To the outside world, Heath Bailey has it all – looks, wealth, women – the good life. But appearances can be deceiving. All he’s ever wanted was a wife, two-point-four children, and the house with a white picket fence. The “dream”. But that dream dies with the demise of his marriage.

All Danica Bailey wants is for her father to leave her be, to forget she exists. Her father, on the other hand, knows she’s a sure thing when he’s in trouble, and she's the first person he turns to. But when he causes her to lose her job, Danica has a huge problem on her hands.

Heath devises a plan that will solve both their problems – for Danica to have his baby.

In his mind, surrogacy is the perfect answer. What could possibly go wrong? Right?

Sassy Surrogate is a strangers to lovers/billionaire romance inspired by Stuck-Up Suit.

MY REVIEW

Danica needs a job. Heath wants a baby. So it seems when he approaches her with a proposition that gets them both what they want, it should be smooth sailing. They'll have avoid developing feelings, avoid getting too close. Of course, we all know that rarely do things like this work the way they're planned, and things are soon looking decidedly different than either of them had ever imagined. But Heath has host of issues thanks to the women in his life who were supposed to love him most, and he'll have to put his heart on the line with the woman he's fallen for, even if it wasn't something he ever planned.

Heath and Danica have so much chemistry, it was obvious where this was heading from their first meeting. About the only reason I knocked a star off is because the timeline was a bit off during the epilogues, jumping from past to present in a very confusing way. I had to read more than once to figure out exactly what was going on. Aside from that, though, I liked everything else. It's sweet, it's a little steamy, and Danica and Heath are both sweethearts - definitely a worthy addition to the Cocky Hero Club.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
