When ex-pro basketball player Mitchell Anderson sees an overturned car on the edge of a cliff during a nasty snowstorm, he knows he has only minutes to rescue the woman trapped inside. What he’s not expecting is their instant attraction, or that she can deliver one hell of a pick-up line even under the most terrifying of circumstances.

Now the pillow barrier between them keeps disappearing. And the walls are coming down. But Hope knows she doesn’t belong in Mitchell’s world any more than he belongs in hers. The question is whether either of them can trust the other long enough to play for keeps…

Book Review – Save Me By Samantha Chase

Pretending to date the town’s bad boy seemed like a good idea.

But who knew that being bad could feel so good…

A small town, fake dating, opposites attract standalone romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase

Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother’s matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn’t need to be for long, she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother’s last disastrous fix-up. It’s really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head.

Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he’s more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he’s 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him.

Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they’ve always been there and he’ll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself.

My Review

Rayleigh is pissed off with her meddling mother, Kate who trying to set her up on dates. To avoid that, she decided to fake dated Ryker whom she know is not her type. Ryker on the other hand, is determine to show her who he really is. Rayleigh from the beginning, judged Ryker for his bad boy look and but they begin to spend time together, her opinion started to change.

This is the 3rd book in the Donovan series and is my favorite thus far. I love both Rayleigh and Ryker and they gave me joy in reading their story. Ryker is exactly who Rayleigh needs in her life as he is supportive and patience in waiting for Rayleigh to noticed him. Overall it is a delightful read to me.
