Just Say Yes! Confirmed bachelor Dr. Marcos Calderon is in hot water. He needs to come up with a fake fiancée fast or he’ll disappoint his beloved grandma who’s arriving on the next flight to meet her. Proper social worker Gabriela Morales should fit the bill—but tonight, in that sexy, slit-to-there red evening gown, she looks anything but proper.
Gabriela only volunteered for the hospital’s charity bachelorette auction to benefit a cause dear to her heart. Now she’s reeling from the hot doctor’s bid of fifteen thousand dollars for a weekend date with her! She’s not sure what Dr. Handsome has in mind, but the smoldering look in his eyes is unmistakable…

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

This is what happens when antagonism turns into hot-blooded lust. What starts as a seemingly innocent lie to make an old woman happy turns into raging lust, one snealy old woman and a know it all doctor who finally gets a taste of his own medicine.

Marcos is a control freak whereas Gabriella is an independent woman with a chip on her shoulder. Marcos and Gabriella have what, at best, can be a considered professional antagonistic relationship. She believes he is cocky, too self confident and has a sense of entitlement because of the silver spoon he was born with. He believes she gets too emotionally involved with the patients and cannot separate her personal and professional lives. However, one look at Gabriella dressed to impress for the charity bachelorette auction and Marcos knows she’s the perfect candidate to play the part of his fake fiancé when his abuelita comes to visit.

As much as I enjoyed Marcos and Gabriella, I have to admit that Abuelita Coqui was by far my favorite character. She drinks, she swears, smokes cigars and concocts schemes worthy of Latin grandmas everywhere.

I can’t picture two characters more made for each other than Marcos and Gabriella. I loved that she wasn’t cowered at all by him, but gave as good as she got. This hot Latina was exactly what the doctor ordered! A very light, fun read, this is perfect if you’re looking for something sweet and uncomplicated with a lot of heart.
