A Billion Times No by Kenzie ReedMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Daisy Abernathy is a personal assistant to Chase Lancaster. She is beyond miserable and works all the time. She is finally taking a vacation to go back home to attend the wedding of her former fiance to her distant cousin. The cousin that her fiance cheated on with. Before she can get out of the office Chase comes back in unexpectedly and tries to delay her vacation. She ends up leaving with the words that she may not be returning.
Daisy has no intentions of attending this wedding alone and hires an escort. Unknown to her Chase shows up and pays off the escort and takes their place. To save face she allows Chase to be her pretend boyfriend and their story takes off from there.
The banter between Daisy and Chase is absolutely great! Daisy's grandma reminds me so much of my own grandma. She won't behave at all. She always says 'what's the fun in that'.
There is also some good bantering going on between Daisy and her sister, Callie. When Callie tells her to "Kiss my grits" as it is the only bad thing that wouldn't get them in trouble with their mom it took me my right to my Alice sitcom watching days. I was also amused by the way they used their wordplay to get their messages across. such as 'Shut your cakehole, Leave-a-Person.".
It was also funny how the whole town was watching out for Daisy's virtue and making sure Chase and she wasn't given too much alone time.
There were many, many laugh out loud moments in this book. The only part I didn't like about this book is the fact that Callie and their mom seemed to exclude Daisy and make her feel like she wasn't part of the family when it mattered most. Though in the end, her champion took care of that.
This is a great book!
