A good, sexy, standalone. ~ Gabi, Guiilty Pleasures
Description:
Former beauty queen Becky Holmes and her baby are on the run from her dangerous ex. With her dreams of love and marriage destroyed, she’ll do anything to protect her child…even agree to hide out in her boss’s cousin’s house while he’s away.
Wealthy, sexy, and emotionally haunted Logan Knight needs a temporary wife to get his land, per his dad’s rules. No wife, no inheritance. But when that wife lands on his doorstep and comes with a baby, his darkest memories are triggered. He tries to keep his distance, but his efforts are shattered when he starts to have real feelings for his fake wife and child.
Just as Logan begins to think he may have a future with Becky, his attempt to have it all backfires into a betrayal that forces Becky into a heart-wrenching choice no woman should ever have to make.

I was interested in this book at first because I’m a sucker for Marine books. This book however exceeded my expectations. There are several plot twists that kept me in this book. The sexy parts were written well and the growth between the characters was timed well and in much better fashion than many stories.
The story between Logan and Becky was written and thought out well. They did not fall into “love at first sight”, but did have a connection that grew. To me that played important into the story. I was able to follow the feelings without whiplash and wanted to follow the story through. I felt that the chemistry and emotions felt true and not forced. I did however at times feel the dialogues seemed somewhat stiff, but this didn’t take away much from the story for me.
Logan is sexy! A marine, and a cowboy both in one that loves to pleasure his woman, um… sign me up! He is amazing and even with his inner demons proving to himself he can’t love or care he continues to grow daily into this amazing man. Becky is just true beauty inside and out and her soft strength pulled this story and Logan together.
This book carried some very popular plot points, broken returned marine, fake marriage, terrifying ex, meddling outsiders. But even with all of the plots that at times feel redundant through the book world this book kept me interested. I look forward to reading more books from Jennifer Apodaca in the future!
