and Evie are the book couple of 2018.

Perfection. Great characters. Intense chemistry. Engaging plot. Entertaining banter. Realistic development of feelings over time between the main characters. Hot sex scenes. I could write paragraphs about what I enjoyed about this book, but it comes down to likeable characters with understandable motivations. Reading how the FMC slowly cracks the hard shell the MMC keeps around his heart was a delight. There are many sweet moments throughout the book, but the gradual way the FMC sweeps the MMC off his feet was my favorite thing about this book. He couldn't help but fall.

Another spectacular novel! The banter in this one is amazing between Drew and Evie. Another book that I had a hard time “putting down”, meaning pausing Scribd when the kids were around and sneaking off for ‘laundry’ to listen in the basement for a few minutes 😂

Evie is going through a separation (which is great cause Mike seemed like a dick in the previous book). Drew catches her making a drunk phone call and can’t help but call her out on sounding pathetic. After their heated argument makes news headlines, Drew proposes Evie pretend to be his fake girlfriend/fiancé for a few months to prove his image is cleaned up and she has a free place to stay in the city while she’s working. Seems like a solid plan, until Drew’s agent says he can’t touch any other girl or Evie for the entire contract…

The sexual tension between these two was already palpable, and now with everyone saying and thinking them hooking up is a bad idea it’s just like more gasoline on the fire! And man when things explode between them, they really explode! You can’t contain this fire in or out of the bedroom 😉 In the end, will Evie be able to finally get over Mike and move on with Drew? Even if she can, will Drew get over his fear of being used and learn someone may love him for him..?? I’m torn between loving this novel, or Dirty Deeds more… they both are just amazing read the whole series let’s be real!

"Drew Maddox was used to getting his way. What he wanted he got, and what he had right now was both business and pleasure. He got all of me, I got maybe half of him, and that was just the way it worked in his world."

I really enjoyed this one, the start wasn't very captivating but somehow the writing made me feel connected with both Evie & Drew. These two enter into the fake dating pool because of a media article claiming Evie as Drew's serious girlfriend who managed to tame his playboy nature. I loved Evie but I loved Drew more no matter how closed off, hotheaded or broody he could get. He pushed Evie's buttons but she had a mind of her own. She was bold, mature and knew exactly what she wanted. I just wish the story was a bit longer because I absolutely loved the chemistry between Evie & Drew but I wish I could see them acting as an actual couple more.

This book is a total page-turner.
The chemistry between the 2 is off-charts. The end is a bit weak but who doesn’t like happy endings.
The sexual tension is something elses.
I totally recommend it.

Gaaahh! Completely adored this story!! Funny, angsty, and super HAWT!

Gaaahh! Completely adored this story!! Funny, angsty, and super HAWT!

"If any one person deserved to be the picture next to the Oxford definition of masculinity, it was definitely this prick right here."

Evie Larsen believes in love. In spite of a rough upbringing and a recent painful breakup, she still believes in love and a HEA. An annoying run-in with the bad boy of baseball gets her all hot and bothered. Insane chemistry aside, she knows better than to give in to him.

Drew Maddox is a cynic. He believes all good things turn sour. He doesn't believe in love. He has few true friends and a family he can't stand. His one true love is baseball. It's his sole focus. However, his bad boy ways and bad press have put his career on the line. He needs to clean up his act.

"She was both my problem and my solution, and I was pretty sure I hated her for it."

One chance encounter with a sexy little firecracker is spun into a promising publicity stunt. Neither Drew nor Evie can deny that a fake relationship might be advantageous to them both. They just need to keep things businesslike and their hands off each other. However, that's easier said than done when there's serious mutual attraction between them.

"While I prided myself on having no limits, I'd apparently found my first one. Resisting this damned woman."

Wowzers! I've read the previous book in this series, Dirty Deeds, and thought it was fabulous! Once again, the author brings her own brand of sexiness and humour to this novel, and I absolutely adored it!

Drew is cocky and brash, and one hot-blooded alpha! I loved how much he wanted Evie, and how hard he tried to fight it. I liked that he didn't just grab his opportunity when it was presented to him on a platter, and that underneath his playboy façade lurks a decent heart. Evie absolutely tested his self-control!

"The way she seeped into my skin and got into my head was everything I never wanted, but at this point I was too lost in her to stop it."

Evie was so hung up on her previous boyfriend due to their long history, however, there's no denying the sizzling desire between her and Drew. I loved her character! She was sassy, confident, and didn't put up with any of his nonsense. I loved how she challenged him. He'd really met his match in her.

This was a fabulous read with great characters, amusing dialogue, and just the right amount of angst. Evie and Drew together were so swoony!! Thoroughly recommend!
