This was an enjoyable read! Well written characters, interesting plot, and witty dialogue.

Amusing story of circumstances leading to love. An enjoyable tale with a happy ending.

Corbin and Teagan are the perfect romance. Their story is sweet, sexy and brimming with warmth. I fell in love with them and hope very much that Corbin's friends, Trey and Caitlin get their own stories. I'm a huge huge fan of this author and she once again knocked my socks off with her storytelling.

Sweet book that stands the test of time! One can never have too many love at first site novels! Great read! Looking forward to more from Stacey!

Did you ever want to give a book 10 stars? This is one I would! Cute story about the worst day ever turning into the best accident that ever happened.

Corbin is just the sweetest! Teagan, oh the poor girl. For her to still smile and keep her sense of humor was amazing.

I loved this book and hope we see them again!!

Very cute story with some heavy emotion. I liked the divergence of the typical wealthy love interest sweeping the broke protagonist off her feet (albeit unintentionally) by having him interested in a fairly humble, yet creative trade.

This book starts out with Teagan enduring a really bad day - losing her job, catching her boyfriend of 7 years cheating on her in their bed and a car accident that she caused by running into the back of Sterling's Mercedes. Sterling has also had his life upended when his grandmother stipulates in her Will that he must marry within 6 months and stay married for 2 years to get her house. Sterling is intrigued by Teagan and proposes that they get married. Teagan is overwhelmed at first. She isn't sure she fits into Sterling's world and is not even remotely ready to give another man her heart. They both look at this from a business sense and see that they can each get what they want. Their chemistry cannot be denied and both were stubborn at points in not giving in to what they truly wanted - each other. Teagan was hard for me to like at some points. She was so insistent on not getting hurt that she didn't care that she was hurting Sterling in the process. Her inability to trust him was unwarranted. I did like how Sterling figured out what he wanted and knew what he had to do in order to achieve it. The fact that he knew her well enough to know what was and wasn't going to work showed how much he really liked her and got to know her. The ending was nicely done. I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This was a very sweet romance. These two are thrown together in the most unlikely circumstance. Both needed an escape and they found a way to mutually make that happen. The chemistry is instant and the fake relationship slowly becomes real. I really enjoyed the pace and writing of this book. The character had great depth and I really enjoyed the story line. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
I was given a copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

I was grateful to receive a free Copy of Fake Wife in exchange for an honest review. I am so glad had the opportunity to read this book. I loved everything about the story and the characters, Sterling and Teagan. My only problem was I couldn't put the book down! I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. It started off with Sterling learning in order to keep his grandmother's house he has to marry. We then meet Teagan who has had a rough morning. She gets fired from her job, comes home to find her bf screwing someone else before getting in a car accident. Of course the person she hits is Sterling. He ends up propositioning her a deal she can't refuse.

This was what I would call a steamy Hallmark movie book. It was cute, sweet, fluffy and funny. There was only a sprinkling of drama. Sterling is not the typical billionaire bachelor we see in this book. There were some characteristics, but in the end he ended up being a really good guy. Teagan was definitely someone I could relate to. She didn't back down when guys tried to control her and she definitely had some sass. She fought back. I also really enjoyed the side characters of Caitlyn and Trey. I'd be interested in a sequel featuring those two getting together. This book was better than I was expecting when I first read it.

I needed to read Fake Wife. The books that I have read before Fake Wife dealt with some pretty heavy subjects. I needed a book where I didn’t have to concentrate too hard on the plot but I still had a great time reading. That’s when I looked at my TBR pile and saw that Fake Wife was next. It was the book I needed.

The plot of Fake Wife is pretty basic. Girl gets fired from job, comes home early and catches boyfriend nailing a busty blonde on their bed. The girl ends the relationship and moves out that day. The girl then gets into a car accident with the sexiest bachelor in Portland, OR. Bachelor’s grandmother died, leaving him a house with a stipulation. He has to get married within 6 months of the will being read or the house goes to his scumbag father. Bachelor comes up with a plan: He will marry the girl, stay married for 2 years and he will have the house clear and free. The girl will be paid $250K for her role. All they have to be is roommates and the girl has to go to events with him. Which is easier said than done since they both want each other. Can they pull this off or will everything crumble?

I liked Teagan. I thought she handled Drake’s cheating pretty well. If it was me walking in on that, I would be going to jail. When she hit Sterling’s car, her surprise was very genuine at his niceness. I also liked her reaction to his proposition. I would have acted the same way. What I didn’t get was when she let Sterling’s father into the condo. Sterling had told her not to. Yet she does it and then runs away when she sees what he brought (which was low). I was mystified about her running away. She knew how Sterling felt about his father. So for him to bring something important over because Sterling asked was out of character. I do like that she did realize what happened and came home. But still.

I loved Sterling. He was Teagan’s Prince Charming. Even more so, he came across as a normal, red-blooded man. He liked working with his hands and built a successful business out of that. He wasn’t your typical playboy bachelor. He didn’t have tons of friends, just two good ones with one being a woman. He was also a standup guy. I had tears in my eyes when he told the story of how he met Caitlin. He was a hero. I wanted to reach through the book and hug him for that. I also wish that he was real…lol.

The sexual tension between Sterling and Teagan was through the roof. I will admit, I have never met a book where masturbation was mentioned every couple of chapters or so. I also haven’t read a book where the male lead hears the female lead masturbating and doesn’t go right in to finish it for her. It was refreshing. When they had actual sex, it was off the pages hot and every sex scene after that was too. Those two were also like bunnies. They couldn’t keep their hands off of each other once they did the deed.

The end of the book was pretty typical. Except for the situation with Sterling’s father. I was so mad at that for both Teagan and Sterling. But once they worked through it, I was thrilled. Of course, the epilogue was awesome. Teagan got her dream and Sterling got to live the life he wanted. And there is an added bonus there too!!

Fake Wife is one of those books that you can read at the beach or pool. Or, if it’s winter, by the fireplace. The sex was hot and the characters relatable. I hope there is a book 2 because I can’t wait to see what happens to them!! Well, past the epilogue.

Will I reread: Yes

Will I recommend to family and friends: Yes

Age range: Adult

Why: Sex, language, and mild violence

**I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**

A refreshing change of pace for me. Where the beast isn't really a beast, well not until the little miss who rear ended him after the worst day of her life, but she does it. Just by being who she is.

Teagan's had the absolute worst day of her life, fired from her job, coming home and finding her fiancé of 7 years... (right) drilling some blonde, so she packs her stuff and is now jobless, homeless and rear ends a car at a light, the driver happens to be the wealthiest, best looking you know the rest.
He's just buried his beloved grandmother and after meeting at the lawyer's office and the reading of her will requiring him to marry within 6 months and stay married 2 years or he forfeits her beloved home, which is really home for him. His father who is a real piece of work wants to plow it down and put up a mall. Not gonna happen. Corbin hates his father and there's a whole story there, but seeing Teagan's obvious predicament and having just enough booze in him, makes her a deal. Something tells him she's not after his money or the typical women that try to snag him. He wants normal.
She's as normal as they get.
I loved the two of them together, the banter and her calling him out when he's being an a@@ to her.
He learns to temper not only his speech but his demeanor. So this shifts from an agreement of sorts into something so much more. Ah, but not without a few speed bumps and there was a really doozy lurking around the corner. Bad enough the ex showed his face a couple times. What a jerk.
Great story, nice to read a good love story for a change without a lot of garbage attached to it.

Received ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

5 Star Read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved everything about Teagen & Corbin’s story !! Who wouldn’t want to be whisked away by a gorgeous Billionaire after having the day from “hell” !!!

This book is funny - sexy & has a modern day Cinderella feel to it! Highly recommend this book & cant wait to read more from this author !!

Teegan is having a bad day, but the best part of it was running her car into the back of Sterling's car. The two share a hot and steamy "fake" relationship in an attempt for Sterling to fulfill the wishes of his deceased grandmother's will.

This was a great read! I look forward to reading more by Stacey Lynn.

From the first word written----this book kept me wanting to keep reading all the way to the very end in one sitting! Enjoyably written with delightful characters encompassing it all----sexy, funny and good story! Thank you for the opportunity to have read this title prior to publication.

Lovely read, cute story and great characters. Would definitely like to see what happens next!

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.

This is my first book by Stacey Lynn and it's a sweet, low-angst, fun read. While you definitely knew what was coming next, you still can't help but root for the MC's to get their HEA. Corbin and Teagan make a really cute couple.

*ARC provided by author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

This was a sweet sexy little romance. Two strangers, each having terrible days, come together in mutual necessity, but end up falling for each other. Of course there is a lot more to the story and plenty of build up to the HEA, but it was an enjoyable journey. Will definitely pick up more reads from Stacey Lynn.

No surprises in this easy going romance, and do you know what? Sometimes you don’t need the angst, the stress, or the emotion and tears, sometimes it’s good to just read. That’s what I did, and I loved every minute of it. Teagan Monroe is having a really bad day and to top it all she’s gone and rear ended one of the richest playboys in the city, Corbin Lane. Corbin is having an equally sh!tty day, but after being rear ended by a beautiful “normal” girl, things start looking up and he can start actually thinking about the possibility of keeping his dream home. Their mutual arrangement looks like it’s going to benefit them both, they’ve just got to ensure they don’t start mixing business with pleasure. How hard can that be? Lovely writing, dual POV, easy going and extremely sexy love story with some wonderful supporting characters. Highly enjoyable. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was absolutely fantastic and the whole plot really worked wonderfully.Though the title is kind of misleading it should rather be called Fake fiancee as the two aren't married in the book just engaged.

Teagan and Corbin are both having the worst day ever when they have a fender bender. That is when Corbin gets a brilliant idea, they should get hitched. He needs to get married for 2 years to inherit this house that his grandmother left him but he doesnt want to marry the women he knows he wants a real woman, one who is not after his money.

Teagan is down on her luck boyfriendless, broke, fired and now she had a car accident. So when the rich guy proposes she says sure. But the two want to take things slowly and so they move in together to get to know the other. That is really what this book is about. Them discovering who the other is, their problems, and falling in love.

It was a really great story with wonderful characters and I totally loved every minute of it.
