One Week Girlfriend (Drew + Fable, #1) - Monica Murphy

One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second book this week that had the Pretty Woman theme. Loved it though. I was really connected to both of the characters. I loved how Fable was as strong as they come. She has been dealt a shitty hand. The caregiver for her brother and alcoholic mother. She has had to sacrifice so much. She works at a bar and couldn't go to college because she needed to make sure her brother was cared for and fed. She was approached by the hot football star rich boy who had it all, Drew Callahan. Little did she know he was more broken than she was. Thinking money could buy you happiness and all the clichés she fed into. Drew and Fable crossed paths only at the bar. Drew was a rich handsome guy who could have any girl. Fable was the poor townie. Drew approached Fable to be his pretend girlfriend for a week over Thanksgiving. He paid her $3,000 and all she would have to do is be a pretend girlfriend. Easy enough right? $3k was a lot to Fable and would help out tremendously. Fable decided to go on this adventure, but tell her brother something different. She couldn't let him know what she was doing. As for telling her mother, she didn't have to tell her anything. She wouldn't even notice she was gone. Drew and Fable arrived at his mansion. He hated coming home and especially this time of year. Drew was full of secrets Fable was beginning to realize. She thought he had his life put together, but she soon realizes he doesn't. After meeting Drew's screwed up family, she learned quickly money will not buy everyone happiness. There was so much bitterness in the air when first meeting Adele, the stepmother and Drew's father. Drew doesn't want to let Fable in. She is a strong h and is very persistent. After several days, they finally start opening up to each other. Drew is far more damaged than Fable originally thought. Drew has a lot of skeletons in his closet, some he doesn't even know about. You will have to read the story to find out what those are and how and if they overcome it. I loved this story. Drew and Fable were so easy to love. I'm ready to read book 2, but needed to get this review done otherwise I would forget which book held what. Happy Reading!
