by Stacey Lynn

This marriage is strictly business... until the temptation gets way too real.
Corbin:
I loved my grandma, but I don’t need her money. All I care about is keeping the house — the only place that’s ever felt like home. That, and screwing over my dad, who wants to turn the property into a mall. There’s only one catch: To receive my inheritance, I have to get married within
This marriage is strictly business... until the temptation gets way too real.
Corbin:
I loved my grandma, but I don’t need her money. All I care about is keeping the house — the only place that’s ever felt like home. That, and screwing over my dad, who wants to turn the property into a mall. There’s only one catch: To receive my inheritance, I have to get married within six months. Me, the guy who’s never dated a girl for more than six minutes . Now I need to find a woman I can trust. So when I’m rear-ended by a Prius, I figure it’s a sign that I’m supposed to meet gorgeous, down-to-earth Teagan Monroe.
Teagan:
First I lose my job. Then I come home and find out — in the most graphic way possible... yeah, that way — that my boyfriend is a cheating jerk. And then I speed off and nearly kill Portland’s sexiest bachelor. Corbin Lane should be pissed. Instead, he offers me more money than I’ve ever seen in my life to marry him and live together in a mansion for two years. No sex. No feelings. Just cash — enough to make all my dreams come true. Then we go and break all our rules... and I realize I’m falling in love with my fake fiancé.

DNF at 55% I couldn't connect with the characters and their relationship because the heroine literally just got out of a long-term relationship a few hours before meeting the hero. She said she loved her ex-boyfriend, so I just wasn't convinced she'd fall so easily for a different person that fast. I also didn't like the hero. He acted mean and cold to the heroine whenever he wanted to distance himself because he didn't want to act on his lust. It's like a hot-cold situation with this man. He also

Fake Wife was a quick OK read for me. There wasn't anything about it that really drew me in nor was there anything that I really disliked about the book. It had some good characters with a mediocre story. There wasn't a lot happening. There is some family dysfunction, a lot of back and forth, and of course the famous miscommunication. We also have the ex who pops up in random places. In the end I was expecting more and I got less. Happy reading dolls! xx **I RECIEVED AN ARC FROM NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.**

4 Nothing Fake About it Stars To say Teagan Monroe has had a crappy day would be the understatement of the century. Being laid off from the job she loves would be bad enough, but Teagan gets an even bigger shock to her already overwrought system when she comes home early to find her boyfriend of seven years playing hide the salami with a naked blonde.

4 Nothing Fake About it Stars To say Teagan Monroe has had a crappy day would be the understatement of the century. Being laid off from the job she loves would be bad enough, but Teagan gets an even bigger shock to her already overwrought system when she comes home early to find her boyfriend of seven years playing hide the salami with a naked blonde. Suddenly homeless and jobless, what else could possibly go wrong for our gal Teagan? Despite the fact Corbin Lane grew up wealthy and in the limelight, the only real love and support he got from his family came from his grandmother. When she dies and leaves him the only thing he’s ever wanted, the family home, he’s thrilled. Until he finds out that in order to have the home transferred to him and not his jackass of a father, he must marry and stay married for no less than two years. Since Corbin’s sworn off long term relationships, just how in the hell is he going to find a woman he can not only put up with for two years, but also trust to keep the details of their arrangement a secret? When a distracted Teagan introduces her moving Prius to Corbin’s much flashier Mercedes, she’s sure things can’t get any worse. Buckle up sweetie, ‘cause our man Corbin has a two year plan that may be just the thing for you. I can’t tell you how pleasantly surprised I was by this book. Even though I love a good fake romance story (I’m a sucker for all of those overused tropes, doncha know) I went into this with some fairly low expectations. While Fake Wife will never be considered ground breaking, I found myself falling in love with this couple. Both have been hurt by past relationships, but when they started falling for each other it didn’t seem to matter. They knew they shouldn’t actually do the unthinkable, fall in love with their contracted fiancé, but the more time they spent together, the stronger the pull became.
He’s just shown me a vision of a life, of everything I’ve wanted. A simple life. A good one. And it will only be mine temporarily.
Just a warning, the instalove is so very strong with this one. If that’s an issue for you, this may not be your book. Corbin and Teagan are awesome characters, both together and apart, and I’m glad I gave their story a chance. This is my first Stacey Lynn book but it most definitely won’t be my last.

DNF @ 54% I wasn’t felling it. It was way too instalove for me. The H was supposed to be this “playboy” type guy that never settles down but he is almost instantly in love with the h (probably a little exaggeration 🙄) and not in a good way. I didn’t ever feel their connection even though both of them were confessing some deep feelings after not many interactions or time. I also never connected with either character.

I feel like it was topical...if that makes sense. I felt like I was being told the story instead of getting immersed in the story alongside the characters. I got this off a list for arranged marriage because I actually really like that trope — so if anyone has any recommendations, I’m all ears!

Fake Wife has so much potential. The billionaire and eligable bachelor and the damsel in distress. The plot/ story is weak. There is a lot of instant in this book. Miss Lynn seems in hurry to finish the story without giving her chatacters real chemistry. Like I said there is a lot of instant. Instant like, instant lust and instant love. Overall, a good promosing story, but not with emotional depth. 3 stars

Give me a present day marriage of convenience trope any day of the week! Corbin is a super wealthy, playboy guy who just lost his grandmother. She was important to him, as his father is a horrible man who has a family on the side and his mother is drinking herself to death. His grandmother left him her family estate - but with a condition. He must marry within six months and stay married for at least two years. Corbin knows his grandmother wants him to have someone serious in his life, but he is
Give me a present day marriage of convenience trope any day of the week! Corbin is a super wealthy, playboy guy who just lost his grandmother. She was important to him, as his father is a horrible man who has a family on the side and his mother is drinking herself to death. His grandmother left him her family estate - but with a condition. He must marry within six months and stay married for at least two years. Corbin knows his grandmother wants him to have someone serious in his life, but he is still pissed that he has to get married, to get his beloved family estate. He knows if his father gets a hold of the property, it will be torn down and turned into a strip mall. So Corbin will do what his grandmother wishes, and find a woman to marry. Teagan is having the worst day of her life. First, she gets laid off from her job at the library, which she loved. Then she finds her boyfriend of seven years banging a chick in their bed. Devastated, she packs up her car with all of her belongings and starts to drive - and she accidentally drives directly into our hero. She knows who Corbin is, as his picture is flashed on all the gossip magazines. She is horrified. Expecting to be screamed at, instead Corbin invites her to lunch, and then proposes marriage. And $250,000 to stay married for two years. No sex or anything required. Just a business arrangement. Corbin is sick of dating rich girls and takes one look at Teagan and is enchanted with her and her "normalness." Teagan is honestly sick of putting her life on hold for men. She quit her job to move to with her cheater ex boyfriend as he went through medical school - and now she would have to put her life on hold again for another two years. I like that this is a concern for her. "Nothing's wrong, exactly," Teagan says, going back to the topic. "I was just thinking today of all the times Drake asked me to put my dreams on hold, all the times he promise I'd get what I wanted once he finished his residency, and now..." Her voice trails off and she shrugs. Looking out the window, she finishes her thought on a whisper. "Now I'm doing it all over again." Teagan isn't forced to have this fake marriage by any means. It's totally her decision, and she turns out to be a really strong heroine in this book. At first, I wasn't so sure I was going to like Corbin. A bit cocky, and always talking about women's looks and how rich women are horrible people etc..and he only wanted to pretend marry a "normal" aka, not rich woman - I don't know. He rubbed me the wrong way at times [...] doesn't get how hard it is for a man like me to find someone who actually likes me. I've dated more socialites and daughters of the wealthy than I can count, and all of them typically have one hand on my dick and the other reaching for my black Amex. Rich women are a pain in my ass. They're more needy than tolerable, and more insecure than an abused dog. Okay, okay Corbin. Let's tone down the judgment a little bit sir. But he turns out to be a good guy. He respects Teagan and treats her well during their fake courtship/engagement. He starts to share real things of his life with her and if he does get out of line, or forgets to be a gentleman, she is there to remind him. She is a really strong character and she made this book for me It's also super dirty. Once they move past the fake stuff, into real relationship territory - it gets sexxxy. It's a pretty quick book, so things move along fast but it worked for me Grade: B

The reading of the will for Corbin's grandmother was not what he was expecting. Get married within 6 months, stay married for 2 years and he will receive the house and land that he has always loved. If he doesn't, it all goes to his father. That is the last thing Corbin wants because he knows his father will sell the property to be torn down and parceled out.

The reading of the will for Corbin's grandmother was not what he was expecting. Get married within 6 months, stay married for 2 years and he will receive the house and land that he has always loved. If he doesn't, it all goes to his father. That is the last thing Corbin wants because he knows his father will sell the property to be torn down and parceled out. Teagan has had one of the worst days of her life. She gets laid off from her job, only to come home early and find her long time fiancee in bed with another woman. She packs her car up with everything she owns and takes off. Next thing she knows, she rear ends a Mercedes. Instead of the irate rich guy she expects, she meets Corbin who is more concerned about her than his car. Corbin realizes right away that Teagan may be in the right position to help him with his grandmothers will. This was exactly what I needed after finishing a really heavy read. I'm a fan of the fake relationship trope and this was a pretty sweet, low to mid angst read. There is some conflict with these two starting out in a fake relationship but the author kept it to the minimum, which I really liked about the story. Both characters are very likable and I enjoyed watching these two dance around the instant attraction they have for each other. This was a fun read! ARC provided by Netgalley.

4 stars. Don't let the title fool you, this was essentially a really sweet and tender romance. One that I enjoyed from start to finish. I really liked Teagan she was a kind, honest person and was definitely having a very bad day when she meets Corbin for the first time. Even though Teagan was at fault for causing the accident where she ran into his car, Corbin treated Teagan with such kindness at the scene, not blaming her or shouting at her. Corbin's kindness was not just because he realizes that

Even though Teagan was at fault for causing the accident where she ran into his car, Corbin treated Teagan with such kindness at the scene, not blaming her or shouting at her. Corbin's kindness was not just because he realizes that Teagan can help him with a difficult situation but also because he truly is a genuinely good and kind guy. It was a case of love (and lust) at first sight for these two, even though both of them were obviously very unwilling to acknowledge/trust in their feelings for a long time. This was a book about dealing with past hurt, then moving forward and taking a chance on finding a lasting love. I really did love this book. It was a simple but really satisfying love story.
