Series:
Charming, Texas (Book 7)
Her Prince Charming…
In a make-believe fairy tale?
Talented divorce attorney and town newcomer Michelle
LaCroix needs roots in Charming to make partner, according to her old-fashioned
boss. And that means a boyfriend! Problem is, she's got to produce her beau in
the flesh. Enter the town's most eligible bachelor, former professional athlete
Finn Sheridan, who's only too happy to play pretend with his best friend's ex
-- for a price. To his surprise, the more he's thrown together with Michelle,
the more he's intrigued by a woman who's far more than her ice-queen exterior.
But with Finn's trust still shattered by a brutal divorce, the make-believe
match is just a fun diversion…until it becomes all too real!
Good book. Michelle came to Charming to reconcile with an
old boyfriend. When that didn't work out, and she lost her job in Austin, she
decided to stay in Charming and join a local law firm. Michelle is ambitious
and wants to make partner, but her old-fashioned boss thinks she needs to be in
a committed relationship first. So she has been talking up the boyfriend that
exists only in her mind but avoiding the necessity to produce a real one. That ends
one evening when she encounters her boss, and he insists on meeting him.
Desperate, she latches onto Finn and begs him to play the part.
Finn is happy to go along with the ruse. He's been
attracted to Michelle since he met her, but she's his best friend's ex and,
therefore, off limits. In addition, thanks to a recent contentious divorce, Michelle
being a divorce lawyer gives him pause.
I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. They had
to spend time together to sell the illusion of their relationship, and as they
did, they discovered that there was something real growing between them. I
enjoyed their scenes together, especially when Finn attempted to break Michelle
of her workaholic habits. I liked their teasing and seeing the changes in Michelle
as her relationship with Finn grew. Things look good for them until the truth emerges,
and Michelle's job is at stake. I liked the ending and the twist that helped
everything work out.
