Publisher's summary

A pretend relationship...within a pretend relationship.

Attorney Evan Stone knows every crazy stipulation in billionaire Rudy Carmichael’s will. After all, he wrote it. And he’s determined to make sure each one is fully met by Rudy’s triplet daughters. Even if that means dating the workaholic CEO, Ava. Or pretending to at least. And even if it means resisting the so-right-for-him-she’s-totally-wrong party girl, Cori.

Cori’s only got three things on her to do list from her dad:

• Move to Bliss, Kansas.
• Run his pie shop with her sisters for a year.
• No dating. For six months.

But stepping in for her sister when it’s clear that Ava and Evan aren’t fooling anyone with their "romance" isn’t really dating. And falling for her sister’s pretend boyfriend while pretending to be her sister...well, that’s ridiculous. No matter how real things feel whenever she and Evan are together.

Love and laughs in a small town

I loved Cori and Evan’s fake relationship, wacky will requirements, fish out of water romance. This is a heartwarming, hilarious and steamy romance full of lovable and relatable characters. I have a soft spot for the people who are a bit uncomfortable in their skin because they don’t feel like they fit in or are worthy, like Cori and Evan. So I love when they finally see their truth and they get swoon worthy HEAs. Cori is a triplet from an Uber wealthy NYC family. Cori is the fun and “flighty” sister. When Cori’s estranged father dies, his will requires the sisters to live in a small town Bliss Kansas for a year, run a pie shop for a profit, and do specific jobs that are not in their wheelhouse. Cori has to run the business side of the pie shop and not date for 6 months. Evan is the lawyer from Bliss who drafted the will and is tasked with making sure the requirements are met. Evan and Cori have instant chemistry and connection but due to the requirements, Evan proposes fake dating Cori’s sister, Ava. Of course things get messy quickly and the pair have trouble fighting their growing overwhelming connection. To get to their HEA, they’ll have to adhere to the will’s requirements without destroying their connection. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline with sweet moments, steamy scenes, laughs, supportive friends, messy families, painful pasts, quirky townspeople, and all the love. I am excited to read the next sister’s love story.

Summer Roberts and Tyler Donne did a great job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Cute....but!

A bizarre “trust” (will) throws the triplet women’s lives into small town chaos, along with the lives of three men.... as a result this is 1/3 of the story that is being told. It’s a quirky cute sexy one third, and I enjoyed it. I just hate that it would take three credits to get the whole story.....

Blindsided by love!

Triplet sisters, Ava, Brynn & Cori, get a surprise when their father passes away. In order for the sisters to inherit millions, they must first run a pie shop in a tiny town in IL. There are other stipulations to the will that make this story very interesting. The story revolves around Cori, who has to stay away from relationships for 6mos, and her attraction to attorney, Evan. Evan has to pretend-date Ava...except he’s interested in Cori. Throw in small town gossips, Evan’s exes and best friends...and we have quite an interesting tale.
