📘Book Info

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance.

What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser?

You make up the perfect fiancé, of course.

I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out.

In my family, everyone is someone.

But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future.

At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact.

So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too.

Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy.

My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first.

He’s the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert.

But I can’t deny that he’s tall, strong, and hot.

I know it’s a risk, but I’m determined to show my family that I’m just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who’s totally not my type.

I’m ready to give the performance of a lifetime.

💭Our Thoughts
"The thing about life is that you have to embrace it for yourself. "

Our sweet librarian Sutton has a problem - she needs a fiance, quick
Who better to fill that role than one of the smexy hot as sin, highly mysterious temporary town bachelors

AKA
River

River accepts her proposal under slight duress and with his own stipulations
He decides to go all in
If you are going to play a part you should submerse yourself in it
Right?
Pretty soon he finds he gets a lot more than the friends with bennies situation he was looking for

"You did. I was so flustered and in gratitude, I might've pulled you into a kiss"

I am not even sure how to properly put into words the smoking-hot chemistry and dynamics
that occurs between these two
River brings out the lioness in Sutton
While Sutton brought out River's softer side

River is starting to see his brothers in a different light
There is so much more going on behind the scenes here

I was all kinds of giddy when Sutton took out the toxic trash that was her family
I don't think I would have even given her a second chance

I felt like this was such a short read - it wasn't- but this town and its residents are just so much fun and the time passes so quickly when I am with them

This is the second book in the series and a must-read for anyone who enjoys small town smexy friends to lovers romance with light angst and lots of laughs
