Goodreads Synopsis: 

The only thing worse than being stuck in an RV with your enemy? Having to pretend you're madly in love.

Lance Blakeman is an up-and-coming literary agent with a chance to represent the biggest horror writer since Stephen King. Unfortunately, the client doesn't want to work with a bachelor. Lance needs a fiancée—fast.

Lainey Fredrickson is a struggling artist making ends meet by waitressing at a local diner. Or, she had been, until pretty boy Lance got her fired for accidentally spilling a beer on him. The way he carried on, you'd think she had deliberately doused him with radioactive waste. Now, she has exactly $4.23 to her name—not enough for an iced latte, let alone rent.

When Lance offers Lainey cash to pose as his fiancée, she can't afford to say no, even if it means spending a week in a cramped RV with him. But can they fool the client without fooling themselves? There's a fine line between love and hate. And with kisses this sweet, the line is bound to get blurred.

Not Happy Campers is a laugh-out-loud funny, clean romantic comedy with sizzling chemistry, witty banter, and spine-tingling kisses. If you love a good enemies to lovers or fake relationship story that ends with happy ever after, this book is for you!

Review: 

This cover is adorable and fully pulled me in. Overall it was a fun quick read... but the best part for me was the Corgi. 

Lainey is down on her luck because of a man named Lance. He got her fired from her last job and now she has found herslef in a situation where he will pay her to pretend to be his fiance for a week. Lance is trying to win over an author, to become his agent, and he prefers an agent that has a partner. So for Lance, this was a great ploy. Lainey needs the money, Lance needs a fiance... and now they are stuck in a camper.. with Lainey's corgi too. 

1) Loooooved the dog! throughout this story he was the best part and had characters show more emotion. sadly there was more emotion around the dog than each other. 

2) I appreciated that she was an artist. Lots of books have authors, agents but illusrators are a bit more rare. I actually read a lot of 'book agent' books in January.

3) The banter was fun but not perfect.

4) Felt like it was too-stuffy a start but loosened up as it went, sadly at less tha 200 pages there wasn't much room for them to really get into things and fall fully (at least that is how it felt to me). 

Overall, cute, and I got it for free :)
