Synopsis: 
He’ll make her an offer she can’t refuse…

Actress Tess McKenzie is performing in the Tenth Circle of Showbiz Hell—dinner theater. All she really wants is to start a theater of her own. Then Tess receives an offer she can’t refuse. She’ll get her funding…if she pretends to be the fiancée to her nemesis, Texan property tycoon Hunter Dade. If she’s going to pull this off, she’ll need all the luck she can get.Break a leg, indeed.

On the verge of a big business deal, Hunter needs to hire a fiancée. He hasn’t quite forgiven Tess for ruining his wedding, but when their chemistry goes from combative to straight-up lust, the “no sex” clause in their mutually beneficial arrangement is tested. Which is a serious problem, because if Tess isn’t careful, she’ll go from breaking a leg to breaking her heart…

My Thoughts: I loved Tess and Hunter. In the beginning, they hate each other. Or do they? She broke up his wedding. All they can do is argue. When they run into each other, Hunter hires her to be his fake fiancée to help him close a deal. She needs the money to start her theater. It's pretty obvious how they feel about one another, it just takes them time to see it. I loved watching them figure it out. This book is steamy, funny, and sweet.  I loved it and definitely recommend. 
My Rating: *****
Steam Factor: !!!!
