A great book all round
This is the follow on story from Jennifer Snowās last book, and another in the Wild Wedding Nights series, Her Holiday Fling. You donāt have to have read that one to enjoy this one, although it does help you understand Kateās own disastrous almost-wedding.
Itās been done quite a lot but Iāve always been a fan of the fake fiancee storyline. This is a little bit different as Hayley and Chase meet on the way to Hawaii and mutually help each other out in situations that are completely believable. Hayley wants to shed her āman-haterā image at the work retreat with her bosses while Chase wants someone to keep the single bridesmaids at bay during his sisterās destination wedding.
During the first chapter I honestly wasnāt sure whether I would like Hayley; she seemed a touch too uppity and snobby. But very quickly we got to know the real Hayley, what made her tick and who she really was. She was pretty much against marriage and maybe even commitment but she had her reasons for being so and she wasnāt ridiculously stuck in her beliefs.
Chaseās reasons for his fear of commitment seem a little bit deeper as his are all rolled up in losing his partner (as in cop partner) while also having his girlfriend (of the time) leaving him. His character as a whole is great – hot body, heart of gold, sexy as hell and a protective streak a mile wide – what more could you want? It might be mean of me but I loved the way he became tortured over his feelings for Hayley while trying to cling to his reasons for not entering into a relationship.
The pair had such amazing chemistry and the sex scenes lit the pages on fire. There were just enough to keep the book interesting without it being overkill. Delicious!
I also really liked the storyline of Chaseās sister Kate and canāt wait to read her story in Jenniferās next book, Tempting Kate.
There are plenty of great things about this book. The pace is fast and interesting, the writing sparkles and the characters really come to life on the pages. What I especially liked is that the ending didnāt compromise who either Hayley or Chase were while still being really satisfying. And the ending was cute as a button!
Overall a great story with great characters. Recommended.
