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.
What could go wrong?
Oh my... this book! What am I suppose to say about Lake
Redstone? JD Hollyfield just rocks. Really, do I need to say more? The way she
writes her stories make it impossible to stop! Casey has to be one of her
craziest characters. I mean, talk about a hot mess!! She is one with the mess!
There were times that she went way over her level of asinine. I'd think, is
this girl even real?!?! That's right, she isn't, but Hollyfield's got you so
conflicted that you're thinking these characters are your besties and you're
wondering where your invite for the girls weekend went? It must have been lost
in the mail. You can totally hang with crazy... be one with crazy!! Ok, so you
get that... these ladies are my spirit animals and I'm bummed my invite was
lost.
However, Jim was just what Casey needed to level her out a
bit. Although I'm not saying he's totally sane... he did agree to this mess,
after all. Let me just say, Lake Redstone pulsed with their chemistry... the
steam was filtering out during their meet up and all throughout. I was nearly
as obsessed with the secondary characters as I was with the two main
characters.
The best thing about this book is JD Hollyfield's ability to
give us so much in one little book. Yes, the majority of Lake Redstone is a romantic
comedy but Hollyfield goes above and beyond. Her storytelling is irresistibly
charming, the characters so fun-witted. They might be stuck in outer space but
at least their upbeat and possibly a bit overwhelming. Jim adds this realness
to the story that none of the other characters being to the pages. There's
definitely some heat and charm at this delicious slow burn. I was a more
shocked at the bit of tension or suspenseful feeling added in. I'm beyond
tickled!! 5 full stars from me!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope
that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review,
positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
