Eva's attending a close gathering of friends for a wedding
at a luxurious Georgia resort. She's less than delighted
that her previous boyfriend Luke is also present - he
dumped her, and they haven't spoken since. With a
mischievous good friend from childhood, Trevor, she
concocts a plan to pretend she and Trevor are now an item,
just to stop macho Luke from coming on to her in the close
quarters. The best laid plans go oft awry...
PRETENDING SHE'S HIS makes an unusual situation for Trevor,
who gets into dress uniform for the big day. He's known
Eva so long, and they've never acted seductive around each
other. But now Eva sits on his lap and he responds by
kissing her neck at the table.... is that too much? It's
hard to know when to stop, with Luke glowering at them from
across the table. Trevor has always been popular with the
ladies, so he's never settled with anyone. Real life
catches up with him however and the question is whether Eva
will be there for him in her turn.
This is an erotic novella without much other content, so
there is a lot of teasing talk about attractive bodies and
hot feelings; a pleasant fantasy read for adults. I found
the start a little hard to get into as a lot of people were
presented at once - the author had previously written about
some of them such as tough Eva - and I was never sure why
Luke had been invited to the wedding. Presumably if I'd
read an earlier story in the Hard Feelings series I
would
know, and the author didn't think to introduce everyone to
new readers. There is some strong language and I would
have liked more description of the locality; a resort with
a pool could be anywhere. PRETENDING SHE'S HIS by Kelsie
Leverich is easy reading hot romance which does just leave
me thinking that it is a pity a woman with such good
friends needed to pretend she had a date.

in her new Hard Feelings novella, where a tempting little
lie turns into so much more…
Eva Riley is the
maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding and it just so
happens that her ex is the best man. Eva’s a straight
shooter and definitely not the damsel-in-distress type. But
with her pride on the line and her ex’s heart on his sleeve,
there might not be enough champagne in the world to get her
through this weekend.
Trevor Owens may be one hell
of a good friend to Eva, but he’s always wanted to get the
fiery redhead between the sheets. So he swoops in and offers
a solution to her ex problem: they can pretend to be
together—just for the weekend. But when their little game of
make-believe is over, will they be able to tell what’s real
and what’s only pretend?
