GRR Reviews All Or Nothing (The Coxwells Book 4) by Deborah Cooke

All Or Nothing is a fake boyfriend to real love romance, with some sitcom-worthy moments.

Jen Maitland needed a fake BF to delay her mom's matchmaking schemes, but not a real BF because she was jilted by her ex-fiancee. She picked Zach Coxwell, a commitment-phobe who enjoys a challenge. Zach is definitely getting mixed signals from Jen the bar waitress, who turned him down for a date but invited him to family Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner went into an absolute disaster for Jen when one of her sisters offer to have Zach's child plus other embarrassments, but Zach's jokes managed to get Jen to crack a smile even as he had a time of his life. Zach may have found the one girl to make him change his ways, but can he convince her that he's sincere?

The characters are nicely drawn, though the trope about having a rake as a boyfriend and she happen to be the one woman to have him reform seems a bit... cliche. It's the family stuff that made this novel above average.
