I had so much fun reading this book and being drenched in the chemistry between these two who were supposed to be faking it. Teagan Monroe and Corbin Lane both had the worst days of their lives. Corbin has sat through the reading of his grandmother's will and literally had his life as he had planned pulled out from under him. Teagan started her day by being laid off from her job and then when arriving home hours early finds her long-time live in boyfriend in bed with someone else. After packing her belongings into her car and leaving she runs into Corbin...actually runs into him...his car. Talk about fate. Corbin quickly hatches a plan and within a few minutes realizes she is the solution to his problem. The chemistry between these two scorching and how long will they be able to keep it fake?

I definitely recommend this one.

I loved this book! Grabbed me at the first chapter. The day started out horrible when they met but a chance encounter ended up changing there lives forever. When you think you know how your life is going to end up or pan out there is always a twist or wrench thrown in there somewhere and takes you on a completely new path. Corbin and Teagan are two lost souls who complete each other when they stay out of there own heads and talk to each other. Hated to see it end but really enjoyed it. Honest review in exchange for ARC.

Want a fun steamy read with just the right amount of drama? Then look no further! Stacey Lynn's latest standalone, Fake Wife, pairs happenstance romance with undeniable attraction for a sexy read to intrigue any type of romance reader.

Teagan's life has hit the absolute lowest gutter; no job, no home, of and a boyfriend she caught cheating all on the same day. Distraught and attempting to leave, she runs in, literally to none other than Seattle's hottest bachelor, Sterling, and he has an offer that will blow her away. Sterling knew he was attracted to Teagan the minute she stepped out of her car, but when he learns she's got no where to go and he's looking for someone just like her, he thinks fate may have crashed her right in to him.

Lynn's characters manage to blend a whirlwind romance (fake..but not fake) and what feels like high-school crushes alongside Sterling trying to navigate his estranged family. I loved watching Teagan and Sterling try (and FAIL!!!) to keep away from one another but the temptation is just so strong. I also loved that Sterling isn't your typical rich hero; there's another, rougher side to him that won me over from the typical trustfund-baby shtick. With so many "what-ifs" and "oh so close" moments, this read had me hanging on the edge of my seat ans screaming for the two of them to just LOVE each other!

I have to say that marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes. I don’t care that it’s predictable because what I love most is how the hero and heroine try to fight a losing battles because it is a blast to watch!
Corbin and Teagan have both had their run of bad crap lately. The only family member who mattered to him died and put a huge caveat on his inheritance, which at first had me thinking, “oh, poor little rich boy.” But the more I learned about Corbin—and the sperm donor he called ‘dad’—the more I understood his reason for going through with the charade. And Teagan, well she just had one of those bad days that usually ended with all of your closest girlfriends and copious amounts of junk food and booze. Since she has no girlfriends, she gets to add more crap to her life…in the form of an auto accident.
Don’t get me wrong, Stacey Lynn didn’t reinvent the genre by any means, but Fake Wife was a fun read that kept me smiling (nearly) the whole way. I really enjoyed the insta-love where I normally loathe it, because neither Corbin nor Teagan acted on it. In fact, they fought it so hard that at times I wanted to clunk their heads together.
Fake Wife was honestly just a damn good time. There was the greedy villainous relative who wanted to take the inheritance and make even more money on it—but I’ll say it again Stacey Lynn changed it up by giving us even more reasons to hate the villain. There was the expected miscommunication, but it was resolved quick enough that it didn’t ruin the ending.
In general, I’ve been hit or miss with this author since her Fireside series ended, but Fake Wife has given me a very convenient case of reader’s amnesia because I truly enjoyed it.

Final Score - 5 Stars!

I can’t tell you how much I loved this book ... a good fake romance story - I’m especially a sucker for all of those! I loved seeing Corbin and Teagan's natural progression from virtual strangers to passionate lovers. You can't help falling in love with this couple.

Both have been hurt by past relationships, but when they started falling for each other - they tried to fight it. How can two people who entered into a contractual marriage make an honest go of it? Doesn’t matter how hard they tried not to, feelings blossomed and love found a way.

Corbin and Teagan are fictional characters, but unlike previous characters I've read - they come across as real life ones. Their predicament was the only fiction - the thoughts, emotions, how they worked through their issues - both together and apart - are what make them feel like flesh and blood people.

I adore Stacey Lynn's writing and I’m glad to have read Corbin and Teagan's story. It's reignited in me the belief that not all things are left to chance.

3.5 Stars! Fun, easy, and quick read. Loved the relationship between the two characters. If you look at the title and read the blurb, it tells you all you need to know.

It’s been so long since I read a book from Stacey and I have to say that I missed it more than I expected. Her Fireside series scarred me for life and became one of my favorite series. An amazing combination of heart wreck and heart warmth. The river of emotions that was flowing out of it was incredibly overwhelming and her writing made it even more so. This time, though, she kept the emotions in a check which was a enjoyable change from what I was used with her.

Fake Wife is a new standalone novel whose story may is developed around the familiar concept of “marriage of convenience”, but everything else is quite new. At least to my reading cells. Also, this story is one of the most perfect examples that describe the weird games life loves to play on us. And this time, her game is nothing less than brilliant. Corbin Lane & Teagan Monroe. Two incredibly different human beings with completely different life styles. Or so it seems. The one is a heir of a multi million company he wants to have nothing to do with it. The other a woman who is trying to find her place in this world. Two separate events will lead to the one who will bring them together. At first, Corbin’s grandma just passed away and declares him the hair of one of her properties which Corbin adores. But there is a catch; he must fall in love and get married in less than six months and stay that way for the next 2 years. Secondly, Teagan is first fired from her job at the library and then catches in the most horribly graphic way her boyfriend cheating on her on their bed. And then Teagan crashes with Corbin’s car and that’s where their journey to true love begins.

In general, Corbin and Teagan’s love story was one of the sweetest I have read. Although, one of the things that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth was when she was describing the decisions she had made so far and what those had done to the course her life took. Honestly, I’m not judging her because if I was under the same circumstances I may have chosen the same. But, beyond that, it still wasn’t sitting well with me since it was making her seem more weak than she really was. Because she is an incredibly strong woman with a mind of her own and the heart and mind to teach life a lesson and succeed. Which brings me to her dream. A dream that spoke volumes of her personality and the unique kind of person she was. Some times the things that describe us the best are our dreams and not the decisions we (had to ) made in the past. And Teagan more than shows what a great human being she is.

"She sent Teagan to give me a home again, not just a house."

And now we come to Corbin. A guy who is the farthest thing from typical rich guy. In the contrary, he is the master of himself and his life and he fights for what matters to him. I simply don’t know how should I describe his goodness and his passionate nature. He quite literally swept me away. And the way he was with Teagan and how their relationship progressed so fast but so damn right, left me with no doubt that I was facing a great love. Both of them were a force to be reckoned with even at the very primary stages of them as one. Moment after moment, they were dragging me deeper into their world. And that epilogue? Oh. My!! I was done after that. A huge mush on the floor grinning like a fool.

I just love Lynn’s books for the simple reason that they always leave me up in the clouds while, firstly, taking me on a sweet strong ride of feelings. I can’t wait to read more of her books and to meet the new awesome couples she will come up with.

If you just had the worst day of your life and then the hottest bachelor in Portland asks you to marry them what would you say? Yes of course. I really enjoyed this book especially because it includes my favorite trope. This book was just perfect. It has great hero and great heroine. I loved that there was more to Corbin than just rich boy. He really loved his grandmother and he was only in the fake marriage to keep his grandmother’s home. It was the only home he really knew because he had terrible parents. I loved Teagan too. She went through so much in a short amount of time so it wasn’t hard to see her fall for someone like Corbin. As always these relationships, it never stays fake for long. Definitely recommend this one.

This was a great fake wife to real feelings story. Corbin isn't your typical rich tycoon who needs to get married in order to keep his fortune. In fact, he hates everything his father represents, because his father had a despicable life (in private anyway) and his mom had her own way to deal with things. When his beloved relative dies and stipulates that he had to marry within a few months, has to stay married for a couple of years, and that he will have to prove it, he believes it will be easy. All he had to do is keep his distance from his new wife. Until he meets Teagan. He's not sure what it is, but something about her gets him thinking things he never had before.
Teagan is truly down on her luck. She list her job, walked in on her boyfriend, whom she supported during med school, in bed with another woman, and then she his someone's car. Never in her wildest dreams did she think he would propose what he does.
As they spend more time with one another, they both fall, but don't communicate their true feelings. When his father, after a compelling reason, shows up at Corbin' their lives change drastically, just when they were happy, ask things change. I saw the issues right away, but didn't see what his dad had in store.
Can Corbin and Teagan find a way to be happy? Or, will his dad break them for good? I received an ARC in exchange for an ,voluntary review.

Wow! Get ready for some serious fun, a whole lot of sweetness, and off the charts sexy in this incredibly entertaining story. This is the first story that I have read by Stacey Lynn and it definitely will not be my last.
This was just so amazing and I feel blown away! Everything about this story was pretty perfect for me. The storyline and writing was fantastic. There were so many great details and moments that just filled me up. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them connect and learning their histories and similarities. Together they had such amazing interactions. I loved their playfulness and that building heat between the two. Their chemistry sizzled. There are ups and downs, tension and heat and it was great watching them work through their struggles as they figure everything out.
FAKE WIFE was thoroughly captivating and I couldn’t put down, reading it in one sitting and keeping me in its’ spell for days afterwards.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I knew within the first chapter or so that I was going to absolutely love Fake Wife. Although I knew so early on that I was going to love the story, I wasn't always so sure. From the moment I read the title I honestly thought it was going to be just another fake romance gone wrong story, I mean we know from the very beginning when we read the title there will be a fake marriage. Let me tell you though, Stacey does what she always does, she brings us characters that are so real and so easy to fall in love with that we feel an instant connection to both Teagan and Corbin.

Teagan, living one heck of a bad day, meets Corbin while he is not in the best state of mind. Corbin has learned that his grandma wants him to marry within a matter of months and remain married for a specific amount of time in order to inherit the house and land he has always loved. Will they make it?

I read Fake Wife at the end of a reread spree because I was stuck in a book rut. While Fake Wife packs the emotions whether happy or sad, it was one of those light reads that makes your book lovers heart so happy.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

When can you rear end a wealthy man and end up his wife?  Well - fake wife.  I enjoyed reading this new book by Stacey Lynn.  Stirling and Teagan are great characters I think you will enjoy their story. 

So he has to marry in order to keep all that's sacred to him.  Wham!  How about his future wife crashes right into him...quite literally.  That he would offer her enough security financially plus a place to live for a couple of years to fulfill the contract is like a fairy tale come true.

Neither know one another.  His world is not hers.  So to say Teagan is a breath of fresh air is an understatement.  Though the one thing neither of them count on is falling for the other.  That can't happen if it's all fake...right?

This story read very quickly for me.  I pretty much "inhaled" this book.  Their banter and relationship is definitely one everyone would hope to have in real life.

Grandma knows best!!!

Can two people that meet under negative circumstances fall in Love? If they fall in love how will they know it’s real?

CAN THEY BE HAPPY?

In this sweet, book of negatives turned positive we get to go on the roller coaster ride with Corbin and Teagan. With the instant chemistry and trust issues it’s a guaranteed bumpy ride.

Authors Blurb: 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.


I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks you Netgally for letting me read and review.

This was such a sweet and fun loving read.
I loved Teagan and Corbins characters.
this book made me swoon in more then one occasion!
I volunteered to read a copy of this book

I’m a sucker for fake wife/fiancée stories, so they’re always a good bet when I’m trying out a new-to-me author. This was a touching fake fiancée story with a huge dose of intsta-romance and I really enjoyed it immensely.

There are a lot of things that could have been added to this story that would have bogged it down. The author was very smart to keep certain things on a more peripheral level. Such as the paparazzi aspect of being a local “celebrity” …it’s touched upon but isn’t allowed to overwhelm the story.

The fact that Corbin is the very good-looking heir to a prominent and rich family led me to believe he would be a bit of a smug jerk. Instead, he is a very sympathetic hero. There is so much he has put up with and made concessions for throughout his life. While he’s not happy about the way so many things in his life have panned out, he’s not exactly bitter either. And he’s definitely a wonderful friend to those he trusts.

If you are ever having just a terrible day and think it’s the worst day ever, reading the beginning of this book may change your mind. Teagan is truly having the worst day ever when this book starts. The fact that she doesn’t have more issues is really a miracle after what she’s been through. Not just that day, but in life in general. I really appreciated that she was able to see, when everything came to a head between her and Corbin, that she really could trust him. The author took a different angle on this than you usually read and Teagan didn’t need to be hit upside the head to know what the truth of their relationship was.

I’ve really been having a great time with some new-to-me authors lately. Many of them, like Stacey Lynn, have a bit of a back library for me to go through, too. Now to find the time to read all the books!

t’s been so long since I read a book from Stacey and I have to say that I missed it more than I expected. Her Fireside series scarred me for life and became one of my favorite series. An amazing combination of heart wreck and heart warmth. The river of emotions that was flowing out of it was incredibly overwhelming and her writing made it even more so.

Fake Wife grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let go. This story is sooo good and one that I'd definitely recommend.

My heart poured out to Teagan as she just couldn't catch a break. Or could she? Seemed that Corbin came along at just the right time, despite having just buried his grandmother. I loved the chemistry between Teagan and Corbin and how they fought what was so obvious.

I sort of knew how the ending was going to be, but Stacey Lynn gave the story such more. Yes, there were ups and downs, but she made it so interesting and I just couldn't get enough of the characters, even Drake when he decided to show his ugly face again.

I'm going to check out other stories by this author because I really liked her writing style.

A very entertaining marriage of convenience story. The characters are great and the writing and flow of the story are excellent. Overall a great read.

Teagan has had one heck of a day. First she loses her job. Then arriving home early she catches her long term boyfriend in bed with another woman. As if that wasn't enough she then rams her car into the rear of "Portland's Sexiest Bachelor". She expects Corbin to be furious. Instead he makes her an offer she should refuse but what the heck, she's going for it. Now she just has to lock down her heart and keep her head in the game.

Definitely a book I recommend.

Fake Wife is my first time reading Stacey Lynn, but I am furiously devouring her backlist. This wickedly sexy and heartfelt romance was entertaining and heartwarming from cover to cover. Corbin has to marry within six months to secure his grandmother’s inheritance, and fate provides him the perfect bride when Teagan runs into him. Literally. She runs her car into his. There’s chemistry crackles from their first meet, and they form a connection quickly. Although their relationship and impending marriage is supposed to be essentially a business transaction, both begin to feel more as they get to know each other. Corbin is the sexy and charming man you want marry, and Teagan is the likable girl you want to be best friends with. Don’t miss this adorable, heartwarming and steamy romance!
