The (Not So) Perfect Fiance
Ratings1
Average rating5
Home renovation has never been so complicated...or so romantic. And since when does it involve a fake fiancé?
Callie Wright has it all. The perfect guy, the perfect new job, the perfect house. Until her groom-to-be deserts her. Now she's still got the house, but the perfect fiancé? Well, he's gone and left her right before they're supposed to star in One Step at a Time, the hit home renovation reality show. The show that surprises newlyweds with their dream home has chosen Callie's house as their new fixer-upper, and when they find out that Callie's fiancé just stood her up? Well, apparently her heartbreak makes for good TV.
Faced with that sort of national humiliation, is it any wonder when Callie takes the show's hottie star up on his offer to take over the role of fiancé? She's not quite sure what's in it for him, but what does it matter? He's only a placeholder until her ex comes to his senses...right? So then, why does playing make believe feel so real? And why does he keep kissing her even when the cameras are off?

Fun, Fast, and Fluffy. This was a very light, very funny romance designed for the Hallmark Movie crowd but with elements that could draw in fans of the various home renovation shows all over TV (and even some streaming services) these days. Very fast read, without sleep catching up on me and Facebook being too addicting, I could have easily finished this book in 3 ish hrs. (As it was, I still finished in 12 - most of that asleep.) Book 2 in the series, but the main couple from the first book barely appears at all (indeed, the male half *doesn't* appear at all) and even the secondary couple in that book barely registers in this one. (The man in it is in this book for maybe one scene, the female is mostly just a convenient plot device to make introductions to other secondary characters.) In other words, can very easily be read as a stand-alone book. Not a lot of drama here, just a syrupy sweet romance where the most action even hinted at is hugs and kisses - so good for the "clean" crowd too. Given that Dallen surprised us with a brand new couple in this book, I'm very interested to see where she takes Book 3 in this series. Very much recommended.
