Book Review: The Unwilling Plus One

 

A fake boyfriend.
A killer family.
And a deadly wedding.

Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to dish out death. Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure. Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? Zero. When her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty, Maggie panics and hatches the world’s worst fake a relationship to buy herself some time.

Enter Roman Ellis. Maggie's hot, grumpy neighbour and internet-famous 'celibacy' influencer. Little does he know that Maggie knows all about his secret life. She hears it all through her bedroom wall. He’s gorgeous, insufferable, and wouldn't look at her twice given the chance.

But Maggie isn't giving him the chance; she's taking him home whether he likes it or not.

They just need to make it through an eleven-hour drive to the Highlands for her father’s wedding. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, a suspicious stepmother-to-be who may or may not be poisoning the groom, and a stalker ex lurking in the wings.

All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, killing anyone, or falling in love.

Unfortunately, Roman has a talent for making her want to do all three.

Darkly funny, spicy and unhinged, The Unwilling Plus One is a rom-com for truly unconditional love.

My Review

Maggie is a feisty FMC. She is my spirit animal. She did not want to chance fate by attending a wedding by herself, so she took matters into her own hands and "kidnapped" Roman. I howled with laughter when Maggie asked Roman "I need you to act like you don't hate me." 

I laughed so much reading this book. It is the perfect read for those who loved Butcher and Blackbird. There was never a dull moment to be found where Maggie and Roman are involved. As the story progressed, they fed of each other with the witty banter. This just added to the steamy tension that was building between them. 

Run don't walk and slam that one click button to download and read this book. Although, be warned as you are going to want a physical copy as a book trophy for your bookshelf. This book is a must, MUST read!
