A delightfully entertaining and heartwarming story that’ll having you laughing one moment and then sighing the next. Ms Clarke has perfected her comedic delivery so that the situational elements that bring about the hilarity mesh perfectly with the characters personalities making them unique and relatable...weaving together romance and comedy as believable, is difficult yet this author has done so in such a manner that you’re captivated with the story and its characters from the onset.

Of the books I’ve read by Ms Clarke, this one is by far my favorite. I’m always on the lookout for her stories as I know that not only will I be entertained , I will also be left with characters who are sure to leave an imprint in my mind.

I love the fake fiancée trope and Marissa’s words, so I jumped on this one as soon as I saw it.

I really liked Caitlin and Taylor. They’re both driven and lovely people. Together they have excellent chemistry and love for animals. Seriously, I think Beau absolutely stole every scene he was in. Or perhaps it was Grams...

Plot wise, it was adorable. I loved the weekend festivities and a meddling family was an added bonus. There was a bit of push and pull, but Caitlin and Taylor talked so much, there wasn’t room for any miscommunications and it was so refreshing to read.

Overall, it was a super cute quick read with an epilogue that was perfection. My main complaint is that I wanted more. I could have easily read more with these two.

This book delivers exactly what you might have expected about a dog-walker who’s sworn off men, who ends up agreeing to pretend to be the fiancée of the handsome helicopter pilot whose friendly, but huge St. Bernard that she’s been walking while she works to pass the CPA exam so she can do the books for the animal-care business she and her best friends have started.

Taylor Blankenship asks her to pretend to be his fiancée for the three day weekend celebration that his grandmother puts on every year just to make his grandmother happy. Why he thinks his grandmother would be happy to learn to like a woman who would then somehow disappear from his life is never clear. But Caitlin agrees. They travel to upstate New York and, you guessed it, have such a great time together that they both fall for each other. Complications ensue, but you knew how it would end before you started reading.

The best part of this book was the loving and fun relationship that Taylor’s entire family has as they compete in an imaginative scavenger hunt. Caitlin falls for the family and the guy. You will too.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Taylor is ex-military, helicopter pilot, owner of a Saint Bernard who thinks that he is a lapdog and Caitlin is a dog walker preparing for her CPA exams. By a quirk of fate they end up pretending to be engaged.
Three day fiancée is a perfect read that will make you laugh and swoon. The story flowed so well that I had a hard time putting it down. The secondary characters including Beau, the dog were perfect, providing some laugh out loud moments.
I loved reading the three day fiancée and would definitely recommend it.

Caitlin has a run of bad luck, she is due some good. Or at least some fun. Taylor is able to help with the fun. His family is a hoot. I would love to go on a family vacation like Taylor gets to every year with his family.

Hot damn what a great book this is! I loved it. Between Taylor (someone throw me some ice water) and the dog.
Caity works with her tow best friends, Caity is working on getting her CPA so she can get a real job as she calls it. Right now she's a dog walker for her friends business. Fiona is a Vet, Jane runs the business and Caity walks the dogs. Taylor Blankenship's dog has a bad rep and Caitlyn is the only dog walker that can handle him. He's been through several agencies, no one can handle Beau like she can.
Taylor is a helicopter pilot for a friend of his he was in the military with, he and his brothers own a very successful company. Taylor is on call 24/7 leaving zero time for a relationship. One morning when Caity shows up to walk Beau, Taylor is still at home, Taylor starts commanding her that she needs to stay with the dog all day because he swallowed something very valuable. Turns out it's an engagement ring. She manages to get the ring without too much trouble because Beau likes to squirrel things in his cheek, lo and behold, there's the ring. No poop plundering needed. She tries the ring on and can't get in off, meanwhile Taylor's Gran shows up and thinks she's his fiancé ,which is a lie Taylor told as he shows up shortly after his Gran arrives and this sets off the story line for the book. Caity is invited to Gran's 62nd anniversary party in the Catskills with Taylor and the rest of the family. She's not happy.
She's been burned so badly before, and so reluctant and protective of herself. Doesn't respond well to commands, which Taylor has a little habit of, but her really does try. So the weekend they spend together is hysterical . The family has a whole routine of games they play and Gran is the ringleader.
Taylor is due to be transferred to Boston from NY by his employer, who is also his friend. When he tells Caity that, she shuts him off. He's leaving in a week. He's a mess, she's a mess. Gran's meddling a tad. Her friends are trying to help. I loved every single minute of it.
The book is a great read. Funny, poignant at times, watching two people try to make the best of what they have together and the dog! Let's not forget Gran! Well written, low angst, lots of love and a man who loves his dog.
I loved it. Yes you should read it. Absolutely!!

advanced copy from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a delightful book that made me smile and laugh out loud, while also swooning over Taylor. I even swooned over the dog....what could be better than a Saint Bernard that thinks he's a lapdog?

Taylor is a pilot getting ready to move to Boston and Caitlin is a dog walker preparing for her CPA exam. When she meets Taylor and ends up pretending to be his fiancee, they both get more than they bargained for, but exactly what they need. Taylor's grandma found ways to pull their strings and is just wonderful....everyone should have a grandmother like her.

This is a perfect read for when you just want to smile. I love this authors' books and she is on my must read authors' list. This is a must read for fans of the genre.
