Sydney used to make plans. All her life she\u2019d trained to be a ballerina, but that \u201cplan\u201d had turned out to be nothing more than a pipe dream. Reality now consisted of hunting down petty thieves and refusing to make any more pie-in-the-sky plans for her life. That\u2019s why she\u2019s never approached the sexiest man she\u2019s ever laid eyes on. Never again would she be crushed by pointless dreams.
\u00a0
Fate, however, has plans for\u00a0her<\/em>.
\u00a0
Styx Hardwick isn\u2019t big on plans. As a tattooist at House Of Payne, he\u2019s the black sheep in a family full of pragmatic cops. Now that his twin brother\u2019s getting hitched, all eyes turn to him, the last of the single Hardwick siblings. Getting through his twin\u2019s wedding is gonna be hell.
\u00a0
Or so he thinks.
\u00a0
When a pocket-sized goddess crashes into him with terror in her eyes, Styx\u2019s world turns upside-down. Even scared out of her mind, Sydney is still the hottest thing to have ever graced his life. He offers her a deal\u2014pretend to be his girlfriend until the wedding, while he does his damnedest to protect her from the danger closing in.
\u00a0
As a plan, it\u2019s almost foolproof.
\u00a0
Almost.

\u00a0I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader\u2019s Copy of this book


OMG!! Welcome back to Chicago and the awesome House of Payne gang!! \u00a0
Styx is the \u201cKing of Coverups\u201d as he likes to say, at the most awesomest tattoo studio in the world House of Payne.
Sydney is a secret shopper for a chain of grocery stores in town.\u00a0 Their meet cute is totally crazy!!\u00a0 Hint it has to do with her job, but they don\u2019t meet in a store. I can\u2019t get over the way they meet, it\u2019s totally unique and crazy!
Sydney is so good at catching shop lifters at\u00a0 her job as a secret shopper, that someone is trying to KILL HER and she runs into Styx literally to hide.\u00a0 See totally crazy!!
What unfolds is a crazy story of a \u201cpretend\u201d couple, a family of cops,\u00a0 and near death misses.\u00a0 The only thing that I didn\u2019t like is that we never get to see Styx let Sydney\u2019s crappy family have it.
Crap!! I almost forgot to tell you about the most amazing scene, \u00a0 a scene straight out of my daydreams with my favorite HoP artist Max and favorite ex hit an for the Bratva Polo!!!\u00a0 This whole dang book is full of drool worthy moments so make sure you have a towel ready, LOL!!!\u00a0 Stacy Gail makes sure that there is lots of hotness, love, and funny in this series and that is why it\u2019s one of my favorites.
I so can\u2019t freaking wait for Loki!!!
