When my dad cut me off and locked my bank accounts, my so called life was so called over. Thank god for my uncle Carter who gave me a roof over my head while I figured my shit out. Where does a guy who never worked a day in his life even begin rebuilding? A cheap ass apartment complex, of course.
Enter Lauren Monroe. We met in an elevator and I felt her hatred immediately…which naturally pulled me in. I latched on to her to teach me the way of the poor, and in doing so I developed something I never felt for a girl before.
Real feelings.
Just when I thought life had thrown me the biggest twist it did, I went and fell for a girl that hated me. But that wasn’t the worst part.
The hardest part was finding out the truth and not being able to do a damn thing about the fallout from it.
Pretentious Playboy is an enemies to lovers romance inspired by Playboy Pilot.

MY REVIEW
Lauren's first run-in with the new guy in the building is a less than impressive one considering that Christopher is a douchey playboy who's only there because he was cut off from his family's millions. She can't stand elitist douchebros like him, so why does she end up teaching him the basics of life like laundry and cooking? Well because there's something about him, something she can sense beneath the sleazy playboy exterior. Or perhaps it's just cuz he's hot and she thinks one night with him will get him out of her system. Either way, she's stuck with him until his one month is up and daddy lets him back into the family.
But as she spends more time with him, the real Christopher slowly starts revealing himself, and he's actually not a bad guy. Still, falling in love with him just might get her past revealed, and she absolutely does not want that. Yeah, she should have told him her past, but she didn't and now it's too late. Will he ever forgive her when it all comes out?
I have to admit, the first half or so of this story, I kept wanting to DNF because Christopher was truly a douchenozzle, not likable at all, but I kept reading because I loved Lauren, and I figured Christopher had to show some good qualities sooner or later. Thank God I didn't give up because by the end I liked him. I'm not sure I ever loved him like I did Lauren and her best friend and Chris' aunt and uncle, but I do think he redeemed himself and proved himself worthy of Lauren. In the end, I can safely say I liked this story - it's sexy and engaging, and the playboy truly becomes more than just a shiftless loser, one worthy of his awesome woman.
