Taylor-Made for Me is a rom-com with a fake fiancee, best friend's brother and a lovely HEA. This is a standalone novel.
From the blurb:
Will Bryant Gets Roped In
It’s only for one night—well, a weekend, actually.
Becca Taylor needs a fake fiancé to take to her parents’ anniversary party. All Will has to do is shake hands, smile on cue, and act as if they’re totally in love. No problem.
They get there, they’re holding hands in the hotel lobby, and then BAM. Something heavy plows into Will’s back, and suddenly he’s flying, only to be greeted by the most gorgeous guy he’s ever seen.
Aiden Taylor Gets Attacked By The Green-Eyed Monster
It was a total accident. Aiden’s hand slipped.
Okay, it sort of slipped. He wanted to scratch his sister Becca’s eyes out. Her fiancé is freaking perfect, but not for her—for Aiden. And he did try to warn Will, especially since Aiden wasn’t aiming for him in the first place. So now he’ll spend the rest of the weekend trying to make it up to Will.
Then everything snowballs, and now there are plans for a wedding that was never supposed to happen. Becca is panicking, her girlfriend is distraught, Aiden is confused…
And the more time Will spends around Aiden, the more convinced he becomes that he’s (accidentally) engaged to the wrong Taylor.
Rogue's review:
- best friend's brother
- low angst
- rom-com
- closeted mc
This is a standalone novel, in a nutshell Will has been roped in to act as a fake fiancé to his best friend Becca for one night (so he thinks) in an attempt to put off her more than overbearing mother. There's a wrinkle when he's attracted to Becca's brother Will, and the attraction is mutual.
I have to say that I found Becca more than annoying, I get that she was closeted and her reasons for not wanting to come out were valid, but to carry on the farce of the fake engagement as long as she did, knowing it was hurting both her girlfriend and affecting Will and his life so much, was beyond selfish. I'm rarely annoyed with characters in books, but Becca did it. I'm glad Will stood up to her in the end and stopped it before she made them get married - because I think she would. She needs more people to stand up to her, I think.
I liked Will for the most part, he's intelligent and driven which is why it's beyond me he let Becca get away with the farce for so long. However, I've covered that. Aiden I feel I didn't get to know quite so well but I liked him too, and liked the development of his relationship with Will, even when they thought they could only be friends. They had so much in common and it was a lovely friendship, even before anything else. Aiden and Becca's mother was terrible too, even though she maybe slightly redeemed herself in the end, she was selfish and overbearing for the most part.
This was light, fun for the most part, annoying in places but with a nice HEA at the end. It's a good light read if you're looking for something a little lighter.
Heather's Review:
A fake-fiancé rom-com with a best friends brother twist, a strategic luggage cart and a best friend who just won't come clean about her real relationship to her family.
I enjoyed the romance of this story, while simultaneously wanting to shake Becca and her mom... the family dynamic that Becca and Will survived was definitely the wild card in this story, but it did redeem itself a bit in the end...
I recommend reading this book when you want something to confuse you, make you laugh, make you swoon and get under your skin just a little bit...
