Blurb
Bane Fox knows exactly what he wants in life: financial
stability.
He does not want to be homeless.
He does not want to be the president of an
HOA.
It’s rather unfortunate he is both of those
things.
Oh, and did I forget to mention he has a fake wife?
Yeah, that’s me

Excerpt
I started to pull away from Nola, but she stopped me with a
hand on my waist. "Carol's still watching."
I didn't bother pointing out her lie. No one stood in
Carol’s window, and Nola hadn't bothered to look over her shoulder to
check.
I studied the face in front of me. Her fake smile had been
replaced with a soft look as she gazed back into my eyes.
"Okay," I said with a smile. I wrapped an arm
around her waist, tugging her closer, our hips brushing against each other.
"How was the little wife's day at work?"
Nola arched a smooth brow. "Little wife? Hmm, I think
you're going to have to pick something different."
"How about Mrs. HOA?"
She scrunched her face up as she thought about it. "No,
I don't think so. I think I prefer 'Your Highness.'"
She screeched when I ran my fingers up the side of her ribs.
She leapt back, smacking at my reaching hand, laughing loudly. "Stop
that!"
I made one more half-hearted grab for her. She glared at me.
"If you tickle me, I won't share my pizza!"
I held both hands in the air in surrender. "When you
say pizza, you mean..."
She narrowed her eyes at me as she opened the minivan door.
"I mean pepperoni and cheese."
I shrugged. "Can't blame a guy for trying."
She passed the pizza to me, shut the car door, then smacked
my butt as she jogged by.
I really wished our relationship was real. Maybe it could
be.
Author Bio
Carina Taylor writes zany romantic comedies that make you
ugly laugh.
When she's not writing, you can find her chasing after three little boys, ignoring her laundry pile, pretending to work out, drinking large amounts of coffee, and consuming as many cinnamon rolls as possible.

This is the first time I am reading this author and I really enjoyed this story. It had a lot of humor, fun and good times with a couple that I liked a lot. That said I did not feel it should be listed as a romance. I felt it was very chick-lit rather than a romance.
Nola and Bane live ina crappy set of apartments when they are condemned and they are forced to move. These two start out as ex neighbors and end up as friends as they run into each other and try and find a solution to their homelessness.
Nola knows of an empty house in a very nice neighborhood while she continues to live at the condemned apartment. So she offers the empty house to Bane. He ends up squatting there and when she is forced to move, they end up cohabitating.
The house they end up living in has a very involved HOA and so the neighbors think they are married and so they become fake husband and wife. But Nola has a BIG secret that she is keeping from Bane and how will he react?
I loved this story and I loved their relationship. But Nola's lie is really BIG and then later she conspired to keep something even bigger from Bane so I had issues with her. Bane and Nola play that they are married and so they never really date and before the book ends they are in love.
I did love them as a couple and together but I also felt they went from I love you to a marriage proposal way too fast. And I wanted less fake marriage and more real romance since I was reading a romance.
