Caitlyn Ramos has moved to the city to work as a dog walker with her two best friends at their animal shelter while she studies for her CPA exam. She is divorced from a cheating, total control freak who isolated her from everyone. She carries lots of baggage from this. She is fiercely independent and bristles any time someone orders her to do anything.

Taylor Blankenship is former military, and a helicopter pilot for Anderson Industries. He has such an erratic, crazy, on call/on demand schedule that he doesn't have time to date. Any attempts seem to always get interrupted by work. Anderson Industries sponsors the animal shelter Caitlyn works for.

A misunderstanding leads to a three day fake fiancée weekend between Caitlyn and Taylor. Taylor's take charge military personality rubs Caitlyn's you can't tell me what to do attitude the wrong way. The more time they spend together the more they realize how much they actually like the other.

I loved Taylor's Grams. What a feisty, cheerful, entertaining lady with a zest for life! I liked all of Taylor's family. What a great fun way to spend a family weekend.

This is an entertaining, minimal angst read. I've been in a bit of a funk lately and this family's interactions were a good pick me up.

I voluntarily read an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.

*I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

I love the stories where the couple has to pretend to be a couple and then find out they are perfect for each other. They are just so much fun! And I think this book is that feeling very well.

I did chuckle once or twice reading this.

This is a sweet story with cute characters. Honestly, I really liked these characters. Taylor understands Caitlyn has a problem with orders and does his best not to give those orders, but explains why he will. Now, I liked how this is done to show growth and connection, but still wish there was more of him not giving orders.

The romance is well done and the obstacles seem realistic, so how they were overcome was refreshing instead of how some books just sweep it away or expect the woman to move for the man.

I really liked this one, more than the first, and will keep my eye out for book #3.

Great story, funny family and hilarious grandma
.I receive a ARC from Netgalley for my honest review.
Caitlyn and Taylor story is funny, unexpected and strong. She have her baggage that not let her be happy and he has his mind set in his future. But when tbeir lives collides love triumph above all.

Three Day Fiancée is a fantastic and very cute read. It gives you the good awe feelings and will give you good giggles too. I love how Taylor and Caitlin meet. Leave it to the actions of a dog named Beau tp bring these two together. Boy does the sexual tension between Caitlin and Taylor evident. I love the bossy sweet side of Taylor and I love the little sassy yet sweet side of Caitlin. You can tell she struggles with trusting her heart. For that fact I love that Taylor is a little bit gentle with her. Just wait until you meet Grandma. I'm telling you she is one of my favorite characters in Three Day Fiancée. Her antics for family weekend and after will leave you laughing out loud. A fantastic read for you dog lovers or even the fake engagement turned love story lovers out there. You don't want to miss this one.

This book has dogs in it, a very sweet and sexy romance, two main characters who are a joy to read about and a funny and enchanting story-line that had me hooked right from the start!
---
When we meet Caitlin, we get to know her as a really driven person who’s on her way to getting her CPA and in the meantime, she’s walking dogs for her friends business. She’s hell-bent on getting her CPA and love isn’t something she’s looking for after her terrible marriage experience with Gary, her ex-husband who treated her like crap. But fate decides to throw some yummy hot helicopter pilot her way, aka the Saint Bernard’s owner, the ‘difficult’ dog she has to walk now, where a lot of other walkers failed before her, to ‘handle’ this dog (of course, the dog is amazing and there’s nothing wrong with him I think, lol. He’s this over-enthusiastic overgrown puppy and I loved him to death right from the start)

And where she thought it was only about walking a dog, she’s in for a whole new adventure; to play this hot helicopter pilot’s – aka Taylor – fiancé for three days on a family getaway where they have to convince Taylor’s Gran that they’re in love with one another so gran gets ‘off his back’ about his love life. Getting something in return for taking this deal Taylor proposed her with, Caitlin accepts his offer, thinking it won’t be a big deal to pretend to be his fiancé for a couple of days...

<b><blockquote>Taylor Blankenship hit all the right checkboxes. He made her feel sexy and smart, and oddly, he made her feel like she had control. Not being in charge of him, necessarily, but having a say. Like he valued what she thought and wanted. And she liked it. A lot.</blockquote></b>

But of course it can’t be that easy since the sparks between Taylor and Caitlin are freaking HOT and keeping things ‘professional and standoffish’ is becoming more difficult by the minute for these two characters, who start to fall for one another when spending more time together while visiting with Taylor’s amazing family and spending a lot of one-on-one time in their own cute romantic cabin. Falling in love was never an option. Caitlin has plans, was determined to leave her love life behind and Taylor is about to move to another city. But we don’t get a say in who we fall in love with and WHEN we fall in love with this someone. Both characters try and fight their attraction to one another, which makes for a really great and intense developing romance. I love it when people are so attracted to one another and there comes a moment when they just can’t fight it anymore. It makes me believe that sometimes things are REALLY meant to happen and it’s awesome. Their developing relationship/romance is filled with joy, laughter and a lot of attraction that just explodes right off the pages.

<b>This is a sweet, funny, romantic and sexy story about two characters who are fated to be together but who find themselves in a situation in which both of them feel like life got in their way and a future together just isn’t possible. But a connection this strong. it’s bound to put their worlds upside down and inside out and it demands you to rethink about what’s really important in life. Taylor and Catlin are so great together. Their banter, their attraction, their trust to one another are a joy to read about. I loved the way everything develops in this book; the story-line and their romance but also their character development. Then there's also the presence of Beau, the Saint Bernard who belongs to Taylor, who stole my heart. He's such a great addition to this story!! This book hit all right checkboxes for me regarding the story-line, characters, minor characters, plot and romance and thanks to the addictive writing by this author, this is definitely a 5-star read. I can’t wait to read more books by Marissa Clarke.

This is that kind of book, you can pick up ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, ANYWHERE. That kind of book that you can start reading and start enjoying right from the very first page until the last. It’s a fast-paced read and perfect for every romance reader out there!</b>

**<i>an arc was received in exchange for an honest review</i>**

Three Day Fiancée was such a fun and flirty romance. I truly enjoyed the storyline if this book and was immediately drawn in. I absolutely loved Caitlin and Taylor. They had such great chemistry once Caitlin was strong enough to leave her guard down. What an enjoyable read

Caitlin was asked by her friend to walk a very difficult Saint Bernard for an extreme particular and difficult client. Caitlin hit it off right away with the dog…until she accidently runs into the Saint Bernard’s owner in the buff. Chemistry flies and it gives Taylor, the difficult client, an idea. He wants Caitlin to act as his pretend fiancé on his family weekend getaway. The family, his grandmother, has been on his case for him to find a wife. Caitlin is just what he needs to get his grandmother off his back. Little did he know she was exactly what he needs for the rest of his life.

I loved the family dynamics. This was one of those novels that you are spontaneously smiling away and everyone around you thinks you’ve lost your mind…yes, it’s that good.

Three Day Fiancee is the perfectly crafted contemporary love story.

It was a good casual book...wasn't actually a page turner for me since even before reaching half way I totally got the story line....the family bonds in the book was inspiring since we hardly see the bonding in families now. Otherwise it was a ok book

I received a copy of Three Day Fiancee by Marissa Clarke from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first time I have read anything by the author, Marissa Clarke, but I impressed and will look for future novels from her. Overall, I found Three Day Fiancee to be a very entertaining read with nicely written steamy scenes.

Fast paced with the plot threads to keep the story moving along, plus an adorable dog providing humor and acting as a secondary character on his own (who couldn't love that?!). Good chemistry - and comedy - between the lead characters and witty banter.

Would recommend without reservation.

Three Day Fiancee is a wonderfully light romantic comedy. I read this book as a bit of a refresher after finishing a few quite intense stories. It was ideally suited to this role. It is an engaging story with many funny and romantic moments, perfect for relaxation.

Marissa Clarke is a new to me author, but I enjoyed her writing so much I have already purchased Dear Jane (Animal Attraction #1) and Sleeping with the Boss (Andersons #1). I’m always looking for authors whose writing style I find both engrossing and relaxing. Through my work and study, I read a lot heavy, technical literature, and this combined with my love of intensely emotional fiction means that I’m always on the lookout for authors I can use to refresh and rest while still thoroughly enjoying what I’m reading. Marissa Clarke is shaping up to be a regular feature on my bookshelf.

Marissa’s writing flowed well, and the transitions between the points of view of Caitlyn and Taylor were smooth and at logical junctures. I can already tell this author has a sense of humour I appreciate. I’ve really come to enjoy the fake fiancee trope, when handled with humour, it presents so many opportunities for fun and often cringe-worthy situations. This book is a perfect representation of this with the shenanigans involving Taylor’s family being a highlight of the story. I loved how all characters were really well developed, and it was easy to form connections with them. Obviously, Jane’s story has already been told, and I need to play catch up with that one, but I’m really looking forward to Fiona’s book, which I’m assuming will be the next in the series. She is such a shy wallflower, it will be lovely to watch her bloom.

I’d recommend Marissa Clarke’s Three Day Fiancee to anyone who enjoys a good romantic comedy heavy on both the romance and the comedy.

Dog walker and anticipating CPA Caitlin has sworn off men after a failed marriage to a controlling and cheating high school sweetheart. Sparks fly when she runs into one of her customers, but she stays with her decision to not dating, especially when she finds out that he has several girlfriends on call. But she does agree to help him by faking to be his fiancée on his grandma’s family party.

This was a sweet, very predictable romance, well written but without surprises. The beginning promised some pretty funny interaction, but the dialogs were getting flatter as the story moved on. With only 173 pages is was a perfect easy going, undemanding novella to fill a rainy afternoon with.

Narrative: 3rd person POV mostly Caitlin, some Taylor
Sexual content: one pretty descriptive scene, several pages, but not overpowering, plus a couple of heavy kissing/touching scenes.
Location: contemporary New York City

Adorable! I completely fell in love with Caitlin and Taylor in this sweet romance.

Caitlin has returned to New York and is working at the pet company Animal Attraction with Fiona and Jane that was founded in the first book in the series. While she studies to take her CPA test she is a dog walker. You do get to see Jane a bit and Fiona is introduced as well, but the focus is on Caitlin and her fake engagement to Taylor.

After telling his grandmother that he's engaged, Taylor takes Caitlin to his family's weekend getaway outside the city. They are a loud, fun, and loving family, which is just what Caitlin needs. They are attracted to each other, but both are hesitant to let emotions get involved. It gets harder and harder for them to resist each other, though, and you'll find yourself rooting for them to get together.

The little sneak peaks we get of Fiona show us how shy she really is, and I can't wait for her book next!

Wow!!! I loved this book!!! It was so sweet!! I loved the whole concept about it!! The only thing that wasn't so great was it was to short!!! But it still have you the feel of a complete story!! Kate had some deep seeded issues that bugged me a little cuz they went on a little to long but I do understand why , she definitely had a rough go of things! When these two for together, wow!! It was hot!!!! It was such a heartwarming story and the dog and all the animals really made the story!! It was so funny, sweet, hot, steamy,and dreamy !!! Lol I definitely recommend reading this book! It's well worth the read!! Thank you so much NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!!

This story was so adorable. I loved the characters, especially Taylor and his family. The humor in this book was excellent.

Adorable!
I don't know what it is with me and this particular trope, but I love it. When it's done well, of course, and this one was done well.
In it we meet Caitlin, a dog walker, accountant, against all dating kind of a girl. She's had a bad experience, so to protect herself, she's put up some walls. Then we meet Taylor, ex-military, hotness personified, pilot with a big fluffy dog.
The moment the two met I loved the dynamic between them. For someone who is keeping her heart closed off, Caitlin is still a nice person, but she's also learning how to stand up for herself. And Taylor, goodness this wonderful man, listens to her and understands what she needs. If that doesn't make you swoon, I don't know what will.
I loved all of the characters in this, and Taylor's family made me laugh out loud a few times.
This is a sweet, heartwarming story and it put a smile on my face. If you haven't added it to your TBR, I suggest you do!

The one thing that kept running through my head the entire time I was reading this book was that it would make a great movie for Hallmark or PassionFlix. It's got a sexy-as-sin hero, a damaged yet strong heroine, an adorably fun and supportive family, and a troublemaking dog. What more could you want? I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and this is a nice addition. Taylor and Caitlin's trip to HEA land was truly a lot of fun. I'll be anxiously awaiting Fiona's story.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing an ARC for review.

An entertaining read!
After a mix up with a dog eating an engagement ring, Caitlin agrees to pose as Taylor's fiancee for 3 days to keep his family from trying to match-make him. Trouble is, the more time they spend together, the more she can see herself falling for him. She has a great group of friends around her, but is still recovering from her divorce, so is wary of letting anyone in.
First book I have read by this author, but looking forward to reading more.

I was in a book slump and had already picked up and rejected several books; then I picked up Three Day Fiancée and didn't put it down until I'd finished it. From the moment Caitlin and Taylor meet, their relationship is pure romantic comedy gold. As with any book that focuses on the pretend engagement trope, the plot requires a certain suspension of disbelief, but isn't some element of the fantastic what you want out our your rom-coms? (Because it's definitely what I want out of mine.) And from Caitlyn's no good, horribly, very bad day she's having when she meets Taylor; to the scavenger hunt and games of truth or dare at Grams' anniversary weekend party; to the zany antics at the Animal Attraction's first annual pet shelter fundraiser ball, this book sure delivers!

Caitlin is a great leading lady, and it's amazing how real she is being strong, sexy, and funny and at the same time so damaged and vulnerable because of the scars of her past. And Taylor. *Dreamy sigh* I think Fiona says it best: "Right… Nobody likes a guy who treats his dog like a family member and adores his grandmother and little sister." Taylor is just swoon worthy, and I love how patient he is with Caitlin's steam trunk of baggage. I fell in love with Taylor's family every bit as hard as I fell in love with the main characters, which made for a really enjoyable read. They're all so fun, and I found myself grinning like a moron through pretty much this entire book.

This is the second book in the Animal Attraction series, but can be read as a stand alone. There aren't spoilers for the first book, Dear Jane , as far as I could tell, though Jane is a side-character in this book. I assume the third book will be about the third founder of Animal Attraction, the painfully shy Fiona, and I can NOT wait to read that. It also has mention of or brief appearances by the characters from an earlier series, the Anderson Brothers: Sleeping with the Boss (Anderson Brothers #1) , Neighbors with Benefits (Anderson Brothers #2) , and Chance of a Lifetime . Upon finishing this book I immediately went and bought all four of these books, and I think that says more about how amazing Three Day Fiancée was than any review ever can. ;)

This was a sweet and cute fake fiancé story. This was my first book by this author and I didn’t know that it was the second book in the series. I had no trouble following along. This is a good book for animal lovers, there was some shenanigans from them at the end. I thought Taylor and Caitlin were cute together and they some insta love kicking after 2 days together. I’d be interested in reading a book about their friend, Fiona. She’s all kinds of shy and awkward and I’m sure that would be a great book on whoever she ends up with. Overall, not too shabby of a story for me.

4 stars!
If you are looking for a cute romantic comedy, this is the book for you!
Taylor Blankenship has a situation. His grandmother decided to come visit just as his dog walked ( who he met for the first time that day, is wearing the engagement ring she gave to him. In a series of crazy coincidences, Taylor is now asking Caitlin Ramos for a huge favor. Act like his fiancé for the weekend. Make his family happy and he will return the favor by helping out her animal shelter.
The only problem is that Caitlin and Taylor end up falling in love. To add to their craziness, Taylor is moving to Boston and Caitlin is based in NYC.

Can it work out for these crazy cute couple? Let's put it this way, HEA is in their future!
