About this ebook

Breakout sensation Monica Murphy takes the romance genre by storm with the deeply emotional, completely addicting story of Drew and Fable.
 
Temporary. That’s the word I’d use to describe my life right now. I’m temporarily working double shifts—at least until I can break free. I’m temporarily raising my little brother—since apparently our actual mother doesn’t give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend—the flavor of the week for every guy who’s heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.
 
At least Drew Callahan, college football legend and local golden boy, is upfront about it. He needs someone to play the part of his girlfriend for one week. In exchange for cash. As if that’s not weird enough, ever since he brought me into his world, nothing really makes sense. Everyone hates me. Everyone wants something from him. And yet the only thing Drew seems to want is . . . me.
 
I don’t know what to believe anymore. Drew is sweet, sexy, and hiding way more secrets than I am. All I know is, I want to be there for him—permanently.

Ratings and reviews

Everything was rushed and blown through, not even being able to relate to characters because one paragraph their having an emotional breakdown and the next everything is all hunky dory. Leaving myself as the reader wanting more but not even scratching the suffice.

Thursday one word brought me to tears! I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter... I look forward to reading more books....

Felt completely rushed. They started caring so deeply for each other right off the bat. Although I did like the plot
