Seven Day Fiancé (Love and Games #2) by Rachel Harris
Angelle Prejean is in a pickle. Her family is expecting her to come home with a fiancé—a fiancé who doesn’t exist. Well, he exists, but he definitely has no idea Angelle told her mama they were engaged. Tattooed, muscled, and hotter than sin, Cane can reduce Angelle to a hot mess with one look—and leave her heart a mess if she falls for him. But when she ends up winning Cane at a charity bachelor auction, she knows just how to solve her fiancé problem.
Cane Robicheaux is no one’s prince. He doesn’t do relationships and he doesn’t fall in love. When sweet, sultry-voiced Angelle propositions him, he hopes their little game can finally get her out of his head. He doesn’t expect her to break through all his barriers. But even as Angelle burrows deeper into his heart, he knows once their seven days are up, so is their ruse.
5 out of 5 stars
This was such a fantastic story! I loved Cane and Angelle together! They had such an magnetic attraction and great chemistry and I really enjoyed the story line. Cane is so sexy, sweet, and such a caring man (and a new book boyfriend! love him!). Angie is shy but strong and determined to do things on her own terms. This story is told from both their POV’s and I enjoyed both their perspectives.
I thought the beginning was great and from there everything unfolded nicely. There is a really good build and a nice pace with just the right amount of conflict, I couldn't put it down. There are some emotional moments, especially when they're sharing about their pasts. How they work through their feelings with one another provided the perfect bit of anticipation as well. Cane and Angelle are both such strong characters, watching them both grow and open up was so heartfelt. There were a lot of playful parts throughout the story too – I loved Cane meeting her family! I found myself smiling through most of the book.
This is book two in a series but can be read as a standalone. Half way through I decided I had to read the first book, Taste the Heat, because I was enjoying this one so much. I really liked all the other characters that were introduced and wanted to know more about them and their lives. It looks like there will be a book 3 in the series as well.
I thought the ending was wonderful and the epilogue was just icing on the cake – I might have actually clapped! This book left me feeling totally happy! Such a sweet love story! Gotta love a bad boy and a shy girl coming together! :-)
