overall I found the story be entertaining and original. good plot.

A great quick read; while it's predictable the journey to get to the end isn't an easy one. I loved the banter between the two along with the underlying sexual tension. I liked that Drake appeared several times and didn't just quietly disappear. Although I have to admit I laughed the final time he made an appearance and complained about Missy. Karma!

From the beginning, I seriously wanted to hate this book. It has an awful case of the tropes--marriage of convenience, perfect heroine, billionaire meet-cute, emotionally scarred hero, & (my least favorite) insta-love. This book should be an absolute train wreck. Imagine my surprise when Stacey Lynn didn’t just make it work, she made me love it.

What worked for me: Oh, Teagan. Nearing the end of her 20’s, she’s devastated to find the man she thought she’d be with forever was cheating on her. The feeling of having wasted some of your best years & wasted sacrifice. I instantly sympathized because I’ve been in her shoes. Although Corbin comes with some baggage, he doesn’t hate women & isn’t anti-marriage. His motivations are mostly pure--to keep his family home--& he recognizes that he could be missing out by not fulfilling the spirit of his grandmother’s wishes. The chemistry between the two sizzles off the charts.

What I didn’t like so much: Teagan got over her ex in record time. I would have like to see her struggle a little more with moving on so quickly. It felt like a bit of a cop out to wrap it up so neatly. Overall, a small nitpick in relation to my enjoyment of the overall story.

Hats off to Ms. Lynn for such a great novel. It’s was a just-about perfect mix of funny, sweet, & sexy. I highly recommend!

I love arranged marriages in romance novels but I wasn't a fan of Fake Wife.
Teagan literally slams into Corbin and so begins their story. At first I was on board with this unlikely duo but as the story continued
I was getting a little tired of the whoa is me personality Teagan had.
Corbin was sweet but also very cliche. Hates his father, doesn't want to have anything to do with his company..

They were also a little to hot and cold for me. I was getting tired of their indecision.

The fake-to-real relationship concept isnt something new. I've read plenty of stories like it. As matter of fact this week alone, this is the third ARC I got of that sort. But it works, and I loved it. I loved the story... My only complain is that, I wish there was a wee bit more drama coming from Drake, or any of Corbin's exes... they should've given Corbin or Teagan more strain, or something like that... despite the father meddling and the anxiety the feelings brought, I felt like everything was just too easy. Dont get me wrong, I dont like super angsty books, they can be really draining...but I guess a little bit more is okay...but I'm not the writer, so I respect that. I was just saying, is all... lol

I can certainly relate to Teagan— her insecurities and apprehensions. Its a normal knee-jerk reaction especially when your heart was shredded by someone you gave yourself to for many years. Being in your head too much can make you blind to beautiful things that come your way.

I honestly enjoyed the book... I finished it within the day. I'm usually a stickler for timelines and pacing— still am, but for some reason it worked. Everything was great.

I know the story of Corbin and Teagan only took a very short time to evolve from fake to real... and usually I'd roll my eyes at the typical corny insta-love feels, but surprisingly this one is really good. I guess it all boils down on how it was written... on how the feelings were vividly worded and described by the author. I had butterflies in my tummy page after page.

If you're looking for a light, fun and sexy read, this is the book to pick up!

It's not real. Or is it? From the first time Corbin laid eyes on Teagan, he thinks he's seeing an angel. Teagan sees the man that is going to be her salvation. All the twist that this book takes, from exes who can't take the hint when told no. To fathers who think they are a god and you owe them. It seems to just make their connection closer.

Stacey Lynn is quickly becoming on of my favorite authors. Her stories have such heart and she makes you fall in love with the characters. I took a bit longer to warm up to the hero because he was kind of an ass but I love how the heroine didn't put up with his shit and brought out the best in him. I'm looking forward to more by this author!

When Corbin loses his beloved grandmother he is crushed, she was always the one bright spot in his life, the one person who didn't have a long list of expectations for him, and the one person who made him feel truly loved. His parents are another story, while he knows his mother loves him, he also knows that she will always side with his philandering father, and it has always caused a rift between them. Especially now, his father knows that with Corbin's grandmother's passing that their homestead is up for grabs, and he'd love nothing more than to get his grubby hands on it, and turn it into the next hot property, whereas Corbin plans to keep it just the way it is now. And the only way he can do that is to find a wife, and ensure the property stays with him... problem is all the women he knows would gladly be his wife, for a hefty price. Then he literally crashes into an angel and all bets are off...

To say that Teagan's life is hell right now, is a complete understatement, first she loses her job, then comes home to find her fiance doing the deed with a busty blonde, and then she loses her home when she walks away from their seven year relationship. It's as if life is completely against her right now, then fate steps in and hands her a "get out of hell free card", and puts her face to face with the Adonis she has been swooning over since she first arrived to town. Corbin is beyond gorgeous, and he makes her a offer that she can't really refuse right now... and as soon as she says "yes" to his offer the sparks start flying and her once crappy life starts looking better than ever!

Fake Wife is a gem of a story, within the pages of this sweet and sexy read you will find many moments that will put a smile on your face and a blush upon your cheeks!! Seriously you can't go wrong with a hunky billionaire, who falls for a plain Jane damsel in distress... the moment Corbin swooped in and saved the day my heart started to melt. Watching these two fight so hard not to fall for one another was quite entertaining, there was lots of feisty banter that had the heat rising, and lots of unexpected tender moments that had me swooning, I loved every moment of their little journey! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, Ms. Lynn's well crafted characters are sure to have you falling in love right along with them!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

What a sweet story this was! I really enjoy Stacey Lynn’s writing and this book is a perfect example of why.

I loved everything about it – the writing, the characters, the story. Once I started this, it was hard to put down. Plenty of feels, lots of fun, and a very satisfying amount of sexy time. ;)

I enjoyed the way Teagan and Sterling met, running into each other. Well, actually, SHE ran into HIM. Literally. Watching their story unfold after the accident was very entertaining. These two are adorable characters and I couldn’t help but fall in love with them. Not only was this story fun, it was also charming & sexy.

This is a well-written, quick and flirty read. It’s the perfect blend of passion, fun, and heart. I highly recommend it!

Fake Wife by Stacey Lynn is the story of Teagan and Corbin who meet after Teagan accidentally rear ends Corbin in a fender bender.

Corbin is well- known, wealthy and handsome and makes an offer to Teagan as he needs to find a wife, per his grandmother’s recent death, and stipulation in her will.

Teagan is having a horrible day, just being laid off from her job of 4 years, finding her live-in boyfriend in bed with someone else and the car accident.

The problem is that this is supposed to be an arrangement between the two, but both are physically attracted to each other and begin to have feelings for one another. Both trying to understand what the other wants. “This isn’t pretend Teagan. Everything I’m feeling for you right now is more real than anything I’ve ever felt.”

This was a sweet romance with not too much drama. Stacey Lynn always keeps you engaged and I love her books. I look forward to her next release.

I received an ARC from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Fake engagements and marriages are a total catnip for me. I love how Corbin was so different from the typical billionaire persona, with a passion for building furniture with wood. I do wish that Teagan and Corbin slowly fell in love with each other. There's something about the slow burn that's so satisfying. But this instant love at first sight was still a quick and enjoyable read.

What a great read. This book was a sweet romance that tugs at your heart ❤️. Teagan is having a bad day. First she gets laid off, then she arrives home to find her boyfriend banging some blond, she then leaves him becoming homeless and to top it all off she just rear ended a rich guys fancy car. What more could happen?

Corbin Lane is having a bad day. His grandmother has passed away and his dad is trying to take his grandmother’s place in the Bluffs from him to tear down and build a shopping mall. When his grandmother’s will is read he gets her place in the Bluffs under one condition he must fall in love and marry within 6 months. So when the beautiful woman rear ends him he gets an idea. Can he convince this angel to marry him?

This is a classic tale of a poor girl falling for the rich knight in shining armor. The story is about following your own dreams and never giving up, for when it is meant to be it will be. Never believe what’s on the surface because deep down the truth shall set you free.

The characters are very lovable. They are sweet and caring. You can’t help but love them. I would love to see a spin-off using Corbin’s best friends Caitlin and Trey.

The story really flows just perfectly. It has some twists and misunderstandings. It keeps things interesting. I highly suggest this book for all you romantics at heart.

This book is about a woman that had a very horrible day and the last person she needed to run into was sexy playboy Corbin. Corbin on the other hand just lost the one person he loved his grandmother, but when her will was read he was in for a shock..2 yrs of having a fake wife or was it.

Where do I start with this outstanding book. I know I started it this morning and couldn't put it down. I read it this Absolutely Beautiful book in one sitting. I was astounded with the Writing and the characters. They had me trapped.

From the moment I met Corbin and Teagan I was take away by them their pasts so heartbreaking that it's that Reason alone you keep reading. Cos no two ppl deserve a HEA than these two.

Yes it's a sweet Cinderella story but it's so beautiful and so sweet and fluffy you will not wanna put this book down. All you will do is try to saviour each word.
This is the Fairytale we love and Naughty just the way we like it.
It's not what you expecting bit definitely way more.
Grab it as soon as it's out cos you will love it😍

I really really enjoyed this book. It was a sweet romance, of course they got their HEA (sorry – but what do you expect.....).

Let´s see what we got:

Teagan ahd a shitty day – lost her job, caught her boyfriend cheating and lost her home – all within a few hours. And if that´s not enough – she caused an accident and hit ….

….Sterlings car. His day was not better. He lost his grandmother – and had to learn, that he will loose the house, if he is not married within 6 months and stays married for at least two years.

He is desperate – that could be the only reason why he offered Teagan to marry him – for a nice amount of money.

This wasn´t the proposal she hoped for – but since she had a secret crush on him, she accepted his offer.

Sure – there were some stereotypes – he is very rich, she is poor, his parents are not the loving couple they pretend in public. There are two really nice friends (I hope they get their own story!)

To be honest – it was nothing in this book „never heard before“ - but it was nice, easygoing, hero and heroine very likabel. A perfect book for a leisurely weekend or a day at the beach.

A few spelling errors, but other than that, I loved this book. I LOVE each and every Stacey Lynn book I've ever read, and I've read quite a few. This book goes in that category as well.

Teagan Monroe was having a really bad day. First she got laid off at her job, the public library she's worked at for 4 years. So she goes back to her apartment and is tip-toeing around the place, her boyfriend was sleeping, until she hears noises from the bedroom. She walks into the room not expecting to see what she did, her boyfriend of 7 years cheating on her with someone else in their bed. She goes nuts. She demands that they both get out, tells her NOW ex she's moving out, while this is all happening, he's tells her "honey, it's not what it looks like." Teagan is so upset, driving with a car full of boxes and clothes while crying probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. Next thing she knows, she hits an expensive Mercedes, only the guy is more concerned about her well-being, not his.

Corbin Lane, son of one of the richest families in Portland, famous bachelor, on all the tabloids, Twitter, Facebook, etc. He just buried his grandmother this morning and sat through the reading of her will. She practically raised him at her home to get him away from his messed up parents. As promised, she left him her mansion, which means more to Corbin than money does. But she also left a clause that he has 6 months to get married, needs to stay married for 2 years, or his greedy father can bulldoze the place to build the a mall. He had no idea about the clause, but he refuses to let his father destroy that home.

When Teagan accidentally hits him with her car, he's shocked at how beautiful she is. When she tells him that she will work out a payment plan to pay off his car damages; he realizes that she isn't like anyone else who wants something from him. She would be perfect. He takes her to late lunch and he finds out why her life is in her backseat, and why there are dried tears on her face. Then he goes in with the charm and asks her to be his fake wife for 2 years with compensation. She thinks he was hit too hard on the head.

They agree to spend the weekend together getting to know each other, and go from there. They go out to the house (now his) and she's overwhelmed. She's a normal girl, he's a child of billionaires. He loves that she doesn't want his money, although he has no problem spending any on her.

As weeks turn into a month they agree the faster they get married, the faster it will be over. But now feelings are involved. Teagan is in love with Corbin. But she's not sure if his touches and kisses are part of their charade or not. But when Corbin's greedy father gets Teagan alone, things go from amazing to terrible in the 10 minutes he's in the apartment.

A must read!!!

This book was crazy but I loved it. Only in fiction you find a girl who crashes into the car of Portland’s most famous playboy and ends up agreeing to marry him a couple of hours later! And the best thing is, the author made it sound believable. And both characters were very likable too. I was attracted by the cover and the title, and I’m so glad I got to read this refreshing story.

So, Corbin’s grandmother died and left him bereft. He hates his father, feels sorry for his mother but she’s a mannequin that his father manages with strict control, so the only loving family he has is his grandmother that he just lost. And on top of that pain, he got the injustice that she left him her house and property, subject to his falling in love and marrying within six months of her death and stay married at least two years. This trope is old and used very often, but I’ve seen wonderful stories woven with this plot. In this case, it was another brilliant rendition.

Teagan is a wonderful character. She’s open, kind, honest, and of course beautiful. Loyal too, because she fell in love with her first boyfriend, Drake, and dropped out of college to follow him around as he went to one college to study medicine and to another city for his internship/residence. Seven years after, the sparkle of their love is faded, but she solders on because she’s committed. However, she perceives there are problems and when she tries to perk up their sex live, he cheats on her in the worst possible way. And on the same day she was fired from her job! So she packs all her stuff in the back of her car, is wandering around looking for cheap lodging and bam! Hits the back of Corbin’s Mercedes.
Corbin had just left his lawyer and was leaving the parking, thinking of what woman would be acceptable to marry when bam! Teagan hits his car. As he talks to her, he sees her as the perfect candidate: she’s homeless, in despair from her breakup, and jobless. As she says, she’s already lost seven years following Drake around and waiting for his promise of marriage, why not two more years and the promise of funds to realize her dreams of a horse therapy farm?

From the get-go, this marriage was bound to succeed. There were little-known facts about Corbin and his company, and he was not just the aimless playboy he seemed to be. He had a darkness and bad temper, but Teagan was not a timid mouse and she called him on it. They had very vivid discussions and Corbin opened up slowly to Teagan. As their trust and openness improved, so did their attraction and the intimacy of their relation. I liked that Teagan made Corbin a better man and made him trust in himself. There was a little intrigue, a hateful and envious father, some close friends who provided a little help, and an ex-boyfriend who realized what he lost, too little too late. Corbin had some old scars from his father’s treatment and Teagan helped him deal with it.

This was a great and easy read. I liked both characters and loved how they got to where they were a couple, not just a business transaction. And I loved that Corbin had hidden depths and was not just a pretty man. Teagan was the same through the book, a great girl who loves too much but was a better person from it. She was mad at Drake but moved on with remarkable mental stability. She hurt because she had loved him for so long, but as she told Drake: you cheated so we are done. Corbin had a little problem with trust, and with Teagan learned to trust in love and in a woman’s love.

This was a refreshing read, one of those that leave you in a happy mood because you get all you like in a book, some humor, some angst, some sex and a lovely love story with a couple of remarkable characters. Really recommend!

Teagan has the worst day ever. First she lost her job, found her boyfriend with another woman, and crashed into a car carrying one of the sexiest men in town! Instead of blowing up at Teagan, Corbin takes her to lunch and offers her an idea she can’t refuse. Read to find out how the worst day turns into the best rest of her life!

Really liked the book! She dealt with so much s**t all on 1 day, and then a car accident happens to lead her to a path of happiness. Both Corbin and Cass are likable, the attraction they shared was palpable. Definitely a book I didn't want to put down and I'm a bit sad it's over.
