Description

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.

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

Add this book to your summer beach bag. The Love Scam was an everything you ever wanted kind of read: mystery, adventure, comedy,love, sex it has it all. The authors style made Love Scam hard to put down. Some descriptions where queasy-funny like when Rake is talking about vermouth being the devil’s urine or the taste of vermouth barf from drinking too much. Another was Rake’s hangover and not knowing if he had a headache or if his brain was trying to eject from his skull in self-defense. Lots of fun and a great read.

I loved this story in fact as soon as I was done reading I went ahead and purchased the twin brother mentioned in this story’s book. It was a cute read that had me smiling throughout.

She's back and better than ever, people! Mary Janice Davidson drew rom-com (emphasis on the com!) readers in first with her Undead series and now she's having us hold our bellies from laughter with Danger. In the second book in the series, The Love Scam focuses on Rake Tarbell, a rich boy from a rich family. But he's our lovable, polyglot, fun-loving rich boy who gets into a lot of trouble in Venice. With Claire Delaney and Lillith, awesome and unexpected heroines, by Rake's side, readers are taken on trip full of espionage, mystery, comedy, and a dash of romance. When in Venice, right?

All the stars!!!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Very cute - I loved getting to know Rake and Delaney! I wasn’t sure about the start, but quickly liked Rake so much. Lots of Italian - I did find myself googling some phrases which was a bit disconcerting, but very fun overall!
