Still the One is a cute, short, second chance romance.

Burke and Tiffany's company is hoping to land a deal with an ultra conservative Japanese company. In order to make it work, Burke and Tiffany need to be married-not just co-owners. They decide they will marry for the sake of the business, but the wedding never takes place because Burke's ex shows up and stops the wedding.

Now what to do?? Burke's grandfather suggests saving his company by having Ally pose as his wife for the business deal to go through. Ally of course, is reluctant. She was just there to have him sign the original divorce papers anyway. The grandfather puts a massive guilt trip on her and Ally relents. She agrees to do this for two weeks. You can guess how things go from there!

I love these types of books because the arrangements never go as planned is and this is what happens here! Being in close proximity to each other brings up old feelings both thought were buried. Soon things come to a head and they are in bed. Can they find a way to wade through all the baggage these two bring to the table and find a happy ending?? I enjoyed finding out if they could.

A enjoyable comical romance about marriage of convenience gone awry. The chemistry between Burke and Ally is combustible enough to ignite the pages...yet their misunderstandings of cross purposes were what brought the comedy to their second chance at marriage. From the first page you’ll be intrigued by Ally’s intent, but will be laughing as the combinations of misfortunes she encounters sets the tone for the story.

There were instances that I’d have liked to have delved further into though, i.e. what Mrs Henry wanted to say to Ally at the cocktail party...even though you as the reader are pretty sure what that was, having it brought to light with the reason why would have added much to the cross purpose that was contrived to derail Burke and Ally’s second chance at marriage, but there were delightful surprises that added to the intrigue used to bring them back together.

Still the One is a cute second chance romance.

Burke and Tiffany's company is hoping to close a deal with a Japanese company, but in order to do that, Burke and Tiffany need to be married to each other, not just be co-owners. The company they're hoping to do business with is ultra traditional, and having unmarried men and women be business partners is just not done. So, Tiffany came up with the idea for the two of them to get married, but only for the business' sake. But, as they're about to tie the knot, lo and behold, but Burke's ex wife comes running down the aisle looking like a drowned rat, saying to stop the wedding...Oops!

Since Ally chased Tiffany off, Burke, with the oh so innocent help of his grandfather, Frederick, comes up with the brilliant idea for Ally to pose as his wife in order for his company to save their business deal. Ally isn't having any of it at first, knowing she's just there to ask Burke to sign the divorce papers she forgot to send to him all those years ago. But, when Burke's grandfather lays an epic guilt trip on her, she caves, and agrees to live in his guest house for the next two weeks, just long enough for the deal to go through.

Of course, you know things can't possibly be as cut and dried as that arrangement, and soon, they're playing cat and mouse games of jealousy and trying to keep the other off their minds, and trying not to fall in bed with each other. Of course they don't succeed and of course their feelings come back, but will Burke be able to make up for his ridiculous statement he made after their first reunion in bed? Will he be able to convince her he loves her, and not just because he's trying to outdo her best friend, the man he thought was her lover?

If you're in the mood for something cute and light, Still the One is the story for you. Just don't come into it thinking it's some epic romantic tale of second chances and gobs of sexy times and alpha males and all that, because Still the One is not that. It's cute, it's fun and it's about as deep as a puddle. But, it's entertaining and good for about an hour of your time if you're so inclined.
