He’s playing my hot date to the wedding from hell… but there’s one thing we’re definitely not faking!” Discover the hilarious standalone novel - perfect for romantic comedy fans!

Is there anything worse than playing maid-of-honor to your nightmare college nemesis? Try it when she’s marrying your DAD! Olivia Chambers doesn’t know what she’s done to deserve this karmic retribution, but she needs a date to the wedding from hell - and fast. She’s used to matchmaking billionaires, but now she needs a Prince Charming of her own. Someone handsome and famous enough to make bridezilla and her minions drool with envy…

Someone like hottie ex-NFL star Ryan Callahan.

Ryan is looking for love. Well, the fake kind. He needs the perfect woman on his arm to woo investors for his superstar new business venture, but nobody is scoring that touchdown… until elegant, sophisticated Olivia comes to him with a proposition. She’ll play his perfect date - if he’ll play hers. 

The deal is simple! Or is it? Take one week in the Florida Keys, some sizzling sexual tension, a madcap wedding, and some seriously humid frizzy hair, and Ryan and Olivia have the recipe for disaster… or maybe the time of their lives. 

But can Olivia let down her guard long enough to let Ryan sweep her off her feet? And will Ryan take his eyes off the (business) prize long enough to see what’s right in front of him?

Ratings and reviews

I really loved this wonderful romance from the pen of Lila Monroe, this is only the second book I’ve read and I enjoyed both of them. We have Olivia who runs a high quality Matchmaker Company, very strictly above board. Olivia has worked hard and knows the importance of keeping everything in her life very professional at all times. Unfortunately Ryan a retired ex-NFL star player, come businessman often needs an intelligent attractive date for certain events. Oliva is at her wits end trying to find the right one, until they both realise they can help each other. What follows is a hilarious series of misadventure and indignities at the hands of her would be new stepmom. I’m rambling again which means I really couldn’t stop laughing at some of the misfortunes. What I should have said is the chemistry is hot and they fall in love while working to make the others life better. I have to say the  sex was HOT ( swooning ) This is told in dual POV’s which builds the story beautifully. Now I can look forward to Man candy the next book in the Series.

5 Star Review of Wild Card (Billionaire Bachelors # 3) by Lila Monroe   No one is more shocked that Olivia Chambers when she agrees to “date” Ryan Callahan an ex-NFL star who is looking to get finance for his new business venture and attend his meeting as his girlfriend. Olivia is the owner of the successful business who matches people up, not one of the staff that goes on assignment. However when she is cornered into attending her father’s latest wedding to an old college nemesis, she has no hesitation is helping out her latest client as long as he helps her out and plays her boyfriend for the wedding and sundry events. After all what could go wrong, a week in the Florida Keyes, with Ryan and Olivia helping each other out? Nothing or so Ryan and Olivia think? What will happen when feelings become involved, jealously rears it;’s ugly head and attraction becomes impossible to resist? Neither Ryan or Olivia have any intention of becoming involved for real. It’s all for show. However real life intervenes and that is when the fun really begins. Wild Card is a great read full of love, sadness, hope and humour. The banter between Olivia and Ryan had me in stitches at times. Ryan is most assuredly a swoon worthy, hot alpha male determined to get what he wants. I loved this book from start to finish; it was a fabulous read, full of great moments that really brought a smile to my face and one that I really didn’t want to put down.

I love this series and this was a great addition to the series. It's the owner of the Agency to get her turn. I have to give Lila Monroe props because she did a great job creating the antagonist because I despised her. Through the whole book I wanted Vanessa to get what's coming to her. I just loved Olivia and Ryan together. They had a ton of chemistry and the heat those two generate made need to fan myself. One of my favorite things about this book is the banter between Olivia and Ryan. This book also had me laughing quite often. The epilogue has me eagerly anticipating the next book in the series.
