My Big Fat Fake Engagement Kindle Edition

Editors' pick Best Romance
Boss babe. Ice Queen.
That’s what they call me at the office.
But there’s one man who has secretly melted me for years.
Kaede McWarren.

The only problem? He’s my big brother’s best friend.

But when he asks me to play his fiancée to seal a business deal?
Oh, I’m taking this gift horse and riding it while I can.

He’s got the whole tall, handsome, and intense thing down pat… with a side of quiet mystery and sexy brains to boot.
He’s everything I want. Everything I need.

It should be easy—a business arrangement between two Type-A workaholics. A few dinner dates here, a few kisses there, and none will be the wiser.

But if his business partner finds out it’s fake, he’s screwed. And if my brother finds out it’s real, he might be dead.
There are a hundred ways to lose, but when I’m in his arms, I feel like I’ve already won.

My Big Fat Fake Engagement is a full-length romance with a happily ever after and no cliffhanger.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Light and STEAMY
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020

    My favorite read from Lauren Landish so far? Quite possibly. It's light, steamy, and a lot of fun. Landish knows how to write a rom com, with playful antics and a heavy dose of sexy. This brother's best friend/fake relationship romance is lighthearted and everything you could want from the trope - it's definitely a play on a familiar storyline, but distinctly the author's style. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

    The story follows Kaede, a gym owner who is seeking out a business partner to build the brand. When a potential investor hints that the deal will only be sealed if Kaede dates his over the top daughter, Kaede panics and claims he's engaged. The only woman who comes to mind is his best friend's little sister, Courtney. She's considered to be a workaholic and a bit of an ice queen, but neither of those things deters Kaede. He's always found her attractive, but bro code means that she's completely off-limits. But when Courtney agrees to go along with the ruse and her longtime crush on Kaede is exposed, it makes things even more complicated.

    I love both fake relationship and brother's best friend romances, so this combination really worked for me. It's low angst and a lot sexy, with more steam than you typically find in a rom com but all of the other things I love about the genre. Landish was able to give the relationship plenty of depth, so while there were a couple of times when I thought the lust was overtaking the story, it settled into a nice, heartwarming read. It moves quickly and stays fun throughout with minimal angst. While this is part of a series, it's easily read as a standalone - though those who are familiar with the series will love the involvement of characters from the previous books. If you're looking for a light, STEAMY rom com, then this is certainly worth a read. I received an ARC via the author (then purchased it for my collection) and am voluntarily leaving a review of this light romance.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fake romance turned real
    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020

    Good book! Courtney and Kaede have known each other forever. Kaede is Courtney’s brother’s best friend and business partner. Courtney is heir to Andrews Holdings, a billion dollar company. While look to expand their business, Kaede and Ross sign with an investor, and he infers Kaede should marry his father. Kaede says he’s already engaged to Courtney and the games begin.

    Kaede and Courtney are entertaining characters and the story flows well. This is a very enjoyable book. Lauren really did a good job with developing all the characters and keeping them rememberable. The story about the shrimp in the enemy’s apartment grossed me out and made me wish I had a friend who knew such devious plans!

    My only criticism of this book is that it starts dragging at about 89%. The climax happens early and the last 11% drags. A few more sex scenes could have kept the story moving a little better at the end.

    Overall, this is a good book. The plot is well developed and enjoyable. I definitely think you should give it a go. Happy reading y’all!!

    I never have to worry when I buy Lauren’s books. They are always well written, funny, and pull you in from the beginning and push me to finish them fast (1-2 days) max.
    Overview: Kaede and Courtney’s story. Kaede is Ross’s best friend and partner for school, work, and now starting a new gym business. Courtney is Ross’s youngest sister and worked at the family company and took over the VP roll. But Courtney has always had a crush on him, but knew it would be hard to cross the lines between work and boyfriend. But when Kaede and Ross go into a business deal for their new gym and the investor wants his daughter to date Kaede to date, Kaede takes a stand and tell him he can’t since he is engaged to Courtney. After the meeting Ross freaks out and Kaede has to convince Courtney to go along with being his future wife and play his current girlfriend. The two find perfect rhythm in life except 1 part….Kaede feels he will never be good enough for her since he was raised poor and by a single mom, even though the Andrews (Ross’s family) love him for who he really is. But will he ever over come that and except Courtney as an equal partner?

    Lauren worked her magic again with the Andrews family and friends! Wonderfully seamless continuation of the characters and weaving of storylines that are bound together by love and loyalty are definitely her greatest strength in my opinion. I reveled in the slight angst she’s so masterful with and laughed and cried until my love was forced to watch his TV shows in the next room. He doesn’t get it. Most men don’t, and that’s ok. They absolutely reap the rewards of their steamed-up women. Fact. Keep bringing it, Lauren, we will take anything you can dish out!

    Longer than it really needed to be. It had a lot of extra drama, twists and turns thatbi honestly felt was unnecessary. I loved the main storyline though because they both had found each other attractive before the agreement which to me made the transition easier and more believable.
    One thing I must say is that the author made the characters very sexy on their own- the H was not talkative but was intelligent and very aware. He was also a gym owner and kept himself in great shape. The h was described in a very sexy manner, curves for days and very intelligent and she held her own and was highly regarded by all in the book. BUT...When they got together for their sexy time it was so blah! Like the ultimate goal wasn't for the sec to be steamy but only to get to the end goal. Disappointing!! Authors need to give their sexy characters their sexy times together, let's create some steam!!!

    Loved how they loved each other, but took an announcement to finally admit to each other and every one, they loved each other, and Courtney convinced Kaede he was great. Sure wish I had read books in right order, but still going to read about Ross and Violet!

    Kaede and Courtney both have feelings for each other. Kaede won't act on them because he thinks he's not good enough for her and he is also best friends and business partners with her brother. Courtney won't do anything because she is a workaholic and doesn't think he would be interested in her.
    What started out as a fake engagement gave them the courage to take the next step for real.
