BOOK REVIEW- TROPHY HUSBAND by Lauren Blakely

Trophy Husband (Caught Up in Love Book 3) by [Blakely, Lauren]

Sometimes you can't help falling in love, even when you try to do the opposite...
Successful fashion blogger McKenna Bell has spent far too long protecting herself after the way her ex-fiancĂ© left her at the altar for a college chick he met the night of his bachelor party. Loving again, trusting again, well, that's just not in the cards. Especially now that her ex is back in town with his new woman, demanding custody of McKenna's favorite creature in the whole world--her dog. No effing way. McKenna's had enough of him, and she decides to even the score by finding her own hot young thing -- a Trophy Husband. Sure, she's only twenty-seven, but doesn't that make it even more fun -- and infuriating to her ex -- to pursue a younger man? When she declares her intentions on her daily blog, her quest quickly skyrockets in popularity, and that's when Chris enters the picture, and he's got all the assets. He's handsome, successful, and turns her inside out with a kiss to end all kisses, the kind that makes you feel like a shooting star. But loving again could mean losing again, and it's so much easier to focus on getting even, isn't it? Unless, you just can't help falling in love. Which means McKenna will have to come face to face with what she really wants in life -- protecting her heart from hurt, or letting go of her fears of a new beginning. AMAZON 3 STAR

Although I liked the idea and I did like McKenna and her friends, this book just wasn't entirely my cup of tea.  Chris was a good guy though and I did like the way they were able to have witty conversations and an ease of companionship.  The story was flirty and a bit flaky at times because McKenna was a fun girl with some serious hurts.  Her ex was one selfish, entitled kind of guy without an ounce of remorse for how he treated her.  Some of those ways kept giving her problems even though they weren't even together anymore.  I felt like he just couldn't let her go although he had a good life and didn't want her.  He just wanted to make sure he could "steal" as much from her as he could.  And wow, was he petty.    That said, it just felt at times kind of high school in some of the way things came across.  
There is a H.E.A and no cliffhangers to the story so that is a plus too.
