Publisher's summary

It's fake, but it feels so good.

Oliver Steele is supposed to be my knight in shining armor. He's tall, handsome, and as cocky as he is rich. With his good looks and charm, no one's going to suspect a thing. No one's going to believe our engagement is fake. But he's taking this thing way too far. The way he wraps his arm around me like I'm his. The way he kisses me and presses his hard body up against mine. I almost believe that it's real. Almost.

He's doing it on purpose now; he loves that this is getting to me. Two can play his game, though. I won't let him win. By the time our week together is done, I'll leave Oliver on his knees and begging.

But the minute we're alone in the bedroom, I know I'm in over way my head. When he undresses me with his eyes, I realize I lost before the game even started. It's only a matter of time before I lose myself in his touch and let him do whatever he wants to me.

I know what I want, but I can't tell what's real anymore.

Mr. Fiancé is a full-length romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliff-hanger!

So Hot!

So Hot!! I reviewed this book for the author. I love reading Lauren's books. Holly Warren and Jean-Paul Mordrake are a great team together. They make both characters come to life. I can't wait to listen more from these two.The characters are well developed and easy to love and it feels like you've known them in real life. I love the fun banter between the characters and how the relationship changes. It has an easy flow which makes the book an easy to read. I am a fan of this author and after reading any of her books you will be too. Keep up the awesome work girl! Can't wait to read your next story. I highly recommend in reading/listening to Lauren Landish's books.

Entertaining and sweet

Mr. Fiancé in audible is such a great addition to the book! The chemistry is undeniable between Mindy and Oliver! I loved the dual POV and her sister Roxy is a hoot. It was funny and a heartwarming romance! I would definitely recommend this audible book! I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after listening to this arc.

Harold who?

This was an interesting follow-up to Anaconda. While it features Brianna's best friend Mindy and includes Brianna and Gavin in the story, it's an entirely new cast of characters. Oliver, the male protagonist of the story, was never mentioned in the first book of the series. Additionally, we never really get much background on him and how he came to be part of the story other than that he met Gavin a couple of years ago and is still an acquaintance of his.

The story revolves around the fact that Mindy lied to her family about having a fiancé named Harold to please them and get her mother off her back. Now that her mother is getting married, that lie is coming back to bite her in the butt. She needs a fiancé, stat. Gavin, having become very good friends with her since he started dating Brianna, her best friend, cares for her and finds a way to help her out. He finds her her Harold, who then refuses to go by Harold. Mindy and Oliver don't really hit it off and start out their farce with a rather adversarial relationship. As was pretty much expected, the two become close during their week with her family and the sexual tension becomes too much to bare. Love results and then pride gets in the way until the two manage to find their HEA. The story has no cliffhanger and could be read as a stand-alone if desired.

O what a difference the narrator makes...

I'm so glad the narrators changed for this book. I enjoyed the story for Anaconda however narration was not pleasant. Mr. Fiance' was different. Not only did I enjoy the banter between Oliver & Mindy, the narrators brought it to life for me. A must listen if you need a bit of laughs & a lot of loving...:)

All the right pieces still didn’t add up

This was my second Lauren Landish book. It seems she writes about uber rich, cocky guys with six pack abs who spark against strong, sassy gals. The dialogue is snarky and the sex raunchy. But, whereas I enjoyed The Dare, this one fell flat. It’s strange how the same writing style can go from hot to not with just a few differences between books.

For me the biggest difference may be the narrators. Here, both narrators were okay, with occasional pacing issues. They both struggled with clearly signaling when our characters were speaking versus thinking- causing some confusion as I listened. What really felt off for me however, is that the narrators didn’t sound like what I thought sexy Mindy or Oliver should sound like. Oliver is supposed to be tall, dark, and handsome; Mordrake’s narration just made him average, average, and average. I kept picturing a middle aged white guy with glasses and a sweater. Mindy’s narration was better, but still sounded like a tame merry go round instead of the wild roller coaster she was supposed to be. Compare that with the narrators from The Dare (especially Shane East, whose deep voice oozes tall, dark, and sexy), and this was a lukewarm listen at best without any chemistry.

Next, I found this book more rude & crude than sassy & sexy. The explicit sex came off as crass. The raunchy dialogue was cringe worthy instead of funny (example: sister Roxie jokes about ending up with a serial killer who collects her pubic hair- why?!). Mindy came off as b*tchy and Oliver, especially in the beginning, came off as rape-y with his pronouncement at their meet-cute that he wouldn’t follow any of her ground rules for their fake engagement. He reinforced his preference for non-consent several more times, with inner monologue about how hew couldn’t wait to F her because, even though she kept saying “no,” she meant “yes” and he’d ensure she’d like it. Then he proceeded to force her in several “it’s okay because she enjoyed it” rough sex scenes.

My last issue involved the unbelievable plot lines. Yes, I realize this is a romance involving a fake engagement. I have suspended disbelief and enjoyed similar romance books. But, I did not for a moment buy “tough as nails” Mindy as insecure, particularly given her fun-loving and very accepting grandma, mom, and sister. The half-million dollar bet thing also defied credulity. The final straw was the wedding set-up ... that was again tonally off-pitch for a modern day romance supposedly starring a strong, independent woman.

Silver lining: as much as I didn’t like this book, I highly recommend The Dare, by this same author for raunchy, irreverent, naughty good times. So, even if this review causes you to pass on this one, you’ve got thumbs up on another one.

So So Good

I have read and reviewed this book as an ebook. However this rendition brings a new dynamic to the story. In this book we get more of Mindy's story and are introduced to Oliver. These characters will have you hooked from the very beginning to the very end. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone

one of the sexiest male narrators

I enjoyed the book but was frustrated by the female character's passivity. saved by excellent narration.

not believable

poker bet of $500,000 isn't believable and neither is declaring love after 4 days or trying to get oliver and her to have a wedding without thinking about his family and friends coming. Then buying her a restaurant .... come on.
