The Love Scam is a great fit for readers looking for a heartwarming story about unexpected parenthood, friendship, and finding love in unexpected places.

What a fun romantic comedy. This is a quick and fun read that is sure to satisfy - or break you out of a reading slump!

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

A predicament he could solve by tossing money at it will have him spinning out of control. The slow build up will have you anxious to see what happens next but I got lost waiting for it.

A man with too much money used to throwing it at problems finds himself in a predicament it won't solve. Hungover, without his cash and a new found daughter at his heels he sets out to find answers. It just so happens the woman who brought the child to him is pretty and might like a bit of adventure.

I could not make myself finish this no matter how hard I tried. I also feel like the description wasn’t exactly correct and was a little misleading.

The Love Scam offers an all-in-one experience that encompasses everything you desire in a book: mystery, adventure, comedy, love, and passion. The author's writing style makes it nearly impossible to set aside. Certain descriptions evoke a delightful mix of queasiness and humor, such as Rake's comparison of vermouth to the devil's urine or the taste of vermouth-induced barf. Additionally, Rake's hangover dilemma, questioning whether his pounding headache is a mere headache or if his brain is attempting to escape his skull in self-defense, adds to the fun and excitement. Overall, The Love Scam is an enjoyable and captivating read.

Quick and dirty. That was the purpose of Claire Delaney mission. Introduce Rake Tarbell to his daughter. Soon it becomes clear that these two have unfinished business. It’s fun and belongs in your beach bag.

A different and quirky take on a contemporary romance. The tone and plot of this romance were somewhat out-there and unusual, which wasn't for me. However, I think there are plenty of romance readers who would enjoy this one, if this is to their tastes. There's a bit of a mystery at the heart of it and it involves international travel as well, which could be a big selling point for some readers.

This story has more twists than a pretzel. Since this is the second book in the series we meet the 'evil twin.' Our hero wakes up in Venice with no idea how he got there from California. And the story just gets crazier from there.
A fun story with lots of romance and unexpected surprises.

I was super interested and had high hopes for the concept of this book.

This book got a three star rating from me because of the story, it wasn't really something I had read before. It had a super promising start, but quickly fell off. I kept going to see what's going on, but to classify this book as a romance was honestly crazy & I didn't understand how this randomly turned into a romance. It was almost like the snap of a finger, and that was definitely not my favorite thing.

Overall, I read Truth, Lies & Second Dates by this same author and gave that 2 stars, so I'm grateful that this one was a little better!

I missed the first book in the series, so I was a bit lost. It took me awhile to get into this book. It was pretty quirky which I don't usually read, so there is that.

This second in the series is best read after the first. I love Davidson’s humor, but this one didn’t quite hit for me.

This was entertaining, but I didn't really care about anyone the characters. I just wanted more depth from the story/characters.

This book drips with sarcasm and being that is my first language I enjoyed that just a little. I do think I missed a bit having not read the first book in the series but that is my issue and not the author's. I do think it had great potential that was not quite reached.

Apologies for the late notice, but I have decided not to review this title. While I am certain it's obvious by now, I wanted to also clear this off NetGalley, so it's not showing as open for either of us.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Rake Tarbell has money, power, and looks that woman fawn over. He lives life carelessly and wakes up in Venice and has no idea how he got there or where he is. His wallet is gone and his bank accounts are emptied and someone named Lilith claims to be his long lost daughter! It's absolute pinnacle to figure out what is going on and fast. Maybe Claire Delaney may help solve this mystery with him since she brought his daugther to him. . . .

Their adventures were so entertaining to read and the humor was comical. A fun lighthearted read.

3.5 stars
A romcom with more comedy than romance. This book two of an ongoing plot. It may help to read book 1.
Rake wakes up to a nightmare. Hungover, broke and confused. What follows is comedic adventure. Easy to read with low angst.

The Love Scam is a sweet and sassy romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson.

Rake Tarbell is in trouble. When the fabulously wealthy and carefree bachelor wakes up horribly hungover in Venice, it’s not something that would normally be a problem...except he has no idea how he got there from California. Or who stole his wallet. Or who emptied his bank account of millions. Or who in the world is Lillith, the charming little girl claiming to be his long lost daughter. For the first time in his life, Rake is on his own and throwing Benjamins around aren’t going to solve his problem. Now if only the gorgeous, fun, and free-spirited woman who brought Lillith into his life was willing to help the situation…

Claire Delaney finds Rake’s problems hilarious and is not in the least bit sorry of adding to them by bringing Lillith into the mix. A pretty Midwestern girl with a streak for mischief, Claire isn't the type to hang around with a guy like Rake. Even if he is drop-dead handsome and charming as all get-out. Even if he needs help and she has all the answers. But if this helps Lillith, she will go out of her way. And with a guy like Rake, she’s willing to bend her rules a bit for some fun.

But when adventure-filled days turn to romantic nights as they search for answers, and someone starts following them through the streets of Venice, Claire realizes she's playing more than just a game. And maybe, just maybe, she isn't willing to let go of Rake or Lillith just yet.
