Description:
Once upon a time in New York City, there was a down-on-his-luck actor named Reeve, who was talented and gorgeous in that dreamy, broody sort of way that makes all the women swoon. But show biz is a rough biz – he lost out on a part in a big film, and now his day job hours have been cut too. What’s a handsome young thing in need of a role to do? Enter Sutton Brenner. She’s sexy and shrewd and the most top-notch casting director there is. She’s this close to landing a coveted gig casting a film based on a best-selling mega-romance novel, but there’s a catch. After one too many transgressions with lovely single ladies, the film’s philandering producer has been put on a short leash by his wife, who’s forbidden him from working with anyone unattached. So the happily single Sutton strikes a pact with Reeve – play the role of her fiancee until she closes the deal, and he’s guaranteed to get an audition for the starring role in the film. But as the two play pretend, the lines between make-believe and matters of the heart start to blur. Especially after that hot night in the balcony of the Broadway theater. And that scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library. Who’s playing who? Or is someone else really the director in the secret affair of their lives?
PRETENDING HE’S MINE is a companion book in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling CAUGHT UP IN US series. It can be read before or after CAUGHT UP IN US. You do not need to have read CAUGHT UP IN US to enjoy this story, though characters from CAUGHT UP IN US appear in PRETENDING HE’S MINE.
In this novella we meet Reeve from the first book Caught Up In us. An out of work actor looking to 
score a big role and let me tell you he scores the role of a lifetime! Sutton Brenner is the best at casting male roles in any film. She knows how to pick out the best actors with the best bodies but before she could even get the top movie the producers wanted to meet her fiancé. The one she didn’t have. In steps Reeve. The problem or not was these two were chemically induced from the get go, yet neither knew if the other was acting or not. Although I would have loved more story with these two because they were just so hot together.
Lauren Blakely wrote it all so perfectly well in the short about of time. Reeve was every bit as alpha in a gentle, gorgeous package that I only wanted more of. Sutton was a dominant business woman that needed to lose control and in Reeve’s hands she was nothing but putty. Oh boy Ms. Blakely sure knows how to get the spice going and the steam rising. I just love this series!
Thanks Shey!
