Blurb:

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

He needs the kind of rescue only she can provide…

Glass artist Savannah Smith expected a marriage proposal for Thanksgiving—just not from her strong, silent, super-hot neighbor. But when misplaced mail and a wayward can of paint lands them in a compromising position right as her family arrives for dinner, they assume he’s “The One” she’s been talking about.

Then his family shows up.

Fate dealt a crippling blow to paramedic Beau Montgomery’s heart, and he isn’t about to put it at risk again. Except, with his mother crying tears of joy over his surprise engagement to the sexy little blonde next door, he can’t bring himself to ruin her “Christmas miracle.”

Somewhere between the paint can to the head and the chaotic family trip to the ER, Beau manages to talk Savannah into being his fake fiancée long enough to survive the holidays.

If, of course, they don’t fall in love first…

My Review:

Favorite Quote:

“Such as I practically burst into flames every time he looks at you—and he looks at you constantly. It’s a miracle I’m not bruised from wandering into the middle of all the eye-banging.”

This one started out with a bang and just kept right on going.  It was fast paced but not so much so that you got lost in it ya know? It had easy going witty banter and great sex scenes.  All components that make up a great book IMO.

I felt both sides of these characters dilemmas.  They were very family oriented and wanted to make their parents happy. But I must say that I think that the climax was a bit extra.

I loved how artsy and quirky Savannah was.  She was the yin to his yang.  She offered a pleasant balance to his rigid structure.  And I enjoyed how detailed their professions were in this story.  We learn a lot about what they do and how they feel about it.  These little details really rounded out the story for me.

And Beau was heartbreakeningly adorable.  I do think the author could have gone into a bit more depth with his loss but I understand how that could be a slippery slope in a love story.  He is a bit grouchy but once you know hism you understand why he is this way.  And you really can’t blame the guy. His family dynamic was awesome and you could see how much he wanted to please his parents.

When they were together it was effortless, and kudos for throwing how they knew each other when they were little, that was a cute tidbit.  Yeah, the sex scenes and the chemistry were fantastic but honestly, this story stood on its own without that, just another detail that pushed it from like to love.  I will be reading more from this author in the future.
