*****FOUR STARS*****He might be more trouble than he's worth but I don't think so. This man came into my life for some reason. Just as I came into his. Maybe we're supposed to help each other cope. Or give each other hope. Drew Callahan and Fable Maguire come from two different worlds and yet they seem to have so much in common. Drew is the popular college football player and Fable is a waitress at the local bar in town that all the college kids hang out as. She's got quite the reputation aro...

4.5 MARSHMALLOW (but not the soft and squishy marshmallows….no, these are the fucked-up marshmallows!!!) STARS!!!!! I did not expect to enjoy this book so much! The blurb sounded predictable and cliché (guy asks girl to be his pretend girlfriend…boring, right?...WRONG!). I found myself smiling and swooning and gasping and cursing….a lot!!! My Drew:My Fable:Drew is a gorgeous all-star in college. Fable is the small-town slut. Drew convinces Fable to be his pretend girlfriend for a week over th...

This was like taking a step into the unknown for me. I don’t read a huge amount of New Adult romances, I’m mostly an erotica gal, but something about the synopsis of this one really appealed to me and I decided to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. It’s a highly accomplished debut novel and I devoured it in one sitting. It’s intriguing, fascinating, sad and very compelling and has a real Pretty Woman vibe going on.Drew is our hero – all American college football star, born with a whole silver d...

Wow what was this????Amazing this book blew my mind!!!!This book start with Drew who want to hire Fable to pretend to be his girlfriend to get his parents off his back..At first Fable is not interested in entertaining Drew's offer. Well at least not until he names the amount he is willing to pay her!!There is no way she can turn this down when she is struggling to make ends meet as it is. But Fable is no fool. She knows early on there is more going on than Drew is willing to disclose. And she

I do not like this book. It is good that the author brings out the issue of child molestation to surface. However she did not give enough respect on executing it. With such sensitive topic, it needs to be address more sensitive. At the end, it was Drew who have to come to Fable to rescue her. Why is that? It is Drew who needs to be saving. I also do not like how the ending of it. It left everything hanging. And what about Adele?? She got away just like that?? I think with such sensitive topic, t...

4.75 starsMost people know this about me but I don't read the book blurbs or reviews before I read a book. I just look at how many stars my friends are giving the book. So, I was not prepared for this to have a dark underlining feel to it. Such a taboo topic (view spoiler)[Step mother molesting a teen boy. Teen boy struggling with the guilt since his mother turned him on. (hide spoiler)]Drew [verb]: bring toward oneself, by inherent force or influence; attract.Fable [noun]: a story not founded
