I love the work of Melanie Harlow but it has been quite a while since I read one of her books. So I was really looking forward to this new story.
The cover is divine and I’m thankful that the description of our leading man matches the cover in so many ways. A hot and delicious read, check out my full review below

OVERVIEW
I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.
In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.
Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.
Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic. We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.
Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.
He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.
And we don’t stop there.
We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.
Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?
Tease by Melanie Harlow Review
There are so many pieces in the story that we can totally relate to. Social awkwardness? Absolutely 100%. Have a mad crush on your Bestie forever? Yeah, I can I can see that one.
Harlow gifts us a friend to lovers romance with two amazing characters that are the perfect balance for each other. I absolutely love Hutton. He is this amazing character with this hot little kink to him that just absolutely tore up the sheets! MMMmmm yes, please!
Felicity, I liked a lot but I do have to say at 28-ish years old, she’s still stress cuts her hair; I had an issue with that. Most people by then have learned ways to not feel worse about themselves. Which ends up causing more issues down the road. Obviously, as you progress into the story we learn more about that.
This book had everything you want in terms of it being an amazingly hot read. Honestly to me the best part is hottie Hutton and the absolute love he has to give. Supportive and amazing. Do you think there are really guys out there like this?
While this book is loaded with anxiety issues, all in all, it’s also sweet and spicy, and simply a fabulous read!
5 STARS!
