Blurb:

Madison Nichols, aspiring actress, is floundering. Her rent is due and she needs a job. Desperately. After getting a tip about an open position, she rushes to Jameson Technologies and meets CEO Jared Jameson. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, she is put in the awkward position of pretending to be his girlfriend. Not the job she was applying for. And when she finds out Jared lied to her to get what he wanted, she decides to get back at him. In front of his family.
Jared is stunned when Madison announces they are getting married. She pushed her revenge too far. How can he tell them it’s all a lie? And when his sick aunt asks them to be married before she dies, Madison comes up with a hair-brained plan to hire an actor and stage a fake wedding.
What they both don’t know is Jared’s father has found out about the fake wedding. And he’s got his own hair-brained plan.
This is a sweet romance, appropriate for any age.

My Review:

I found the complete lack of communication to be tired and too drawn out. And the forced marriage bit was too far for the parents and quite distasteful.  I don’t know why some pretend engagements are funny to me and some are just plain dumb.  This was the latter IMO.  

The beginning was pretty funny though with the whole pretending to be his girlfriend and making up stories about him.  Then it got took way too far way too fast with her throwing out that they were engaged.  After that I kinda checked out. I didn’t feel a connection to these characters so I didn’t believe their story, which is unfortunate.  These kinds of tropes can really knock it out of the park if done right. Maybe it was the writing style….

This one just was only ok.
