I love the writing. This author knows her things. Worth the wait

3 Stars

I have to admit I kind of struggled with this book, there were things about it I liked ok but then there were things I really didn't like. 

I felt like this story was a little too short, the characters could have been developed more and I would have loved to know more about this couple. To me it felt a little rushed. 

There were parts of this story that I did like though, I enjoyed witnessing this couple reunite and get a chance at love and watching their relationship build was great even if they didn't start off intending for things to go the way they did. 

Overall this was an ok read but it had the potential to be a brilliant story.

Falling for the Fake Fiance is the perfect long-lost childhood friends romance. It’s has just the right amount of sweet and spicy. Jill needs a husband to fulfill her late grandmother’s restriction for her inheritance. If it wasn’t for the fact that she’s a single mother trying to get her daughter into an expensive elite school. She has two months to accomplish this goal and with no prospects in her presents, she must resort to a speed dating event that her girlfriends convince her to attend. After the disastrous event, she escapes to her hotel room only to discover her friends set her up by directing her to the wrong room. When her old childhood friend opens the door, they spend the night catching up on the last ten years. Jill sees that her friend Aaron sure grew up to be one fine looking man and the military sure worked out in his favor. Aaron finds himself entwined and invested in Jill’s dilemma. He finds himself in a rollercoaster that takes him on a ride like never before. I loved this novel so it was a 5 star read for me.

This book was hot, and snarky, and absolutely Amazing. I have read all of Jennifer Blackwood's books, and she is one of my favorite authors. I haven't found a book of hers that I didn't like. I haven't read a lot of fake marriage/ relationship stories, and this was not my first. This is, however a top pick for me. I Loved everything about this story. I wish it were longer, for the sole reason that I just didn't want it to end. This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone...but who really does that?! Why not read them both?? I LOVED the first book, and this book features the little sister of Hottie McAir Marshall! Jill was fantastic, and Aaron (Hottie Mcsoldier) was...sigh...so swoontastic! I want more!! I Am demanding a third book featuring the sister of book one's main girl, Abby. You hear that JB? Demanding! Haha, but seriously, this book was amazing, the story was hot, and the characters were fantastic. I highly recommend this book to the world! BUY IT! A "one click" read no doubt!

Lately I have been on the kick where I can’t get enough of ‘fake engagement’ type stories.  I always know how hey are going to turn out (or at least how I HOPE they’ll turn out) but I want to read everyone I come across anyway.

 

This book follows Jill and Aaron – who were neighbors in high school and possible friends.  When they randomly reconnect years later they both decide one night of fun won’t be too bad.  But the easy thing about one night stands is you don’t run into the other person, but these two get thrown together again – then Grammy’s will comes into play.  I don’t want to spoil anything so pick it up & read for yourself!

The chemistry between Aaron and Jill is pretty strong, and it makes you wonder why they didn’t end up dating in hgh school when they lived next door to each other.  Both of the characters are so relatable to the reader, you can’t just help but want them to end up together.  The supporting cast plays an important role too – even if the book focuses on Aaron and Jill.  The book isn’t a long one, and the pacing is pretty quick, so this is definitely a book you could read through in a night. And it’s a great one so it’ll be worth it 🙂

This quick read was sweet and sexy. Characters were cute, two friends helping each other out and finding love in the end. I also love the fake fiancé to real love story.

This was a really fun quick read. Slightly predictable but a fun read all the same.

A fun fake engagement story!

Jill and Aaron were friends and neighbors for years while growing up, a fact that helps this fairly short, very steamy fake-to-real romance work. Ms. Blackwood's writing gave this story the perfect blend of humor and romance--I laughed out loud nearly as much as I swooned while reading. Her characters feel real, and are likable despite their flaws (like geez, how can it take them almost a week to realize that they can't live without each other? Wink, wink...)

I've had this author on my TBR radar for quite some time now, and will definitely be using my experience with this story as an excuse to go back and check out her backlist (especially book one in this series, Snowpocalypse. Because snopocalypse...someone might as well be benefiting from an excess of snow...)

Rating: 4 stars / B+

Sometimes you need something quick, down and dirty read. Something that satisfies the desire for a HEA. Something that has heart, humor, and passion. Throw in childhood friends and second chance romance, and you have the latest offering from Jennifer Blackwood. I just love these Entangled Brazen stories. They are perfect with a good glass of wine, a comfy armchair, and your other half close by when the last page has been read.

Fiercely independent, Jill’s time is focused on rearing Emily, her daughter, providing the best education for her and a stable home. When her grandmother dies, she is heartbroken. But this quickly turns to incredulity when she finds out that her ‘Grammy’ has put a stipulation in her will that Jill will only receive her inheritance if she marries by her 30th birthday in two months time. As her friends take this challenge on board with gusto and try to set her up, Jill becomes more despondent. They mean well but she will not marry the first Tom, Dick or Harry that comes along. Gee, I felt for Jill. What an unreasonable predicament she was in. But we all know that our Grandmothers are really fairy Grandmothers, and always know what is best for us, right? Well, mine always did.

Once close friends and neighbours, Aaron and Jill’s lives could not be more different. Aaron had left immediately after graduation to enlist in the military, the attraction he felt for Jill kept hidden. Back in town to help his sick father with the family business, he is only in town for a short time. When Jill’s friends set them up for a chance meeting, all their pre-conceived ideas fly out the window. The lust and attraction are instantaneous but they both know there is no future. Aaron has a job in DC lined up and Jill has Emily’s future to consider. One night is all they allow themselves until Aaron finds out about Jill’s dilemma.

An idea is born. A fake proposal, a fake marriage, long enough for Jill to satisfy her grandmother’s wishes. What could be easier? Except when lust turns into something deeper.

Jill and Aaron certainly had chemistry. Their history together meant the connection was already there, and it blossomed and grew as they rediscovered each other. Aaron had become a rather chatty dirty talker and he liked Jill to do the same. Their lovemaking was hot and heavy, expressive and urgent, slow and sensual. Their love for each other was unmistakable, they just had to realise that for themselves, in their own time. Considering how well they communicated in the bedroom, neither one was prepared to share just how much they were falling for the other until the last minute.

This story gave me everything it promised. Jill and Aaron were a really enjoyable couple and I liked both of them individually and together. They had a great relationship and I loved the interactions with the rest of the characters, particularly Jill’s daughter and mum. For a story of fewer than 200 pages, I thought it was wrapped up nicely and the overall pace suited the length of the story. For me, it was a satisfying few hours of escapism.

Falling for the Fake Fiancé is a sweet short story between old friend Jill and Aron. So Jill lives in the same town as a single mother without personal life and barely going through a month when she is delivery another shock. If she want to inherit the money her grandmother had left her she have to get marry in less than a few month. Aron is back in town to help his father with a few loss job and what he doesn’t count one is his old friend who is still hot and after all this time he still has thing for her. Luck is on his side because this time attraction is mutual and is hot, sizzling and burning. I liked both of the characters they are well develop, likable and strong. The end is so sweet and I loved that the story flies through without unimportant pages.

Falling for the Fake Fiance by Jennifer Blackwood was a very entertaining read.

From the first few pages I was hooked, I enjoyed watching Jill and Aaron interact. They were likable characters that amused me and entertained me with their story.
They had a strong attraction and their chemistry was off the charts!

Overall, Falling for the Fake Fiance is a well written, steamy and heartwarming read and a very good addition to the Snowpocalypse series.

Jill, a single mom of a seven-year-old daughter, Emily, recently lost her grandmother, but it seems Grammy still has plans for her. Yes, she left Jill something in the will, however, there's a catch. Jill has to be married before her thirtieth birthday...in two months.

With some not so subtle prodding from Kate, one of Jill's best friend, they, along with Mia, another best friend, attend a singles event. Kate is sure Jill can find a solution there, and when an old classmate, Aaron, makes an appearance, Jill finds herself caught up in Kate's matchmaking.

Aaron has recently left the Army and is helping his dad, who is ill, complete a construction job prior to starting his own new one in D.C. with a private security company. When he sees Kate and learns Jill is there too, he doesn't hesitate to take a chance to spend more time with Jill. They may have run in different crowds in high school, Aaron being a jock yet too shy to ask girls out, including his crush, Jill, but as they were neighbors, they were always close friends.

They haven't seen each other in years, Aaron enlisting right after graduation and his visits home never coinciding with Jill being there. But right now, they are definitely appreciating the changes time has made, both having difficulty not visually, and mentally, devouring the other. Aaron doesn't understand why a woman as gorgeous and funny as Jill is attending a social event to find a date. A wonderful time over dinner, complete with intense chemistry, leads to them agreeing to enjoy the night completely. But their one night turns into more due to the unexpected feelings their encounter evoked, the magic they created together, and their willingness to continue their adventures until Aaron leaves. When he learns of her situation though, he begins seeing the bigger picture, and not liking the thought of her with another man, surprises himself when he blurts out the obvious solution.

“I want to do this for you, Jill. Let me take care of you.” - Aaron

What happens when their feelings become real, more than a friendship? Can they keep their marriage a secret, aside from telling the lawyer? How will their families react to the news? Will they go through with the plan? Or will Jill let Aaron go, believing it's the best decision for him? Will Aaron fight for Jill? What about his job? Is the marriage still only temporary, or are they looking at forever?

One-click now and follow along as two long-time friends, though they haven't seen each other in year, make an arrangement, a win-win agreement, that becomes so much more. I'm looking forward to stories for Kate and Mia, as well as Sam, Aaron's friend. I'm hoping Sam finds happiness with one of Jill's friends.

I enjoy Jennifer Blackwood, and I enjoyed this overall.

The plot was a little predictable, but that is the way it often is in romance, as there are the expectations of a story that will follow a certain pattern, and have an expected ending, and that is ok.  What matters is the ride getting to that expected end.  This was a fun ride, even though the topic/situation they find themselves in isn't the most original, I found I didn't care, because I was enjoying it overall.

Jill and Aaron had wonderful chemistry and I enjoyed them together, I thought they worked well, and you believed the instant attraction as they had grown up together, so they were not total strangers, even though life had led them in different directions.  I liked this, and I think it helps with the ability to believe the events of the story.

I enjoy Jennifer Blackwood, and I was hoping to like this one as much as I did the first in the Snowpocalypse series, which I didn't...but I enjoyed it, it was well written, it was enjoyable, and I liked the characters.

I do recommend this title.
