BarrettThe name's Barrett Callahan. Yeah, that Barrett Callahan-the one the press dubbed "Bare" after those naked pictures surfaced. At twenty-seven, I was armed with an MBA from Harvard, an executive position at my father's Fortune 500 company, a penthouse, and a different piece of delectable eye candy in my bed every weekend. I had a life most men dreamed of. But then my father decided to run for president, and my playboy lifestyle became a liability to his campaign that was built on family values. My "makeover" comes in the form of a fake fiancée who I don't even get to choose--one who is an uptight, choirgirl acting priss but also sexy-as-hell. AddisonMy latest relationship had gone down in flames, and I was drowning in a sea of student loans when in true Godfather status, James Callahan made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Seven figures for seven months on the campaign trail pretending to be the adoring fiancée of his son, Barrett. As soon as he won the election, our engagement would be dissolved amicably for the press, I was free to ride off into the sunset a million dollars richer, and because of the NDA, no one would be the wiser. Sure, I'd never met the guy, but I'd been a theater nerd in high school. I could pull off any role from Lady Macbeth to Maria Von Trapp. But that was before I met my fake fiancé-the infuriating, self-absorbed, egotistical, drop-dead-sexy King of the Manwhores.The race will be a fight to the death finish, and that's not even the actual campaign.… (altro)

Fun little contemporary romance. ( )

Lighthearted romance, with a flimsy plot. However, I was entertained, so three stars it is. ( )

Not the best, not the worst. Just kind of adequate.

The characters are paper-thin. Barrett's entire personality is that he likes sex. Like no joke. He has nothing else going for him except the desire to have sex. And being a pushover, I guess, because he goes along with this fake fiance scheme without a fight - except momentarily when he gets upset that he can't have sex for 9 months.

Addison's personality is slightly thicker, but not much. I can't even give you details about what she is like as a person though because it is just not the priority of the book. The priority of the book is making sure Addison makes as many mistakes as possible. Which in turn makes Barrett fall for her I guess?

And then there is the running gag of the book. I swear to god this book was written to make one joke, and then one joke only. Repeatedly.

Here's a series of quote:

He accidentally got photographed naked by reporters:
That led to the press’s second nickname at my expense. I became Bear Callahan, or the Bare Bear, because I was apparently hung like a bear. Truthfully, I really got off on the Bear Callahan one.


Barrett's Bear got brought up.. a lot.

“But that won’t matter, will it? Addison’s probably made it abundantly clear that she isn’t letting the Bear anywhere near her cave.”


“Hey Bare, how’s the Bear?” Her voice had taken on a husky tone, which I wanted to believe was from the all the coughing she’d been doing and not from coming on to me.


The first time they have sex, it was in the Teddy Bear Motel.
I'm not making this shit up.

"Well, I'm serious. Give the Bear a few minutes of hibernation, and he'll be raring to go."


Barrett's "Bear" or "Bare" came up in this book 47 times. By name. In a book that's only about 80k words long. Who knows how many times his dick came up otherwise. Lots. Lots and lots.
