Synopsis: Estranged from her father for over 20 years, Mel doesn’t do relationships to protect her heart. When she meets a gorgeous man named Braden, who suggests they become friends with benefits, Mel jumps at the chance. But the lines start to blur when Mel ends up on bedrest, and Braden starts showing up at her house with food. To shake things up further, Mel’s dad is trying to get back into her life, and his right-hand man at work is none other than Braden.

Review:I really enjoyed this book!! It’s definitely a rom-com in the truest sense of the term - there is a lot of witty banter! The romance was swoony, but don’t let that fool you - some weightier topics are discussed. Mel works as a professional dancer and has famous friends, so her life feels very Hollywood. It’s the perfect mental escape into the land of the rich and famous.

This book is deliciously steamy but with fade-to-black scenes. There are lots of innuendos and discussions around sex, but we never see anything except kissing. I loved the chemistry between Mel and Braden. *Cough* Bathroom scene. *Clears throat*

I loved Mel. Having had a rough relationship with my father, I really could relate to Mel’s feelings and the emotional rollercoaster she experienced when her father tried to get back into her life.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
