Book 1 This is the
first book in what I hope will be a fantastic series and if the first book is
anything to judge by that's exactly what this series is going to be. I found
this book brilliantly original and great fun to read.
The main characters were Callie and Dean, Callie is a university student in serious dept due to an expensive shopping habit. When she learns that a job that was destined to be hers is in jeopardy because of this habit she has to find a way to improve her credit rating. So she decides to become an escort. Dean is the brother of Callie's best friend, he's known Callie since she was young and is almost a brother figure in Callie's life however he can't shake the attraction he has to her. The two main characters were great both together and appear, I liked how they didn't actually get together until the end of the book because it builds my interest in the series and makes me desperate to know what's going to happen next.
The main secondary character is Jinny, Callie's best friend and Dean's sister, she is a fairly quiet girl who is mainly in the book to offer advice to both of the main characters. I liked Jinny 's down to earth attitude and relationship with both of the main characters and her cool approach to solving problems.
The pacing was great leaving it right until the last minute for the two main characters to get together in a slightly round about way. I can't wait to read more in this series.
The storyline was brilliantly original and unlike anything I have read before making it a truely fun and enjoyable read.
4 stars and on to book 2.

So this book if
possible is even better than the first as we get to see how the two main characters
would be act if they were in face a couple rather than a fake one. We are also
introduced to a new range of brilliant and fun characters as well as our main
characters finally realising that they are made for each other.
The main characters are again Callie and Dean, in this book Dean has tricked Callie into believing that he wants his ex girlfriend back and to do that he needs to make her jealous by paying Callie to be his girlfriend. This is useful for Callie as it gets rid of a huge chunk of her debt and puts to rest the rumours that were still circulating following book 1. In this book we get a huge look at what Callie and Dean would be like as a couple as well as gaining information about both of their families. I loved Callie and Dean even more in this book because of the effort made on both parts to give this romance a go even if just for pretend.
The secondary characters in this book include Jinny and Emmet. Jinny is Callie's best friend and roommate And Dean's sister, she supports her brother in his efforts even after she conveys her doubts and tries to point Callie in the direction that Jinny knows would make both of them happy. Emmet is Dean's roommate who like Jinny supports Dean's plan even after doubts and offers friendly advice along the way.
I love the way these books are paced, making us believe one thing is going to happen all the way through then just at the last second throwing in a twist to keep us hooked.
The storyline was keeping on its original and inspired story that was laid out from the beginning of the series however I can't wait to see how the story progresses in the next book so...
4 stars and into part 3.

In this third book
we see the couple struggle with the existing pretend relationship and their
real feelings for each other. This book is an excellent addition to what is
turning out to be a great series.
The main characters are again Callie and Dean, in this book both of them are on the same page in terms of what they're feeling for each other. However with the added complication of the lie made up in the last book to help Callie realise her feelings for Dean. Then there's Maya who now wants Dean back as was the basis of the lie. To sum up this book it's a love note between Callie and Dean with a lot of things in the way of their potential relationship. I have even more love for this couple and now feel emotionally invested in their relationship.
The secondary characters are the same as before with both Jinny and Emmet offering advice and giving the main characters a helping hand in reaching happiness throughout the book. Jinny seems to be very focused on making sure both main characters know exactly what has happened leading up to where they are now. Whereas Emmet seems to be quietly aware that all he wants is for the two main characters to be together and be happy.
The pacing is great pointing the story in one direction all the way through then twisting us in the opposite direction at the very last minute.
The story line is great and original leading us perfectly from the previous book to the next one flawlessly. This story is one that has been perfectly planned to keep readers wanting to read more about these great characters.
4 stars. On to part 4.

This is the final part of the series and it was an
absolutely brilliant end to a series I have loved reading. It was a fantastic
love story that I will read and reread and never get bored of reading because
of the fantastic characters and the story they tell.
The main characters again in this are again Callie and Dean,
they have had a fallen out due to the events at the end of the last part in
these series of books. They in this book are really quite apart and it looks as
though they’ll never get together but that is the great thing about these books
is that they leave the best till the very last minute. Even if it takes Callie
turning her life on its axis and making an attempt to change herself to realise
that Dean is the guy for her. In this
book the two main characters are actually seen to be at war with each other as
they discover their own faults as well as the faults in each other.
The secondary characters as always are Jinny and Emmet, Jinny
in this book is very much caught in the middle between the two main characters.
She does however refuse to take sides other than wanting both of their
happiness and tries to point them in the right direction and let them know when
they’re doing wrong.
The pacing in this book is fantastic leaving us until the
very last minute to give us what we really want to hear.
The storyline throughout this whole series is original and
great fun to read; it is a series of books with a storyline I have loved
reading and I will most definitely look out for other books by the same author.
4.5 stars a great end to a great series
