Mama's Boy

Mama's Boy

Avery Flynn2021
Top three lies about mama’s boys: 1. That we don’t know what we want. That one is straight up BS. I know exactly what I want—to win this bet with my cousins by any means necessary even if it means finding the worst possible date in all of Harbor City and agreeing to whatever she asks in exchange for her pretending to fall for me. 2. That we are soft, little wimps. Yeah, you don’t get to be CEO of a multibillion dollar company by letting other people take advantage of you. So as soon as I realize my date Fiona Hartigan isn’t exactly who she appears to be, there’s nothing that will stop me from figuring out the truth—no matter how many dates it takes to unravel that mystery. 3. That we don’t know how to kiss. Oh yes we do. The only problem is that once I start kissing Fiona, I don’t want to stop and I have to because we’ve already agreed that all of this is temporary. Now I’m the guy that every woman wants to bring home to mom—except for the woman I’m fake dating and falling in love with for real.

Dixon, Nash, and Griff have to be the most competitive non-sibling relatives in history! They'll have a bet on just about anything. The family motto is essentially "winning is everything"! Dixon is tired of being a doormat, he's far too gullible but the death of his late wife went some way to cure him of that. Now he has an army of people that help to filter out the time-wasters and gold-diggers. But one of those "filtered people" was Fiona. She just wanted to show him her Grans skincare line for seniors, now she has the opportunity for revenge! The last gift from their late gran is the Beckett's newest prize. They don't know what's in it or who it's for so, in typical family fashion, a challenge is laid down. Last Man Standing in Bachelorhood by Christmas wins - and the other cousins get to set the dates! Fiona is challening all of her sisters these days. She no longer trusts herself after her latest dating disaster but when she sees the horrid Dixon is on the app - well a girl needs revenge to keep her warm at night! She just has to pretend to be the complete antithesis of who she really is! I love a fake relationship story line. I was even happier that Fiona found out pretty early about what was going on, it made it easier to swallow that neither of them was stringing the other along. Both families are complete nuts! The Hartigans do a great line of protectors, even when the protectee isn't in any need of them! The Becketts are rivals but have all found their own niche in the family firm so they're not out for blood rivals - just sibling rivalry hijinks! I loved learning more about Dixon's former wife and Fiona's crappy dating history. I was so happy that Fiona learned "to thine ownself be true". There is nothing wrong with being a sap or giving second chances, as long as you don't allow to allow yourself to be willingly used. I am so up to find out how Nash the suave and Griff the Nerd in a muscled, tatted skin fall!!!
