My dislikes for this book was it started off slow and I didn't really get into it until chapter 3. Also I hated the name Topher. And lastly I would've liked to see more of an ending or happily ever after at the end. Now in stating my dislikes I really found I enjoyed his book more then I anticipated. Tophers character was absolutely amazing. I loved everything about her. She just rolled with the punches. And James was like her missing link. And as for Danny I just didn't like him. I found myself reading this book in one sitting. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down. Topher takes a job pretending to be Danny's girlfriend so he doesn't get cut off from his funds. Topher could really use the money so she takes the job. She can pretend to be a bad girlfriend for a few weeks. Except Danny's uncle isn't an old crotchety uncle like she expected. No, James is quit the opposite. |
I don't remember when did I laugh so much by reading a book. This one was so funny on. Topher is one of a kind character first I didn't know what to think of her when does she act when is she normal. Because what everything she said and done hilariously. James is a character we don't see much of the background we don't see his POF so it is very little reviled of him and of his past. We do see that he holds love toward Thoper in a way he cares about her. The story is intertwined with so many unpredictable events and a lot of improvising from Thoper sied. Ther are also very dirty hot scenes in the book and a few things I didn't quite understand but goes definitely in some psychiatric evaluation of the situation. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly |
OMG What did I just read! This has to be the funniest thing since wallbanger! This book was part comedy, part Christmas story, part erotica, and partly a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I was enjoying it so much I read it in one sitting. Definitely a fun read, with a good story. My only complaint would be the "Daddy" I just never understood the appeal of calling your lover Daddy. I felt like that was just too over the top, but everything was perfection! ..... (¯`v´¯)♥ .......•.¸.•´ ....¸.•´ ... ☻/ /▌♥♥ / \ ♥♥ |
Topher was an average girl working in a coffee shop waiting for acting jobs when Danny comes in with a proposal to act as his girlfriend on a trip back to Chicago. It's a very fun Topher who arrives in Chicago with Danny to meet both his mom, Jules and Uncle James. The hilarity commences as Topher might just be the worst girlfriend ever. The harder she acts the more she endears herself to both James and the whole household and eventually us as the reader. I think Danny, the fake boyfriend #1 is long forgotten but Coco Topher will prove herself invaluable to his family. |
I should think this goes without saying, but I obviously expected to like this book when I picked it up. I mean, that's why I picked up, right? What I didn't expect is that Topher's off-the-wall observations would have me laughing out loud as she took her normal personality and dialed it up to a factor of ten. Ditzy Topher was strangely endearing. She was a blunt, motor-mouthed, insanely upbeat hurricane who gave (almost) everyone around her a reason to smile. The smiles started with Jamie. Although he was treated to Ditzy Topher first, he caught enough glimpses of the other her to figure out she wasn't as air-headed as she was pretending to be. Watching him unbend in the face of her unflaggingly optimistic spirit was fun. Topher made him laugh. She made him burn. She brought out the bossy side in him without even trying. Let me just say Topher REALLY LIKED that bossy side, so this was a win for everyone. There's a little age play (nothing to shocking in my opinion, but I routinely read about aliens getting down and dirty in pretty creative ways on distant planets, so your mileage may vary) and plenty of steam between the sheets. Or in the bathroom. Or the study. These two don't limit themselves much. Anyway. Fun and sexy with a small side of intrigue as the various guests who show up at the house reveal their reasons for being there. You know, that makes it sound way more mysterious than it really is. There are just a whole bunch of folks and they all have weird reasons for being there. Mostly of the non-sinister variety, too! Bottom line: I liked it A LOT and will definitely grab the next in the series. |
