“You want me to find you a wife?
“No. I want you to be my wife.”

Will he get more than he bargained for?

Garrett Song is this close to taking the reins of his family’s LA fashion empire…until the Song matriarch insists he marry her handpicked bride first. To block her matchmaking, he recruits Natalie Sobol to pose as his wife. She needs a fake spouse as badly as he does. But when passion burns down their chaste agreement, the flames could destroy them all…

 

Great characters, a beguiling story line and chemistry galore! With her debut novel TEMPORARY WIFE TEMPTATION, Jayci Lee turns on the feels with the first book in The Heirs of Hansol series with Harlequin Desire. Her cast of characters are not only successful and culturally rich, but also filled with emotional back stories that hook a reader quickly to their plights.

Garrett Song is easy to like from the start. He loves and respects his grandmother, but more than anything, he wants to finally be in charge of the family empire and moving things in the direction he feels will benefit the times the most. He isn’t looking to settle down, but when his grandmother names a woman she plans for him to marry, he has to get a little creative to put the ball back into his court.

Natalie Sobol is delightful. She’s hardworking, has a softer side when she wants to but takes no gruff when dealing with the business world. She has her own reason for seeing an advantage to becoming Garrett’s temporary bride … but fake becomes all too real when close quarters lead to an attraction too strong to ignore!

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a yummy marriage of convenience story that ends with a beloved happily ever after. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series and especially for more to come from this new author.

He believes in fate…

Here’s my plan: Crash through the ceiling of my family’s business to become the best hotelier on the West Coast. Nothing rattles me when it comes to a challenge and hard work, but when I spot my almost one-night-stand in my lobby, I’m thrown totally off my game. Alejandra is my dream girl. The one I can’t forget who got away – literally. Which might explain why I blurt out to my meddlesome, matchmaking grandmother that Alejandra is my date for her fast approaching and highly choreographed eightieth birthday party.

She’s been on pause…

Some decisions are harder than others, but agreeing to a date with Drew isn’t one of them. He’s a charming and gorgeous curveball I didn’t see coming, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember to play it safe. I’ve made a promise, and even though I’m now torn: I have to honor it in order to move on from the past. Drew feels like my future, but I’m about to put everything I want in jeopardy.

 

Steamy, heartwarming and laugh out loud funny all rolled into one highly enjoyable read! With the third book in her delectable American Royalty series Robin Bielman delights her reader with a tempting story. The story line nabbed my attention immediately, the characters are down-to-earth and delightful and the passion is off the charts. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more!

I adored Drew’s relationship with his feisty grandmother! The youngest Auprince has met his match with the one that got away. Drew was drawn to a woman in a bar one night and was hoping for a steamy hook-up, but when she slipped away into the night, he was left wistful for months to come … until he sees her across the lobby of his hotel months later!

Alejandra was emotionally torn throughout the book with her past, her present and her future, and it brought a wistful touch to her. Even though she was falling hard, she held true to herself, her beliefs and her promises. I really enjoyed her story.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a passion filled journey towards that beloved happily ever after with a lot of laughs, heartfelt feelings and temptation along the way.

Excerpt

“Is it okay if I take this seat?” a man asks. The masculine voice is deep, seductive. Friendly.

That’s what resonates deep inside me, and I don’t have to think twice about my answer. I also don’t have to turn my head to know who’s asking. “Sure.”

“I’m Drew,” he says as he gets comfortable beside me.

I take a moment to breathe in his clean, spicy scent before I look at him. “Alejandra.” “It’s nice to meet you, Alejandra.”

“You, too.” Up close, he’s even better-looking. Eyes a shade of blue-green I’ve never

seen before, neat hair longer on top than the sides, broad shoulders that fill out his tailored suit coat. I’d venture his outfit cost more than my monthly mortgage.

He notices my glass of water and waves a hand at the bartender. A thick black watch peeks out from his sleeve. His hand is big, capable-looking. “Can I buy you a drink?”

With the way my pulse is racing, he absolutely can. I may need several to calm my nerves. “I think I saw a blood orange margarita on the menu.”

“Good choice.”

“Hey, Drew,” the bartender says. “What can I get you?”

“Two blood orange margaritas, please. On the rocks.”

“You got it.” He drops a cocktail napkin in front of Drew and one in front of me. “You seem to know a lot of people,” I say.

“A few. What about you?”

“I’m here with my sister and two friends. They’re on the dance floor.”

“It’s lucky I got to you before someone else, then.”

I can’t get my head down. It’s a good thing my light brown skin doesn’t give away my blush easily. Are there other people here? All of a sudden it doesn’t feel like it.

“Looks like you took one for the team,” he says next.

“What?” His knee taps mine as he swivels and nods to my boot.

Oh, that. I grin. What a nice way to put it. Not only is Drew the hottest-looking man in this bar, but he’s decided I’m caring rather than klutzy, something no stranger has done in the five weeks I’ve been injured. “Team captain right here,” I say.

“Your T-shirts have a ‘W’ on them, don’t they?”

It takes me a second to follow his train of thought. Wonder Woman. “Laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?” I tease.

He smiles and I’m hit not only with flirty intensity, but sincerity, too. He might be coming on strong, but his compliment is genuine. “Is it working?”
