Blurb

I never thought my first kiss would be on my wedding day.

But here I stand, clutching a bouquet of pale pink roses behind the doors of a Las Vegas chapel, and at the end of the aisle is the absolute last man I imagined would be waiting for me.

Thomas Bane.

Bestselling author. Notorious bad boy. Savagely handsome, dark as sin, chiseled as stone. And somehow, my soon-to-be husband.

Marry him, and I’ll land my dream job. Save him, and I’ll walk away with everything I’ve ever wanted. All I have to do is remember it’s all for show. None of it is real, no matter how real it feels.

But first, I have to survive the kiss.

And with lips like his, I don’t stand a chance.

Review

5 “Can I have you?” stars!

The Red Lipstick Coalition is one of my favorite series and I am so happy to finally have Amelia’s story! She’s a never been kissed book blogger who falls for the bad boy author in this sweet, butterfly-inducing marriage of convenience romance. I love fake relationships in books and Work in Progress has everything I could have wanted from this trope. It’ll make you laugh and swoon, and fill your heart with warmth making it impossible not to fall for Amelia and Tommy.

Amelia is a delight!! Behind the screen she is vibrant and outgoing but in public she is shy, awkward, and has difficulty speaking. She doesn’t let many people in and is rarely comfortable talking to people who aren’t in her close knit group of friends. She knows she has to work on coming out of her shell if she wants her dreams of editing for a publisher to be a reality but sometimes things seem just out of reach.

Thomas Bane is a sexy author who keeps his personal life personal. He only lets the world see what he wants them to see, and unfortunately, the world doesn’t always see things the way he wants it to. When he gets into some trouble at a publisher event his already damaged image is tarnished further. Now he has four weeks to write a book and fix him image or he is out of a job.

Amelia and Thomas meet at a book signing event and there is something about Amelia and her reviews, particularly the negative reviews of his own books, that intrigues him. He has been battling writers block with no success and after meeting Amelia, he thinks she can help. After an outrageous proposal, it looks like a marriage of convenience may be the answer to both their problems. What follows is a captivating, entertaining, and heartwarming love story between two wonderful people who could not be more different or more perfect for each other. I loved it!!

Amelia is so sweet and good-natured. She is a wonderful friend who wouldn’t hurt anyone intentionally. She works hard and doesn’t back down even when she is challenged. She will never hurt anyone even if it will put her closer to her dreams and she was an endearing and admirable character. Tommy is a “bad boy” who is so much more than what the media thinks of him. He has a good heart and tries his best to take care of the people he loves. He gives all of himself without hesitation and he is this amazing man once he opens up.

Together, Amelia and Tommy are fantastic. Their connection and chemistry are realistic, and the relationship is natural, unforced, and functional. I love that they have a perfect mix of heat, humor, and heart. They are patient and gentle, they are passionate and intense. They are love and they have found a special place in my heart.

OMG, I have to mention the ending! I want Katherine’s book now! I am so excited to see how her story unfolds in Well Suited. April can’t come soon enough!
