This book get me warm on this cold winter May day loves. I loved the chemistry Steve and Becky had. I was mostly drawn to Becky's strength as she was willing to do anything for he son *sigh* but her baby daddy was just immature. Loved this book as everyone has a happy ever after eventually, also bryson(the son) is so lovable

This is a sweet romance that is perfect for the beach. It's light and somewhat predictable with the standard rich, powerful guy vs poor single mother. However, while predictable, I liked the author's writing style and enjoyed it. I liked the characters and found myself wanting them to get their HEA ending.

Having said all that, I felt that the way this book wrapped up with the grandparents was too quick and unbelievable. Additionally, there was the ranch problem that was never resolved - however, it's possible that the writing intended this as a hook for the next book (not a cliff hanger). Regardless, while I enjoyed this book, I give this 3.5 stars and will round up to 4 stars.

A nice, clean romance that is more than a little bland. An engagement of convenience to help a struggling single mother trying to pay for her son’s hospital bills and a man running for office needing to show voters that he is a happy family man. The plot is predictable but it a comfortable trajectory as you follow them towards their happy ever after.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was all rather predictable. Plucky, but down-on-her-luck single mom, Becky, agrees to a marriage of convenience to the brother of the guy who knocked her up but refused to give her any money for her child even though he now needs an expensive operation that Becky can’t afford. Apparently, Steve is running for district attorney and his manager tells him that he needs a wife in order to win over voters. Really? Who even knows the candidates for the DA in a big city like Houston? And who would know if he were married or not? And why would the paparazzi be swarming to get photos of the guy and his new girlfriend?

I just didn’t buy that plot line in the slightest. And then there is the mystery that Steve is investigating to figure out who is grabbing up the land in the area. That is never resolved in the novel.

I liked Becky and her cute five-year-old son. Steve seems a nice guy. But the whole plot just strained credulity.

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.
