Make-Believe Fiance

I've read several of Ms. Holt's books, and she's a good storyteller. 

This series kicks off nicely with the fake relationship trope front and center. And, of course, whenever a couple fakes being together, chances are they develop real feelings and end up confessing. 

This book is no exception. 

Strong characters, lovely settings, not enough kisses IMO. 

The one downfall, this book needs a serious edit. There were errors on almost every page and sometimes twice on a page. Maybe you could get by with that in 2018, but not now. I found around 90. 


What books do you like that use the fake relationship trope?



Take one billionaire cowboy in need of a fiancée, add one divorced teacher with trust issues and mix in a fake engagement. What could possibly go wrong?

Gwen Alder is starting over — divorced and broke, she’s come to Billings, Montana for a new beginning. But waitressing in a roadside diner for the summer isn’t paying the bills, and she finds herself in over her head with no hope of catching up.

Heath Montgomery has it all — fame, fortune and a mega-watt smile, but one thing he doesn’t have is a date for his cousin’s wedding.

When the two of them cross paths, Heath has an idea — what if he paid her to be his date? No strings, no complications, just a simple business transaction — a way to finally win his father’s trust, and get his parents off his back about settling down once and for all.

She’s poor and plain. He’s wealthy and arrogant.

They didn’t want anything more than a simple arrangement. They never planned to fall in love. But sometimes cupid has a mind of his own.
