  ABOUT BIG ROCK:

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…  

This hysterical and addictive standalone can be bought everywhere!! Go forth and laugh, swoon and fan yourself into the New Year with this dirty, sexy romantic comedy told from the male POV!


Review by "K"

5 LOL stars...  :)

Well, 2016 is off to a great start with my very first read of the year being by the very talented Lauren Blakely! This friends to lovers story was such a wonderful mix of romance, steam and humor - written from the male POV. So, if you are a fan of the male POV you will definitely want to add this one to the to read pile. Spencer won me over very quickly!
Spencer is a guy who has all the tools he needs to score with a woman anytime he wants. He is very proud of his member and knows how to please in the bedroom. When he finds himself in a situation where he needs a quickie fiancé, he turns to his long term best friend Charlotte to help him out. The story that follows is a truly entertaining romance that had me all smiles and giggles. These two had the steam flowing off the pages! Trouble is... can they still be friends when the fake engagement has to come to an end? I'll let you read to find out... :)
Lauren Blakely very successfully pulled off the arrogant but lovable male playboy. He knows what he has and he knows how to use it, but he also has a conscience which is something I found very endearing about his character.
Charlotte is a very likable heroine. She is witty, charming and good at business. Together these two make a surprisingly strong couple. I loved them together!
Here is the exciting part... the next book called Mister Orgasm is coming out Summer of 2016. I.cannot.wait.for.this.book!!! I must have more of Nick... the funny, cocky, dirty, once nerd-now tattooed hot guy's POV... I'm already grinning because that is going to be a fun story to read for sure. We got just a little taste of him as Spencer's friend in this book.

Anyway... I have yet to read a book by L.B. that I have not loved... she is always an auto read for me because she writes the best feel good steamy romance. Cannot recommend her enough to the erotica fan.

EXCERPT

I do my best work in the bedroom. This is completely my domain. So it should be no big deal that she asked me to wait here. But something about being in Charlotte’s bedroom is wigging me out.
           Mostly because there’s nearby nudity transpiring mere feet away.
           She’s taking a shower, and no matter how you slice them, New York apartments are approximately thimble size. Let me spell this out—wet, naked, hot woman in a ten-foot radius.
           Got it? Okay. Moving on.
           I pick up a picture frame on her sky blue bureau of the dog her parents have. A fluffy brown summa dog—some of this, some of that. I’m going to focus on this mutt. Zero in on him. Look at his tail. Check out his ears. Yup, this picture is doing the trick. It is helping me not to linger on the naked woman and how well she kisses.
           Or how much I liked it.
           Why the fuck did I like it so much?
           Of course you liked it, idiot. A pretty woman kisses you, and you’re straight—you’d be stupid not to like it. End of story. Doesn’t mean anything. Stop analyzing.
           Especially since she just turned off the shower.
           Maybe she forgot a towel. Maybe she’ll open the door a crack, and ask me to grab one for her.       
           I smack my forehead. Get it together, Holiday.
           I set down the picture, draw a deep inhale and straighten my shoulders. The door creaks open. She steps out of the bathroom wearing only a white fluffy towel wrapped above her breasts.        
           “You might be wondering why I asked you to wait in my bedroom instead of the living room,” she says, in the most matter-of-fact tone.
           I have no clue how she can be talking like we’re having a business transaction when droplets of water slide down her bare legs. But I’m a strong man. I can handle this. I’m not tempted at all by my best friend. Though my dick begs to differ, the traitorous prick.
           “The thought crossed my mind,” I say, as I lean against the bureau, striking a casual pose.
           “Because if you’re my fiancé, you need to be comfortable with me being naked,” she says with a crisp nod.
           Shit, she’s going to do it. She’s going to drop the towel. She’s going to make us practice fucking. I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
           Wait. No. I can’t fuck my best friend. I absolutely, positively, can’t screw Charlotte. Even if she tosses the towel on the floor and begs me to.
           I lace my fingers together behind my back, linking these twitchy hands.
           “Okay, so you’re getting naked,” I say, doing my best to imitate her cool-as-a-cucumber tone that is throwing me off big time.
           “No. It’s the idea of me naked,” she corrects.
           I give her a pointed look. “Seems to me it’s both the idea and the reality.”
           “Fine, fine. They’re one and the same, and it’s part of the debrief.”       
           “Is this the exam portion?”
           She walks past me, her arm brushing against mine before she yanks open the top drawer of the bureau. “Yes. This is the practical portion.”
           “And this is because you somehow think we’re going to be required to be naked together in front of Mr. Offerman in order to pull this off? This isn’t like some feats-of-strength style fake engagement where we have to pass certain skill sets in an obstacle course. You know that, right?”
           She nods, as she hunts around in the drawer. “I’m aware of that. I see this as more like the Newlywed game.”
           “And in this version of the game we’re quizzed on how I get used to the idea of you naked and vice versa?”
           Her breath hitches when I say that—vice versa.
           I don’t know what to make of that small gasp, or if it means something about the idea of me au naturel.
           She spins around, and holds up two pairs of panties, one in each hand. “Quick. Do you prefer it when your fiancée wears the black lace thong?” She waggles a scrap of silky-looking fabric that is so hot my face might be engulfed in flames right now because Charlotte owns that? “Or do you prefer her in the white side-string bikini?” She waves the white pair before my eyes, and all I can see is a tiny triangular patch of fabric that’s the slightest bit see-through.
           Forget the flames. I am a fucking inferno right now knowing she owns this too. White panties that reveal pretty much everything.
