More Than Pleasure You- Review

BLURB:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black comes a new story in her More Than Words series…

Can I convince her our hot but temporary engagement should last forever?

I’m Stephen Lund, confirmed bachelor…and son of a successful billionaire whose sins I can’t forget—or forgive. After he delivered an ultimatum to either get over his transgressions or get out of the family business, I put space between us with a temporary getaway to Maui. My rental’s sexy caretaker, Skye Ingram, is a beautiful distraction. Yeah, it’s a terrible time to start a fling, but I can’t help wanting to give her every bit of pleasure she’s willing to take.

When Skye needs a date to her ex-boyfriend’s wedding, I’m game to play her pretend fiancé. The jerk should see what he passed up…and that I’m holding her now. But our pretend engagement begins to feel real. Our passion certainly is. So are the consequences. When I’m confronted with the reality that our lives are now irrevocably entwined, I have to choose between leaving Skye to return to the life—and wealth—I’ve always known or abandoning everything familiar to start over with the woman who awakened my heart.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

My Review:
My Rating: 3 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Sometimes the problem with novellas is the author is trying to cram too much in a short time that some of the details that connect the reader to the characters fall short. This novella is about Stephen, who is staying in Maui trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. His caretaker Skye is trying to just live her life and make it through her ex-boyfriends wedding. Stephen decides to help her out and be her fake fiancee.

I felt everything moved really fast and wish the author would have slowed down a few parts. I think this could have been amazing if they author would have taken out some of the obstacles for this couple since it was such a short story, but it was cute. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a cute, fast story to read.
