The plot is enjoyable, the characters are well-developed, and the relationship sweet and sexy.\u00a0It\u2019s a fast-paced story that is sure to draw you.<\/p>\n When Sunny was seventeen, she was saved from an intense and scary situation. She didn\u2019t know her hero but there was an immediate spark. A connection that was severed the moment she ran.<\/p>\n I wished\u2026I wished fate would bring us together again, some other time, someother place.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fast forward three years, Sunny is a student at Leland University. She recently broke up with her boyfriend, another failed relationship with an athlete cementing her decision to stay away from jocks.<\/p>\n Max is the star quarterback and caption of the Leland University\u2019s football team. He is not the typical man whore that most of his teammates seem to be. His main focus is football and he doesn\u2019t have time for a relationship but he also doesn\u2019t want to screw around with groupies. He likes to know the women he sleeps with.<\/p>\n Then a situation occurs that puts Max in Sunny\u2019s path and once they meet, their lives change completely. Both burned by people in the past, Max and Sunny are not looking forward to seeing their exes in class on the first day of school. Pretending they moved on, together, sounded like a good way to put some distance between them and their exes and so a fake relationship is born.<\/p>\n Being in a fake relationship should be easy when you are keeping things platonic. Neither want a relationship and both are getting something from the aggreement. However, the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow making\u00a0things a lot more complicated. Before long they can’t tell what’s fake and what’s real.<\/p>\n I really enjoyed\u00a0Fake Fianc\u00e9e<\/i>. This engaging\u00a0story had me flipping pages as fast as I could from the very beginning. The characters were fun, likable, and entertaining. Max was a swoony hero who was sweet and genuinely nice. I felt his emotions and thought they were believable. I only wished he figured out his priorities sooner.<\/p>\n I really liked Sunny and thought she was a breath of fresh air. She was smart, silly, and had a fun personality.<\/p>\n His hand touched my arm, lingering down to my wrist. My heart thundered. Good grief. I was as weak as a baby kitten. She tried to fight the feelings she had for Max but sometimes the connection is just too strong and I loved when she accepted how she felt and took the next step.<\/p>\n I wanted to drown in him. I didn\u2019t need air. All I needed was Max Kent and his lips and tongue.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sunny and Max were great\u00a0as a couple. The easy banter was hilarious, their connection undeniable, and the steam off the charts. \u00a0It was fun to watch them get to know each other and see a wonderful friendship form. Their relationship\u00a0put a smile on my face and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.\u00a0I loved watching them open up to each other and the trust they built. There are ups and downs when they are together but I liked the way things played out. Though their relationship\u00a0began sweet,\u00a0gentle, and innocent, it\u00a0quickly cranked up the heat and I loved them together.<\/p>\n This story is more than just a romance, and it keeps you on your toes. Just as you feel like you have a grasp on what’s going to happen, things change. The plot takes turns that throw you completely off guard. I loved the mystery and the surprises. I loved the friendships and support systems. Overall,\u00a0Fake Fianc\u00e9e<\/i>\u00a0is another very enjoyable read by Ilsa Madden-Mills.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t understand the\u00a0<\/i>hows\u00a0and\u00a0<\/i>whys\u00a0of our meeting, but life isn\u2019t nearly as complicated as we make it. *ARC generously provided by the author and TRSOR Promotions in exchange for an honest review*<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wall Street Journal<\/em> best selling author Ilsa Madden-Mills writes about strong heroines and sexy alpha males that sometimes you just want to slap.<\/span><\/p>\n She’s addicted to all things fantasy, including unicorns and sword-wielding females.
