Danielle and Wes have been best friends since college, so when Wes needs a date for his sister’s wedding and Dani needs a partner for her company’s retreat, they devise the perfect plan: a fake engagement to get through both events unscathed. Adrenaline-junkie Wes can prove to both his ex and his family that he’s well and truly moved on, and serious-minded Dani can prove to her boss that she’s worthy of the promotion he seems to only want to give to a family-oriented employee.
But amid the fake swoons, fake kisses, and forced proximity, neither expects the very real feelings that develop. There’s nothing more dangerous than falling for your best friend…but what if the landing is worth the fall?

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this!
What I loved: Finally, a fake-romance-that-turns-into-something-real that is believable! There's nothing more frustrating than reading a story about near strangers who pretend to be engaged and end up falling in love. Dani and Wes are complex yet relateable characters who have been friends forever so it's completely understandable that they would finally realize they're good together. However, it wouldn't make for a good story if there weren't obstacles and insecurities to overcome and even then there's no guarantee these two will end up together. Regardless, five bucks says Dani and Wes' journey will make you laugh and it may make you cry too. ;) The romance is swoonworthy without being graphic which I appreciated.
What left me wanting: I wanted to know what happened with the museum or Vegas?! ;)
Final Verdict: Refreshing romance!
About the Author:
Cindi Madsen sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she’d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children.
I'm 25% into this one but put it aside for the Eve trilogy. I need to go back and read it, but it was slow starting for me. Good to see you liked it--I'll have to finish it!
