Another take on the whole take a fake partner to a wedding and lines blur theme. Pleasant, light read with some humour. |
I was consumed from the first page! This is my first book by Natasha Anders and I can say for sure that it definitely won’t be my last! Great characters & plot that had me flipping the pages for more! |
This book was probably the best and most entertaining of all the books by Natasha Anders and I have read them all multiple times. I can't express enough about how amazing this book was. |

I've spent over a year trying to finish this book! I kept leaving it for a few weeks and then coming back to it with 'fresh eyes', but I really just cannot get into it! The characters really don't appeal to me at all and I found the plot really slow to get anywhere, and quite forgettable. I am sorry, but this wasn't a book for me! Thanks. |
Rating: 3.5 - 4 stars I really enjoyed it, it's a bit different than her other books. Less angst, more humour which isn't a bad thing because you know because while they are my favourites they also are filled with a lot of heartbreak and hurt so its nicer to have a book thats a bit lighter and different. |
Not my favorite storytelling and not my favorite book of this author. Her A husband's regret is one of my all time favorite adult romance. I don't know what happened here. I miss the Unwanted series and its characters so much. |
Everyone knows what a wingman is and Mason play his brother's. Tables are turned and Daisy uses Mason for a front...........at least it starts that way. Recommend you to read it to find out what happens next. |

Very pleasant with cool characters! The plot may not be original and the background of the hero a little too "prince charming" with the army/model/bodyguard/millionaire exeperiences vs the interestingly honest intial background of Mason's life, but the story is fun. With a description like, you are asking yourself what is it to like? Natasha Anders characters and the way she is able to make them seem natural and simple. Good secondary ones too. Daisy may be a cliché of the volumptuous woman that see herself as a fat one, but even if she has insecurities, she is brave and possess a positive energy. A don't like how she let her family or friend walk on her feelings and at the same time, the author point out that it can be a question of perspective. Her good nature is refreshing. Mason is the perfect fantasy on the paper. Very well put together by the author. There is a real good work on his personality and psychology. He is infuriating, dominant with a gentleman heart. If he had a more simple background, it would have been enjoyable too. No need for heros to be rich superman to make your female readers to turn the page avidly. ;) An enjoyable romance, perfect for this summer. Lucie http://wp.me/p8ObN4-52 |
This book is written in the third person and told from alternating viewpoints. It’s not my favorite form of storytelling, but I tried to keep an open mind. The perspectives flip back and forth way too frequently. I actually counted, and in one chapter the point of view changes 14 times. Fourteen times. In one single chapter. The interactions between the two main characters seem rather silly, with a severe lack of communication that reads more like a young adult novel. I liked the fresh take on the “bring the fake, hot date to a wedding” theme, but the writing style just didn’t work for me. Ultimately, I wound up skimming the second half of the book. However, I would be open to reading other work by this author in the future. |
I love love loved this book! Natasha Anders is one of my favorite authors because she writes stories in a way that many people, myself included, can relate to. Her characters are always flawed in a way and the heroes often start out as complete jerks, they somehow change over the course of the storyline and I find myself rooting for them to reach their happily ever after! Mason and Daisy were a perfect match. I loved how her interactions with Mason helped her to blossom over the course of the book and really come into herself. While I wanted to pull my hair out a couple of times because Mason wasn't doing anything to let Daisy know that his feelings for her had become real, I found I couldn't put the book down and I absolutely loved the ending! I give this one 4 raving stars! |
This one was a decent read for me.I can't say if I like it or not, I had mixed feelings.I find it a little bit boring and the characters didn't impressed me. |
As much as I wanted to like to this book I had a hard time reading and connecting to the story and characters. I even stopped reading and tried to come back and it still didn't work in my favor. |
The Wingman was a good contemporary romance. I really enjoyed the two main characters, Daisy and Mason, and the relationship that developed between them. The book held my interest, and I liked the storyline. I'm looking forward to seeing what this author comes up with next. |

3,5 stars The story was good. The characters had good developments, both of them, but I can't say I connected with them. In my opinion, the chapters were quite long. Other than that, it was a good read. |
Totally enjoyed this book from start to finish. A great story of second chances, finding the strength to love yourself & not let others control your thoughts & feelings, & of course falling in love. I will be reading more by Natasha Anders. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. |
Competent romance, but elements of the story would have made me put it down had it not been a Netgalley. I like the surrounding characters to be more fully rounded and didn't think the rescue scene was necessary, and given the settings made me uncomfortable. |
This was a very enjoyable read, it was refreshing to have a protagonist who isn't the ugly duckling if the story. She was just slightly bland when compared to her more vivacious sisters. The relationship built at an even pace that was believable and had a typical hea ending The only thing I call bullshit on is the fact that she did not know about her g-spot, I find it incredibly annoying that a guy must come in and introduce a woman to her body and it seems to be a trend in new adult that needs to go. |
He couldn’t bring himself to let her go. He didn’t think he would ever have the strength to let her go. He fell asleep resigned to that fact. This story is - The Ugly Duckling Scores A Prince 😊 Daisy is short, with love handles, a bit of a double chin and curls which can't be controlled. To her utter surprise Mason Carlisle, ex-soldier, ex-bodyguard, ex-underwear model, chats her up and makes her feel a little bit special at her sister's hen/bachelorette party. She has a rude awakening when she overhears Mason talking to his brother and realizes that he was supposed to distract Daisy so that Spencer can make a move on her oldest sister. When his brother asked him for a favor, he didn't anticipate to be entertained and a little bit enchanted by the plain McGregor sister. When she blackmails him into accompanying her to her sister's wedding he realizes that it isn't exactly a chore. The more he gets to know the spirited, intelligent Daisy, the more he is attracted to her, and the prettier she becomes to him, belly pooch and unruly curls and all. All of a sudden her 50s bombshell body gives him blue balls 24/7. Sadly, Daisy would never believe him - too often has she been the butt of a joke. I loved that Daisy didn't have to lose weight to be loved by the hero. It was the fact that Mason learned to see her beauty without her changing her appearance that made this story so poignant. I liked this kind of book because I am also a little bit chubby 😁👍 |
Natasha Anders is a go to author when i'm in need of some soul shaking angst. The Wingman was an enjoyable read but lacked the emotional intensity I was searching for at this moment in time. Still, I'd recommend to new and old fans of Natasha. After all, who doesn't love the sight of an alpha weak in the knees for his heroine? |
I really enjoyed this one, though it was not what I expected. I am a really big fan of this author, I just didn't love this one as much as I loved all her other books, like the Unwanted series. I just didn't feel like the hero really wanted the heroine. Still...it was a very nice story. 3,5 Stars from me |
