Fake dating the cute owner of
a bakery Dean is an investor in sounds kind of messy…but messy can be fun.
Norah
Donahue wants bakeries not babies, but her matchmaking mother won’t stop trying
to play Cupid.
Dean
Moser is a cocky stock market savant whose friends are all settling down,
leaving Boulder’s infamous ladies’ man all alone.
When
Norah needs a fake date for her parents’ anniversary party, her new silent
investor is the perfect guy for the job. It seems like a foolproof plan…
That
is until Norah decides to break her biggest rule and lock lips with Dean in the
middle of the party to spite her meddling mother.
Turns
out that Dean and Norah’s chemistry is sizzling hot, and mixing business with
pleasure could turn out to be a recipe for disaster.
Or
maybe they can have their cake and eat it too.
“This is a
disaster,” I groan and turn to prop my elbows on the bar. “Can I get another
champagne, please?”
Dean sidles up next
to me as the bartender fills my glass. “What’s up, sugar? I think your dad
likes me.”
I pin him with a
warning look. “If you add tits to the end of that sugar, your balls must have a
death wish.”
“Why so cheery?”
Dean asks, hunching over the bar to sip his brown liquor out of a rocks glass.
“Did your mother give you a puppy again?
That Elaine.”
“My mother invited
Nathaniel here tonight,” I state flatly.
“The perfect teeth
guy?”
“Yes.”
“So, what’s the big
deal?”
I pin him with an
accusing look. “She gave him the impression I was here for him. Like I was some
lonely sack who couldn’t get a date even if I wanted to. Jesus, this is
embarrassing.”
“Relax.” Dean turns
to face the party and rests his elbows behind him like he doesn’t have a care
in the world. “We’ll just have to break some of your rules.”
“What do you mean?”
I grab a nut from the bowl on the bar and chew on it nervously.
“Well, if you want
this guy to steer clear, then a little PDA might be in order.”
“What kind of PDA?”
If he says kissing, I’ll spontaneously combust.
Dean seems to read
my mind and rolls his eyes. “Relax, sugar cake, I mean a little…affection.
Maybe we dance. Maybe I put my arms around your waist or play with your hair a
little. Or maybe we get practically pornographic, and I waffle your fingers.”
He laughs casually. “Something to show your mother this Nate guy doesn’t have a
chance.”
I nod thoughtfully
as I process what Dean’s just said. He mentioned touching me so casually like
it’s no big deal. I suppose it isn’t since he seems to flirt with anything that
walks. But I’ve been out of the game for a while now, and I can count on one
hand the number of people I’ve been affectionate with, and even those were
years ago. Is this really something I can pull off?
“Norah, drink the
rest of that champagne. It’s going to be fine.”
I close my eyes,
letting his words sink in while feeling anything but fine. “Okay, just promise
you won’t try to kiss me. I’m barely holding it together as it is, and if I
have to worry about you breaking the ultimate rule, I won’t survive this
night.” I tip the rest of the champagne into my mouth.
“Relax, I won’t
tongue thrust you in front of all your parents’ friends. I’m a mountain
manwhore, but I draw the line at lip raping.”
Take A Number is the fourth title in
the Wait With Me series, and Dean Moser has made frequent cameo appearances in
the previous titles and I was eager to read his story.
Dean and Norah both have family and
friends who have made it their personal mission to pressure them into finding a
happy ever after and settling down. Neither
are interested and decide the best way to forge their own path is to fake a
relationship.
Dean is your stereotypical metrosexual
male. He’s dresses well in tailored
clothing, and is an intelligent, successful an self-made man. He’s also incredibly loyal and will do just
about anything for his two best friends Lyndsay and Kate.
Norah is a driven and determined and
career orientated woman, doing her best to create a croinut empire, and the
last thing on her mind is marriage and babies.
This slow burn romance is loaded
with heat, heart and humor. The banter
is witty, fun, flirty and at times antagonistic and sure to have you laughing
out loud. The chemistry is undeniable
and the love scenes are passionate and steamy.
I highly recommend Take A Number if
you enjoy a heartfelt, laugh out loud romantic comedy.
