Description
Burke Winslow needed a wife. But he didn't have his ex, Ally, in mind for the position. (A lighthearted romantic comedy.)
Burke Winslow
stands at the altar, ready to marry his business partner in a marriage
of convenience. The minister solemnly asks: "If anyone here knows why
this man and this woman shouldn't be joined in holy matrimony, let him
speak now or forever hold his peace."
A rain-soaked, bedraggled Ally Fletcher limps down the aisle and shouts, "Stop the wedding!"
What
follows is a funny, sexy romp that proves when there's love, passion
never dies. It just smolders away until you toss gasoline on it.
Burke and Ally provide that gasoline when they find themselves locked in
a marriage of--inconvenience.
His cagey grandfather pulls
Burke's strings, and her equally cagey grandmother manipulates Ally.
Toss in a pretend boyfriend for Ally, and Burke's scorned business
partner left at the altar to make for complete chaos.
Can Burke
and Ally stop fighting long enough to peel away the layers of the past
and discover the truth about their love and passion? Will the truth free
them or put them asunder?

Advance Praise
Ally
Fletcher and Burke Winslow have a shared past, a marriage when they were
young and unprepared to handle the responsibilities of a grownup
relationship. Now Burke is getting married again, but there's a sudden
hitch to his plan. He finds himself standing at the altar,
facing a past he's never been able to forget.
Still the One is
another enjoyable read from Joan Reeves. Her hallmark
humor is very much in evidence, but as with her other stories, there's
an underlying warmth that gives her characters depth and her story
meaning. She's got me hooked! I'm now off to read Jane I'm Still Single
Jones. ~ C. Rich, Amazon Reviewer
This was a book that I enjoyed so much. It made me laugh so loud, that my family thought I'd gone completely crazy. I have read several of Joan Reeves books in the past and I have enjoyed every single one.
They are so easy
to read, that I'm positive you'll find yourself zipping through
them in no time. And by the way....they'll find a way to make you feel a
little happier and your heart a lot less heavy from your day to day
stress.~ Cindy F., Amazon Reviewer
All of her
books are great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them and can't
wait for MORE. The right amount of misunderstandings, energy, sexual
tension and naughty action to go around. ~ Kayealoha, Amazon Reviewer

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.

Still the One is a very cute romantic comedy written by author Joan Reeves. It's an entertaining story. Thanks to NetGalley and Season Publishing for the complimentary copy.

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.
This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
