ABOUT:

A notorious former playboy

As heir to Ardinmuir, Connor MacKean had one job: fulfill the marriage pact that’s held his family captive for three-hundred years. Except his sister’s the one who took the plunge, and now there’s nothing standing in the way of him finding a real and lasting love. Nothing except the fact that the object of his affections has never seen him as anything more than her best friend’s little brother.

A hard-working Cinderella who doesn’t need a prince

The last thing Sophie Cameron has time for is a man. Her days are full keeping her flower shop afloat, expanding the event planning business she opened with her best friend, and keeping the promise she made to her late father to take care of her stepmother–even though Lorraine is more like a stepmonster.

A fake engagement that’s more real than either of them bargained for

The little white lie Connor told a former fling to escape his playboy reputation becomes a necessary reality when she shows up as maid of honor to plan a wedding at the estate. As a huge social media influencer, she could make or break Ardinmuir as a wedding destination, so Sophie agrees to pretend to be Connor’s fiancée. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Sophie begins to wonder if he’s the answer to the fairy tale she doesn’t think she deserves.

I absolutely LOVED Connor. He was such a great hero with his sexy accent, his explanation for his playboy ways which I didn’t think he needed to explain. He behaved as any single person would have but knowing he just wanted a choice in his life was explanation enough for me.

He was a great hero and who doesn’t love a best friend’s brother trope? I joyed that Connor fell before Sophie did and that she was older than him, even if it was just a few years. She was the one who had her eyes opened to the hotness he’d become.

And the greenhouse? Well please DO NOT get me started. That was heart-pounding, knee-buckling full on swoon alert!

And Sophie? She really was the village sweetheart, running her flower shop and event planning business while putting up with a horrible step monster. I felt for her, I really did and it was one of the few times I enjoyed seeing the man swoop in to save his woman.

This story was a little too focused on a lot of stuff that wasn’t Connor and Sophie but I’m hoping it’s all to set up the next two or three books in this series!
