Publisher's summary

Staff Sergeant Austin Hall has a brilliant record in the Special Forces - except for one disastrous decision that cost his best friend's life. Now he's heading home to Chance Creek, Montana, where he'd like to spend the rest of his days in the obscurity of his family's ranch. Too bad Great Aunt Heloise won't hand the ranch over unless all four of the Hall brothers marry and one of them produces an heir within the year. Austin is too broken to marry for love, so he places an online ad for a fake wife. What could possibly go wrong?

Ella needs to leave Hollywood - fast. It's bad enough another actress stole her fiancé - on national television. Now she's ruined her comeback by decking her ex on a morning talk show. Pursued by paparazzi, Ella needs a new life, a new name, and some place to hide. When she reads Austin's ad for a stand-in wife, she knows she can act this part perfectly. To the rest of the residents of Chance Creek, they'll be a happily married couple. In private, they'll just be roommates. In a year when she's old news and the Hall brothers secure the ranch, she and Austin will quietly divorce and she'll go on her way.

Or will she? Austin's already finding it hard to remember his promise never to love again. Ella's finding it hard to keep her hands to herself. But when they're asked to make a back-up baby, Ella realizes she may have stepped into a lifetime role.

Can this pretend marriage go the distance?

The story is far fetched but sweet and romantic . The author did a nice job incorporating a true military struggle though his recovery was quick. Not the best story ever but I enjoyed it.

Recommended

This second story about the Hall brothers is far more complex than Mason & Regan's story. The characters are relatable as well as likeable. I particularly like how Ms. Seton dealt with survivers guilt and that whole aspect.

Great Series

The book moves quickly for the reader. I like the balance between joy and strife. It makes the book realistic. Absolutely LOVE the cover!

The Plot Thickens...

Book 2 continues the saga of the Hall brothers. Here, we have a broken soldier and a humiliated celebrity who believe they just need to partner up for a bit in order to achieve their goals. Of course, there will be no physical relationship, and they'll part amicably after a year of faking love in their marriage of convenience…yeah, right. Austin has some demons to exorcize, and Ella needs to re-examine her goals in life. There's some family drama/gossip that foreshadows one of the brother's upcoming adventures in the bride hunt, and I can't wait to get there.

Emily Cauldwell does a great job performing this installment. She has a good feel for how to deliver the internal musings and descriptive paragraphs as well as how to perform the various male and female voices in the dialogue. She was awesome.

Worth cash, credit, sale or Whispersynch. This is a totally fun series.
