In this steamy romance we get Brenna Bellini's story of the Bellini sisters. Brenna knew shouldn't have married Mitchell Walker. Divorced and back into the dating scene Brenna just can't seem to find a nice guy. She has no plans to ever get married again, but she'd like to have some fun. Brenna is excited about her friend Esther's upcoming wedding that she is in until she finds out that Esther's matron of honor can't come and she asked Allison Walker to be a replacement. Not only are Brenna and Allison high school nemesis, but Allison is now married to Mitch! Not wanting to spend the weekend as the "single person", Brenna hatches a plan and knows just who to get to help her. Finn Nolan has had a crush on Brenna since he first arrived to America from Ireland after losing his parents at 18. When Finn came to live with his mom's best friend, Maureen Bellini, he was immediately taken by the fiery, redheaded Brenna and knew they were destined to be together. He also had his heart broken when she married Mitch but now that they are divorced, Finn is ready to make his move. When Brenna approaches Finn with the crazy suggestion of pretending to be engaged for four day festivities for Esther's wedding, he jumps at the chance. Now if he can only convince Brenna that the feelings they are pretending are really real. Of course the more time these two spend together, the closer they get and the more fun they are having until Brenna finds something out then everything blows up. It will take a lot of grovelling and quite the trip, but these two will finally get together for real in a perfect ending. I loved this steamy romance. I just adored Finn. He knew what he wanted and was just biding his time. I understood where Brenna was coming from but because of her past, she had a hard time letting go. Together these two just sizzled on the pages. I can't wait to read Honor's story.
