Fake Wife by Stacey Lynn
The marriage was supposed to just be business until it became much, much more.
Stacey Lynn did a great job writing Fake Wife, I was hooked from the start of the book. From the title, Fake Wife I was expecting something different then Teagan and Sterling’s story. I instantly loved Teagan. From the start, I was drawn into the story because of her, the way Stacey Lynn put the words together was great. This was a great story all around. It was funny, cute and addicting. Very well written, great job Stacey Lynn for another great book!

Things are not always what they seem. This story proved that. This is a 4,5 star story that I enjoyed very much.
Teagan’s day goes from bad to worst. A chance encounter with a sexy, rich man might be the solution to her problem. Corbin makes her an offer that makes it very difficult for her to refuse.
I truly enjoyed this sweet, swooning unconventional love story. Corbin is really not who I thought he was going to be. He was so much more than his rich persona. His selfless acts make him sweet and lovable.
Beautifully written story with a great storyline that flowed well. There were never unnecessary details that dragged on. The story was straight to point by being addicting and captivating. I also enjoyed the perfectly created characters.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I highly recommend this story.
This was an enjoyable entry in the billionaire-must-make-a-fake-marriage trope in romance literature. It starts off with another familiar romance trope - the heroine who loses her job and finds her boyfriend cheating on her all on the same day. That’s how Teagan’s day starts. And it only gets worse, or maybe better, she she drives her car into the back of the car of Sterling Lane, well-known billionaire sex stud in Portland. Sterling takes a few moments to decide that Teagan should move into his apartment and be his fake wife so he can fulfill his grandmother’s will in order to inherit her house which is the only place he’s ever been happy. They proceed with their fake romance which doesn’t fool much of anyone.
Given that these are very familiar plot lines in romance novels, it helps that both Teagan and Sterling are likeable people and the reader will cheer for them realize what they really feel for each other. I enjoyed the alternating narrations from each.

Teagan and Corbin are a fun and feisty couple. Teagan literally bumps into Corbin and sparks fly. Their story is a romantic roller coaster that has this couple racing towards a happily ever after together.

Stacey Lynn is a master at creating a low angst, passionate, love stories. Sometimes the worst day of your life, becomes the best.....
Corbin and Teagan are both dealing with struggles such as loss and utter betrayal. And Teagan might be just the person Corbin is looking for, to solve his problems. So Corbin comes and saves the day, and soon sparks fly.
The banter and tender moments in this story was so heartwarming to read,
Fake Wife by Stacey Lynn is the story of Corbin and Teagan. I love this author and she didn’t disappoint with this book. I was hooked from the beginning. It is a sweet romance about 2 broken people who with an unexpected run in turn out to be what the each needed and never imagined it would happen for them. I highly recommend this book!!!
Overall I thought it was good book, the story was fun, both Teagan and Corbin were interesting characters. Liked his "real job"; enjoyed his friends, hope we can have their stories soon
"Sometimes, when things are right, even when they seem crazy, you know it."
I decided to give Fake Wife a try because I enjoyed the author's Nordic Lords MC series. I'm happy to report that the author convinced me, she can tackle any subject and do it justice. Whether it be a badass biker or Portland’s sexiest bachelor, she had me sighing with satisfaction.
Teagan, has the most awesome name, but the very worst luck. Everything that could go wrong in a single day... did. After getting laid off from her job she goes back home, earlier than usual. You get where I'm going with this, right? Douchebag boyfriend isn't expecting her, and she's not expecting what she finds when she gets there. And of course, she's not gonna stick around and discuss the extra blonde in her bedroom, so she packs her bags. And having nowhere to take those bags, they end up in her car. And not that I blame her, cuz I probably would do the same thing, but getting behind the wheel of her car when she couldn't see through her tears was an accident waiting to happen. And an accident did happen, making it the pièce de résistance of an epically bad day.
Corbin has a conscience, which is what makes him different from his father. He actually has feelings for people other than himself. He is extremely popular with the ladies and would have absolutely no problems finding a wife to fulfill the terms of his grandmother's will. But two years is a long time to be stuck with someone who couldn't see more than dollar signs when she looks at him. When he sees Teagan for the first time, he knows it's not the wreck that is causing the devastation he sees in her eyes, it's the result of it. Seeing all her possessions thrown all over her car, he knows she needs help. Why not help each other? Surely, being down on her luck she'd be agreeable to what he was proposing. It would be beneficial for both of them. Problem solved. He'd get a Fake Wife without all the complications, and she'd get enough money to start over and pursue her dream.
What neither of them considered was the possibility that they would want more. That the chemistry between them would be so strong that they were both mentally amending the no-sex clause of their fake marriage contract. What a wonderful time I had reading this treasure. I was especially drawn to Corbin and how he shared with me how Teagan made him feel. Both above and below his belt. I was drawn into his grief and memories and his hopes and fears. I adore his best friends and really hope the author decides to give them their own book(s) in the future. *fingers crossed* 🤞
This is my first book by Stacey Lynn.
What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Dual POVs
Standalone
HEA
Hoping Trey and Caitlin get their own stories.
I look forward to reading more from this author.
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.
