The Husband Hoax
Ratings11
Average rating3.7
It's not every day you wake up to a stranger getting into your bed. Only, he isn’t a stranger at all, he’s my best friend’s hot older brother...and apparently my new roommate. Having him in my space, driving me crazy, isn’t a problem at all. Nope. All I need to do is keep control of the situation... But that's easier said than done. Shawn Lassiter is the kind of distraction I don't need. Those muscles and tattoos, wearing nothing but a towel, making me coffee in the morning. It’s more than any girl can resist. Right? But Shawn is off-limits, even if his eyes are saying differently. Years ago, back when I still had my crush, he destroyed friendships with his reckless playboy antics. There’s no way I’m touching those perfectly formed abs now. I don’t care how nice and responsible he’s acting. I’m the smart girl—the glasses-wearing, book-reading workaholic. I can totally do this. After all, it’s only for two and a half months. I'll be on my best behavior...even if Shawn isn’t. Each book in the Accidental Love series is STANDALONE: * Wrong Bed, Right Roommate * Wrong Bed, Right Girl * Wrong Bed, Right Man * Wrong Bed, Right Brother

Don't let the 3 stars put you off! This was a very sweet, wholesome romance propelled by quite a few classic tropes in the genre
This book would be perfect for a beginner MM reader who's not quite yet familiar with the norms of the genre. This book's got the overbearing family who are the driving obstacles to the romance, fake-dating (fake marriage?) trope, a formulaic and comfortable plot where the love interests get their HEA, and lovely side characters who support the main characters through every step of the way. It really is the whole package as an ideal introductory book for the genre, which is amazing!
But as someone who priorities rating based on enjoyment, the things I just mentioned were a pitfall for me. The plot was good, but was certainly predictable for me as someone who's already quite invested in this genre. Nothing really stood out as special or memorable, the characters were pretty run-of-the-mill love interests who are good people for each other and sufficiently compatible, it's got an adequate amount of humour sprinkled throughout, but the book basically delivered exactly what it promised, so I can't fault it. Also, it doesn't help that I love my romanced angsty and complicated, and this was anything but that.
The only real criticism I have is that, even though I go into all romance novels with a hefty amount of suspension of disbelief, Christian's clumsiness throughout the book as a quirky character trait felt overdone. Maybe I'm just ignorant since there are probably people like him out there, but the second had embarrassment was exhausting
We love a sweet and vulnerable MMC!
A classic Saxon universe read.
Christian was sooooo sweet. And seeing his roommate Gabe (from foolish puckboy) was cool.
Emile gave off such carefree vibes but he is definitely more than meets the eye
The narration was better than the story. EDIT: on my 2nd read, I actually fell harder for the story. Maybe because I know the characters better from the other book.
