Title: Don’t Fall For Me<\/a>
Author: Gigi Black<\/a>
Genre: Contemporary Romance
My rating: 3 of 5<\/a> stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Fall For Me is your typical fake fiancee romance, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that. This Cinderella story with a corporate vibe will please any reader who thirsts for subscription books from Harlequin and Silhouette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damien Woods is between a rock and his immovable father–a real despicable cat with nine reprehensible corporate lives–who can make the Woods offsprings’ life hell. His latest proclamation is that Damien finds a wife in the next thirty days or lose his inheritance and place in the company. Damien has just the person in mind. Someone he just reacquainted with, Hazel McCutcheon, the one he burns for, but threw away in high school, she drives him crazy and is desperate enough to go along with his ridiculous plan. Or so he thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinderella is overworked. Her dad has cancer; she’s losing her family legacy to pay his medical bills. Hazel works a crap job with no help from her flighty sister, and handouts are still something she’s unready to accept. Worst she loathes Damien Woods. He’s arrogant. Sexy. Wealthy. Too powerful. And he won’t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Argh! One of the things Gigi Black did correctly was writing her villains: Kara and Mortimer are easy to–ARGH! Kara was one-hundred percent smackable. Mortimer was smack-downable. I found myself so angry with them both I wanted to spit tacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also appreciated that she redeemed one of the characters Damien introduces as a possible rival and makes him an excellent ally. There were so many antagonists already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Fall For Me will be an excellent read for anyone looking for something to curl up on the weekend with and romance your days away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and it didn’t escape my notice, the cutesy potential play on words, any marriage between Damien and Hazel would make her Hazel Woods. Nice one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
