My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A good value boxset of books.
Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid - 4*
Enjoyable lighthearted read with some humour throughout. Will be looking for other books by this author.
The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin - 3*
Billionaire Rex told his staff to find him a fake fiancee who is not his type at all and have her on his jet dressed for a yacht vacation so that he can use her to convince a certain client that he has changed his playboy ways. The person who turns up is his hairdresser Tabitha who is the most aggravating woman in the world. She is sunshiny, has a pet hamster, loves Hello Kitty and is addicted to soaps. As soon as she arrives she insists that certain people are up to something shady, but as days go by and they start to have fun with fake kisses which are heating up, he starts to think that her wild theories are not so wild after all.
I was conflicted about this book, on the one side they are a real example of opposites attracting, but on the other, she was just too irritating with her pauses for effect and use of characters in soap operas as examples of real-life events. (I have no idea if the programmes were real or not, but if they were then it completely sidestepped an international audience for the book). Easy to understand it also gave a lesson to not underestimate a woman. I loved the way that the story ended and that everything was mutual in the end.
Limited availability and no longer on sale. Books are available separately.
