Blurb
One weekend—no strings, no expectations, and
no commitments. On Sunday afternoon it all ends, or does it?
No-nonsense
businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He’s headed to Connecticut for the
weekend to attend his cousin’s elaborate wedding. His whole family will be there
in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer’s brother,
Ava has been telling her friends she’s planning a magical reunion with her
favorite ex-boyfriend. Spencer’s not in the mood to deal with her, but he can’t
miss the wedding. He needs a plan.
Struggling
Brooklyn waitress and aspiring graphic designer Dakota Vercelli has fallen on
hard times. College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a
toll on her. A chance encounter with Mr. Cannon, CEO of Cannon and Carrington
Advertising, leads to a proposition that may be just the thing to solve both of
their problems. Spencer’s offer—spend four days with him during the wedding
festivities and keep his ex off his trail. In return, he’ll compensate her
generously for her time. He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the
cash.
It was
just supposed to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under
the stars, and attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the
illusion end when the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning?

My Review
One proposition..One weekend..no strings attached..
what could possible go wrong?
4 short, sweet, I-want-more Stars!!
This is a story of Spencer Cannon and Dakota Vercelli..
Spencer is a no nonsense business man a total workaholic who has his cousins wedding to attend at the weekend, everything is all fine until last minute he find out that his obsessive ex-girlfriend Ava, has told everyone how she wants to be back with him and will try her best on the weekend to sort things out between them..
This is a big no-no for Spencer as he doesn't think they were compatible and he isn't interested.To get Ava to stop bothering him and move on he has to think of something and fast..then his brother suggests he bring a date but at such short notice where will he find her from?
Dakota Vercelli (Coda) is having a bad night she is struggling with money issues.College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a toll on her.After being overheard by Spencer on the phone to her mother who is worried about money, she leaves thinking nothing of it..
After seeing Coda, Spencer is intrigued by her. She is beautiful and he is shocked he has never seen her before.A plan pops into his head and he goes to where she works..
A proposition for Coda to spend the weekend with him for money..Its a win win situation right? So what could go wrong?
I enjoyed this book even though I felt it was too short! I wanted more, the ending felt like things were just getting started..
I enjoyed how Coda teases Spencer, he really needed to loosen up and she was perfect for him.I hope this turns into a series!!

Excerpt
“I have
a proposition for you.”
“A
proposition?” What could he possibly have to offer her?
“I have
to attend my cousin’s wedding this weekend. Actually, I have to leave tomorrow
afternoon. I don’t want to go alone for reasons I don’t wish to discuss right
now. I need someone to accompany me. I’m offering that to you.”
“And you
think I’m ‘to the point’?”
He
smiled but didn’t say anything. She couldn’t stand the silence. She wanted to
figure out his game. There had to be some sort of catch.
“You
want me to go to a wedding with you?”
“It’s in
Connecticut. I would require your services until Sunday afternoon. All of your
expenses would be paid, including a wardrobe which would be yours to keep after
the weekend.”
“You
need a date?”
“I would
need you to appear as my girlfriend.”
“Is this
a joke?”
“I
wouldn’t joke about something like this. I’ve thought the entire thing
through.”
“A man
who looks like you should have no problem finding a real girlfriend to buy
clothes for and flaunt in front of his family.” She thought for a moment.
“Unless there’s something wrong with you.”
“There’s
nothing wrong with me.” He raised his voice a bit. “I had planned on attending
alone but circumstances have changed. I’m in a bind and from what I gather, you
are too.”
Her
instincts screamed to run in the opposite direction. She’d never been the type
to fall for a scam. “I’m not interested in—”
“I’ll pay
you two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your time.”
“What?”
Apparently a side of crazy came with those good looks.
“One
hundred and twenty-five thousand today, if you agree.” He pulled out a check
from the inside pocket of the jacket he had draped on the back of the chair. He
slipped the mint green paper across the table. “You’ll get the rest on Sunday
afternoon.”
“That’s
fifty grand a day.” She studied the check. It would take her years to make that
kind of money working these shit-end jobs.
“I’m
aware.” He nodded as if the money meant nothing. “I’m asking for your time, a
commodity I believe should be well compensated.”
Too good to be true.
“Do you
make it a habit of paying women to be your girlfriend?”
“Pretend
girlfriend,” he reminded her. “You would be the first.”
“Why
me?”
“Does it
matter?”
“What
exactly do you expect me to do for that money?”
“I told
you.” He narrowed his eyes. “I need a date for a long weekend. Everyone needs
to think we’re a couple.”
“You’re
willing to pay me to go away with you for four days. I’m supposed to take your
word we’re going to a wedding in Connecticut? How do I know you won’t kidnap me
and want to do all sorts of kinky stuff to me? You could be some sex-obsessed
lunatic.”
“Kinky
stuff?”
“Yeah,
you know, like bondage and blindfolds.”
“Do you
like that sort of thing?” He tried to conceal his smirk.
