About THE ALMOST ROMANTIC:
Fake engagement. Real marriage. Both have an expiration date...


"Marry me."
They were the last words I expected to say to my fake fiancé, but I'm the kind of guy who doesn't back down from a challenge. Pretend I'm engaged to my gorgeous and talented business partner to secure a business deal?
No problem.
Agree to a no-touch rule even though she's been driving me wild since I met her?
Challenge accepted.
Resist grinning like a damn fool every time that same big-hearted, sunshine-y woman laughs with my little daughter?
Done.
So, yeah, when my fake fiancé's vindictive business rival threatens to expose our make-believe romance, I can handle that too.
I'll prove our engagement isn't fake - by marrying her for real.
A marriage with an expiration date at the end of the year.
But that's when I run smack dab into the biggest challenge ever - not falling madly in love with my wife.

MY REVIEW

Elodie cannot take her eyes off the hot bartender, and it seems he's feeling the same. Or perhaps not, because he never comes back to flirt more before her food arrives, so she takes herself back to her chocolate shop, bummed that she'll never get the chance to make goo goo eyes again with him. But then who comes strolling through her doors with the package she had thought was lost, but Gage, hot bartender himself. And he's asking her out, flirting more, and orders a grand collection of her chocolate...


Gage knows better than to ask out a customer, but there's something so fun, so sparkly about her, that he can't help but be drawn to her. But still, it's just a date he's asked for, nothing more than that. Even when they become business partners, then actual partners through a marriage of convenience, he can't let himself focus on the feelings he's developing. They have rules in this marriage of convenience, ones they can't break. Until they do...


I knew from their very first flirtatious words, that these two were going to make me fall in love with them, and boy did they! The sparks were zinging everywhere from their first exchange at the bar, and then when he came to her shop and very flirtatiously delivered her package and asked her out? Oh boy, I was a goner, and so were they. But not only were they delicious and fun, they have so much strength of character, and such beautiful hearts. She's a spark of brightness, and a strength she maybe isn't even aware of, considering how her parents' treatment of her had given her very wrong misconceptions of herself. Gage is really the perfect partner, both in life and in business, for her. They're both single parents raising precocious, strong-willed kids, they need focus and strength to run their own businesses, and most importantly, they quickly realize their convenient marriage is real, and they don't do anything stupid like miscommunicate to mess it up. Heartfelt, delicious chemistry, a marriage of convenience turned real, two adorable kids, Gage and Elodie make a fabulous found family, and they have me all impatient for Monroe's story next!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
