His fake fiancée?

Artist Holly Motta arrives in New York to make a new start…only to find billionaire Ethan Benton occupying the apartment where she is meant to be staying! But there's another surprise in store… Ethan needs a fake fiancée—fast!—and he wants her to fill the role!

But Ethan's got no intention of trusting any woman with his heart. Until he lets beautiful Holly into his world…and discovers she is the only woman he'd really like to make his wife!

I really enjoyed Andrea Bolter’s debut Harlequin! It’s a fast and easy read and catches your attention from the beginning. The couple has a cute connection where they really hit it off and have a good time conversing with each other before they ever even know that they will be more than just passing ships in the night. There’s kind of a Pretty Woman vibe going on (without the hooker aspect!) that is a lot of fun to read. Looking forward to more from this author!

Holly Matta has decided to set off on her own and finally try to live life for herself and try to accomplish her dreams. She had a difficult childhood and made some not so great decisions in her adult life so far, so she really just wants a do-over. When she shows up at the apartment she’s supposed to be staying in short-term in NY, there’s already someone there!

Billionaire Ethan Benton thinks it just might be his lucky day when he accidentally comes across an ideal candidate for the fake fiance he needs in a hurry! Will promises to compensate her enough to get a solid footing to her new life be enough to persuade Holly to play the part?

The perfect summer escape?

Professional dog-walker Felicity Knight loves everything about New York…until her ex-husband starts working at her local vet clinic. She hasn't seen Seth Carlyle in ten years, but one glimpse of him—too gorgeous, and still too good for her—and Fliss's heart hurts like their whirlwind marriage ended yesterday. So when her grandmother in the Hamptons needs help for the summer, it seems the ideal way to escape her past.

Their relationship might have lasted only a few scorching months, but vet Seth knows Fliss—if she's run away to the Hamptons, it's because she still feels their connection and it terrifies her. He let her go once before, when he didn't know any better, but not this summer! With the help of his adorable dog, Lulu, and a sprinkling of beachside magic, Seth is determined to make Fliss see that he's never stopped loving her…

A delightful read perfect for a lazy day on the beach!  A short-lived whirlwind of a marriage when they were young left Felicity Knight and Seth Carlyle guarding their wounded hearts as they each went on with their own lives. Lack of communication doomed them before they even began. This is a sweet, yet somewhat frustrating reunion. Seth was easy to love, and Fliss was easy to sympathize with, but I still found myself wanting to shake some sense into her a couple of times. 🙂

A decade has passed since Fliss and Seth were married. They barely had time to blink before it was all over and they were living separate lives. Now she’s a professional dog walker, and he’s a veterinarian who is crossing her path again. Will they finally be able say the things they left unsaid and have a little peace from the end of their relationship? And when old feelings flare up, will they decide they were worth a second chance?
