About this eBook

Sparks fly between a PR rep and an A-list actor who want nothing to do with each other.

Leni Steele might be looking for love, but she’s definitely not looking to be someone’s fake date. Especially not one of the most infuriatingly handsome and annoyingly cocky actors on the planet, Duncan Raz. But when the owner of the PR firm for which she works forces her to walk the red carpet on his arm, she has no choice. Neither wants to be there, much less with each other. They’re like oil and water, and he gets on her last nerve. But after a few tequila shots, that’s not all he gets on. What was supposed to be one date turns into a media frenzy they can’t afford to ignore, and Leni has no other option than to continue the ruse. All the fake kisses furtive glances, and seductive touches eventually start to feel very real. But Raz didn’t earn his A-list-actor status for nothing. Is he just doing what he does best? Playing a role? Or is Leni the leading lady in Raz’s real-life love story?

Ratings and reviews

Leni is a smart and sassy woman who works at her cousin's PR company and Duncan is a hot actor who is a client of the company. They had one night together but it was exposed by media so they have to fake their relationship for Duncan's image. The story is focused on an development of their relationship. They slowly learn about each other and I suspect that Duncan is the one who falls for Leni first. It is quite sweet but at the same time, their chemistry sizzles and makes their encounters oh-so-hot. Their banters are entertaining and Leni tries her best to resist Duncan's charm but she also can't stay away from him. One night turns to be so much more and ends with love. I have to say this book is just like my teenager daydream coming true. A hot Hollywood hearthrob meets his match who is a normal girl and falls in love with her. And of course, Melissa Foster writes the story more enjoyable and makes it hotter than my daydream, LOL.

Duncan "Raz" ruined me for all other Love in Bloom men ! Leni and Duncan are so perfect together; such a powerful chemistry, it's crazy! They broke my heart in tiny little pieces ! They share the same passion for their careers, believe in family, loyalty and deep strong friendships. They both suffered from terrible losses and had their feathers ruffled. What started as a fake date turns into a passionate, wild and beautiful steamy relationship as well as a deeper understanding connection. They easily fall into their "roles" , confides in each other, have fun in and outside of the bedroom and yet they refuse to see what an amazing real relationship they could have. Sinful, Steamy, you'll fall head over heels for them !

In this audiobook we get to meet Leni Steele and Duncan Raz. I love listening to audiobooks because they are so conIn this audiobook by Melissa Foster, we get to meet Leni Steele and Duncan Raz. I love audiobooks because they are so convenient. Just hop in the car and start listening. I loved the narrators Jacob Morgan and Savannah Peachwood. They brought the story to life. Both Leni and Duncan were not looking at all for any type or relationship and they got more than they bargained for. What started as a fake date to help Duncan Raz's image turning into something more meaningful. There first night together to scratch the itch for Leni turned into an all night sexual escapade that was extremely hot. I had to read that part twice. From their easy banter to more fake dates, have them opening up more than they expected. Telling each other about their families and opening up about past hurts starts turning their fake dates into something more. Leni and Duncan complimented each other perfectly and they were exactly what they both needed. This book was hands down my favorite by Melissa Foster. were not looking at all for any type or relationship and they got more than they bargained for.
