My Book Summary : Lucinda (Lucy or Luce) has just walked in on her, now ex, fiancé lip-locked and doing a whole lot more with his ex-girlfriend inside the church they were just about to get married in. Now completely upset especially with what her father says about it she runs off, after telling her now ex-fiancé that it's definitely over between them. Trying to get as many miles between her and her ex as possible, she comes to another upset when her vehicle decides to break down on her while on the highway and she has no way to get help.
Thankfully a great looking guy, Jake, just happens to stop by to see if he can do anything. However, he recognizes her, though unbeknownst to her not just for her heiress reputation but for what he was battling with Lucy's father through his law firm. Even though Jake has a background with her family, he helps her out.
Soon though, helping her out becomes into something more when their attraction comes into play, and he asks her to help him out, during her week off. Lucy agrees, as she decides to pretend to be Jake's fiancée for his family. Since he's not ready to settle down, but his family really wants to see him married off, and with his grandmother Hattie getting up there in age, about 89-years-old, he can't seem to deny them anymore.
However, after one 'little white lie' grows into two, and more, once other people try to come between them. Also, with the time between them almost ending will their hearts be safe from each other once this is over and would they be willing to make their lie come true?? Or will they just say goodbye and let their pride get in the way of what could be love??
My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! Jake and Lucy are a sweet, funny, and caring couple, who I couldn't get enough of!! They made a great pair that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about!!
The only thing that I didn't like was when it seemed things were working out the next day Lucy would take two steps back. Very annoying to say the least.
Otherwise, Jake and his family (and friends) really saved this story into one I could not get enough of and, of course, the chemistry between Jake and Lucy (when they were 'on') flew off the page! This is a great novel for someone looking for a romance that has a lot of drama and layers to it! =0)
Book Teaser(s) :
Lucinda Darling spelled trouble with a capital T.
He hadn’t lied to her. He had brought strays home before. A few of them had even been the two-legged variety. But they’d been guys. Friends who had needed a place to park for a day or two, usually while the women in their lives cooled off. Forgave them for whatever transgression they’d committed.
What he had here, though, was a stray who would tempt a saint. And he sure as heck had never claimed to be that.
On top of that, regardless of who her father was, she was a hurt and very vulnerable stray.
He’d be a heel to try anything with her.
That kiss had been over the line.
He wished he could regret it. He didn’t. ~ within Chapter 5
