Better Together
Crista McHugh
(One Fond Embrace, #1)
Publication date: August 20th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Hawaiian rancher Alex Kahale needs a temporary wife to close a deal that’s vital to the welfare of his herd. Thankfully, he’s already married to a woman stole his heart in less than a week, even if that same wife filed for divorce a few days after they said their “I dos”.
Rising country music star Britney Moore had a wild fling with a cowboy in Las Vegas a year ago which ended in a drunken drive-through marriage. Once she returned to Nashville, she filed for divorce to save her squeaky clean image. Besides, spontaneous marriages never last, and she knows better than to risk her heart on Alex. But no matter how many requests she sends him, he refuses to sign the papers. Then he sends her an intriguing offer. Come to his ranch on Kauai and pretend to be his wife for two weeks for business purposes, and he’ll sign the papers.
As much as Britney tries to resist his charm, Alex manages to tear down her defenses one by one until she falls for him all over again. But when the press finds out about her secret husband, will their revived romance be killed by the tabloids?

REVIEW

I really enjoyed this romance. Alex is a rancher in Hawaii - who wouldn't love that and Britney/Shelby is a rising country music star. One week in Vegas (what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas) and they were married. Soon after that Britney filed for divorce. Not that she didn't have feelings for Alex cause she does. But, her agent keeps pushing her so she can be an A-lister. Alex didn't sign the papers and has now come up with a plan.

Alex needs her help to get some cattle for his ranch and needs a wife for a week to get the deal of a lifetime and enlists Britney's help to do it. That's where things get interesting and where they find out that the week in Vegas was not enough. I enjoyed this story and liked imagining being in Hawaii and on that cattle ranch, I could imagine I was there. The book was well written and I ate up those pages. This book had passion and lots of funny moments in it. It was a fun, fast, romantic read for me and glad I got a chance to watch these two fight for their love. I totally recommend this book.

I give this book 4.5 of 5 stars!
