REVIEW: Big Rock by Lauren Blakely


Synopsis

It's not just the motion of the ocean, ladies. It's definitely the SIZE of the boat too.

And I've got both firing on all cylinders. In fact, I have ALL the right assets. Looks, brains, my own money, and a big cock.

You might think I'm an asshole. I sound like one, don’t I? I'm hot as sin, rich as heaven, smart as hell and hung like a horse.

Guess what? You haven't heard my story before. Sure, I might be a playboy, like the NY gossip rags call me. But I’m the playboy who’s actually a great guy. Which makes me one of a kind.

The only trouble is, my dad needs me to cool it for a bit. With conservative investors in town wanting to buy his flagship Fifth Avenue jewelry store, he needs me not only to zip it up, but to look the part of the committed guy. Fine. I can do this for Dad. After all, I’ve got him to thank for the family jewels. So I ask my best friend and business partner to be my fiancée for the next week. Charlotte’s up for it. She has her own reasons for saying yes to wearing this big rock.

And pretty soon all this playing pretend in public leads to no pretending whatsoever in the bedroom, because she just can’t fake the kind of toe-curling, window-shattering orgasmic cries she makes as I take her to new heights between the sheets.

But I can’t seem to fake that I might be feeling something real for her.

What the fuck have I gotten myself into with this…big rock?

BIG ROCK is a standalone, dirty romance novel written from the guy’s POV by NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely…


My Thoughts

I really enjoyed Big Rock by Lauren Blakely. It was a classic friends to lovers story that was entertaining and told completely from the male's POV.

The story hooked me right from the start. It wasn't over the top and I loved being inside Spencer's head. It was refreshing to read from the male POV. The characters were believable and easy to connect with.

Spencer Holiday was extremely swoon worthy. He was very self confident, but I wouldn't call him cocky. He knew how to please a woman, and he performed to the best of his ability with each encounter that he had.

Charlotte was a strong and independent woman. She was business savvy and she didn't need a man to feel complete. I loved Charlotte's character and I wanted to be inside her head a lot more. The chemistry between her and Spencer was tangible.

If you are looking for a fun read told completely from the male POV that will draw you in to the story and give you all the feels, then give Big Rock a read!
