Romance Contemporary

In NO ROMANCE REQUIRED Cory Santangelo has always gotten his was. Victoria Townsend has always had a crush on Cory and their one night in a gazebo has landed her the man of the dreams, can she make Cory feel what she feels or will she end up losing her heart.

I really loved this book, I loved it so much that I read it in a day. The chemistry between the two characters and the story line was so good. In NO ROMANCE REQUIRED we meet Cory Santangelo who has pretty much buried himself in work and hasn't really thought a lot of settling down but when his parents move as part of their retirement they start to worry about him and don't want him to be left alone.

When Cory and Victoria are caught being imamate in a gazebo, he comes up with the perfect plan to get his melding parents off his back. He asks Victoria to be his fake girlfriend for about three weeks, meanwhile Victoria thinks this is a great opportunity to show Cory what she feels for him. I loved both characters, Victoria was edgy and was very sure of herself but never really thought she would be enough for Cory. Cory was charming and had a lot of sex appeal to him, the two characters had at times a witty banter which was very cute to see. NO ROMANCE REQUIRED is very enjoyable and it flows very nicely. Cari Quinn really did a great job with writing NO ROMANCE REQUIRED.

SUMMARY

Cory Santangelo is used to getting his way, both in the boardroom and the bedroom. Lately he hasn’t had much opportunity to do anything but work, but one unexpectedly sexy night in a gazebo with Victoria, his gorgeous and feisty interior designer, changes all thatβ€”especially when they’re caught on camera. Suddenly Cory’s sterling reputation is no longer above reproach. Since his impromptu encounter coincides nicely with his need for a girlfriend to get his well-meaning, meddling parents off his back, he decides to ask his lifelong frenemy for a favor. To pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. No strings attached. The only problem? Vicky Townsend wants those strings tied all around her. She’s battled a long-suppressed crush on Cory, and their combative work relationship has only fanned the flames. When he suggests his needs are more than she can handle, she’s ready to up the ante. And her bargaining chip is lots of delicious, inventive sex. Until they discover nothing feels as good as making it real…
