***4 ‘Beautiful Disaster’ Stars***
I love a good romcom, I do, but this one may take the cake on the crazy OTT situations that these characters went through. Some had me cracking up, some had me rolling my eyes and there were a couple that had me going WTF?? BUT after a bit of a slow start for me, I was totally all in on the crazy ride that Casey, Jim and the rest of the crew took me on and really, REALLY wished there had more words to read after ‘The End’ because I wanted to spend just a little more time with all of them and see where the future took them.
Casey, I really liked her. I did. The woman is sweet, caring, slightly volatile *smirk* with just enough crazy to keep me on my toes, but man she had her OTT moments. It was a 50/50 split on the ones I was totally on board with and ones I wasn’t, but it was easy to like the woman. Jim is a sweetheart. He’s got this laid back go with the flow vibe and mix that up with charm, sweetness and good dose of snark that made it so easy to fall for the guy.
Their journey is definitely a rocky one, especially at the start ~ though things don’t truly smooth out until the end between them ~ but the chemistry between them is undeniable. Despite being strangers, they saw each for who they were and wanted more, even if one was more reticent when it came to admitting it. The big blowout was expected and messy and I was definitely #teamjim, but I loved how it all worked out for them in the end.
This was a crazy ride. A fun one, but craycray to the extreme. That’s really all there is to say about it. So if you love your RomCom a little OTT when it comes to the characters personalities and the situations they find themselves in and are down for a little bromancing being mixed in with your romance, then this is a definite must read!

Casey doesn’t have much luck in the dating department, so when her girlfriends ditch their girls only weekend for a couple’s retreat, she's forced to take desperate measures.
Refusing to be the only single one, she does what any quick-thinking girl would do:
She lies.
It was almost too easy hiring a stranger to pretend to be her hot, rich, successful boyfriend. What she didn’t plan on was him being hot, successful, and way too much trouble for her liking.
Jim was in a slump in his everyday life. He was bored and needed something to spice up his life. Accepting a gig to play the perfect boy toy was not what he had in mind, but it was too good to turn down.
What he didn't plan for was the smokin’ little spitfire who hired him. It’s a con, a job, a fraud. But the more she's in his presence, the more he realizes she may be more than just a ruse.
Three days at a lake house.
Two strangers who cause a lot of mayhem.
One little lie.
