About this ebook

HDTV meets Hollywood in the new hot and hilarious romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author, Lila Monroe! 

Dashing TV star Luke Rafferty is Hollywood’s newest bad boy… at least, according to the tabloids. He’s been steaming up the screens as Dr. Casanova for ten years, but thanks to his ex-wife, some tricky contract negotiations, and that incident with the stethoscope (don’t ask), he’s suddenly on an extended vacation - with his heartthrob career on the line.

Enter Stella Hartwick. 

A Hamptons local, she’s trying to get her home renovation company off the ground; winning the job for Luke’s new beachfront retreat would be her big break. And when she just happens to overhear his agent suggesting a fake relationship to give his reputation a swoon-worthy makeover, Stella sees the perfect solution to both their problems. 

What’s a little fake smooching between friend(ly professionals)?

Stella is determined to keep her eyes on the prize renovation and her hands OFF the hunky actor wandering shirtless through her construction site. But Luke has other ideas. Midnight skinny-dipping ideas. 

If only he wasn’t so heart-stompingly, panty-twistingly handsome… 

Soon, sparks are flying, and they’re both forgetting their kisses are just for show. But can this fake relationship weather a very real tabloid storm? Or will past betrayals and the Hollywood spotlight drive them apart before their romance has even begun? 

Find out in the new hot and hilarious romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Sophie Kinsella, Jasmine Guillory, Christina Lauren, and Tessa Bailey!

Ratings and reviews

Did someone call for a doctor? No?....well, you’ll need one after reading Mr. Casanova! I know I do! In true Lila Monroe fashion, Mr. Casanova checks all the boxes in a good book: sizzling chemistry, humor, playfulness, and an entirely unscripted fairytale romance. The storyline pushes the boundaries of a typical “man’s world” profession and flips the script when it comes to truth and trust. I loved this book! I know I’ve said it over and over again when it comes to the author’s books, but I just can’t help it! Every single time I fall in love with the characters, the unconventional dynamic to their relationship, and the overall spectacular writing style and emotional turmoil conveyed throughout the story. The author has an indescribable way of making readers feel embroiled in the characters, layering the storyline with passion and intrigue that explodes off the pages. Luke and Stella are quite possibly two of my favorite characters in this series. Their relationship develops easily and flows effortlessly with the story. They each need the other for completely opposite reasons. But it’s their connection and touching, emotional moments together that heightens their attraction and makes the story that much more exciting, sexy, and dreamy. Each book in the Billionaire Bachelor series gets better and better. I cannot wait for Fitz’s book. From the little sneak peek we get, I know it’ll be another must-read. Cause let’s face it…the bigger the perpetual bachelor, the harder the fall. 5 Stars!

After his two-timing, deceitful ex-wife had him thrown off the hit TV show,Heartbreak Hospital, Luke Rafferty, a.k.a Mr. Casanova leaves L.A and relocates to the Hamptons where he’s bought a rambling house that’s in serious need of a makeover. Stella wants the job and she’s willing to do just about anything to get it. Even pretend to be Luke’s new girlfriend! It’s the perfect plan and Stella knows she can make it work, she just has to convince Luke. Stella is a strong and independent woman, but she’s struggling with her business after her scheming ex-fiancé decided to take all her clients when they split up. Now he’s cutting her out of work too, and after he steals yet another job out from under her she’s about had enough. Being under the spotlight of the paparazzi isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and Stella si soon feeling the weight of their constant intrusions, but while things with Luke might have started as pretend, it didn’t take long for them to become real. These two share some scorching hot chemistry and before long, neither wants to give their fake romance up. Of course that’s when a wrench gets thrown in the works and their relationship stumbles. Will they be able to get back on track. Is there a red carpet in their future, or a long tv dinner for one? I really enjoyed this story and am eager for more. One-Click your copy today and settles down with your own Mr. Casanova.

What a great addition to what has become one of my favourite series this year.This book was so good that I really didn’t want to put it down. I loved Mr.Casanova from start to finish; it was a fabulous read, full of great moments that really brought a smile to my face. This is TV star Luke Rafferty and Stella Lane’s story and oh what a story Lila Monroe weaved. After playing Dr. Casanova for 10 years, Luke is on a forced vacation thanks to his bad boy ways and an ex wife who is a nightmare. Stella is desperate to win the building contract for Luke’s new retreat as it will get her the publicity she needs to make her company a success. . They say that eavesdroppers never hear good, but in Stella’s case it isn’t true. When she overhears Luke’s agent suggesting he gets himself a “fake” girlfriend to ward off the tabloids and appease the studio bosses, she comes up with a win/win plan in her opinion. Stella wants her business to succeed and is determined not to become involved with the hunky man but Luke has other ideas and this is where the fun really begins. The chemistry between Luke and Stella is off the charts and the line between reality and make believe soon blurs. Can their relationship based on pretence, morph into something real? Or will being in the spotlight drive them apart? In my opinion this series keeps getting better and better. One click now, you won’t be disappointed.
