    About this audiobook

    My grandfather left me his business with one insane condition:
    I need a wife and two kids. Too bad I’m a divorced single dad.
    Cue my ex-wife’s best friend moving in next door.
    And then mix in a few bad decisions.
    What do you get? A complicated, sexy mess.

    SANDRA

    The list of reasons I should stay away from my neighbor is about as long as his… wrench. He’s a dirty mechanic, he’s a single dad, and he can’t seem to keep his shirt on for more than five minutes.

    Did I mention his ex wife is my best friend? Yeah. Reid Riggins is absolutely, one hundred percent, the last person in the world I should get involved with. Even if he is heart-stoppingly gorgeous with strong, powerful hands that could rip my clothes off with ease.

    Not that I’ve imagined that, of course.

    The point is I don’t want anything to do with him. He can stay in his stupid garage with his stupidly cute son and hit things with wrenches all day. He can keep on wearing those blue jeans that fit him just right for all I care.

    Except I may have told a white lie to my eccentric, rich parents. I may have told them I’m engaged to a wealthy businessman, and now they want to meet my fake fiance. Unfortunately, Reid might be the only guy who’s willing to play along.

    No problem. It’s just for a few days. Just to get them off my back. What could go wrong?

    **This is a full-length, standalone fake marriage romance. No cheating or cliffhangers, and as always, Happily Ever After guaranteed.

      Overall a 3.5 for me. Fun read…easy, low angst, romance. Narration was good. Not one I’ll reread, but I enjoyed it.
    • 4/5
      (Reid & Sandra): Now this book is full of drama. Reid is a divorced single dad taking care of his four/five year old son and running the family auto shop. He does not get along with his ex wife. Sandra just moved in next door and is the owner of a bakery in town. As part of his grandfather's will, Reid has to be married with children by the age of 30. Sandra's bakery is about to be closed down for City restructuring and doesn't want to ask for help from her parents. Both of them need help, they don't get along.. but the chemistry is crazy. It's not an insta romance and there's a strong build up of both characters. The story is hilarious, sexy and dramatic. Sandra and Reid are a perfect match, despite their differences. The sex is ???? and the laughter comes at every page. Really enjoyed this one.

      Amazing book i really really enjoyed it loved it awesome
    • 1/5
      I have previously read this, but unfortunately it has not aged well. What man uses violence to solve all the problems or when he loses his temper. The tough guy who acts like a bully is in no way attractive. All I could think about was that after several years or weeks together, she will be the one he takes his anger out on. Story wise, there is no reason for the two to get together. I wish she had enough self respect and confidence to be able to ask for more in a man. For a supposed strong willed woman, she suddenly gave up on making sense.
