I really enjoyed this fake bride romance. I voluntarily chose to review it and I’ve given it a 4.5* rating. The billionaire boss is out of sorts, problems with an ex wife, thinking he’s still in love with her. Lots going on around him till something shakes him up.It’s a pretty clean read too. It left a good feeling when I finished.

With a broken family and a scandal of embezzlement the PR thinks its Ryder who is bringing down the polls in the election. So they have the perfect fake wife for him…Willow. He cant believe his ears, she’s here after all the time they were separated. What starts as a fake relationship they both start reminiscing on the past and are trying to get passed it and Willow releases she cant write the piece her boss wanted her to write.
In this story second chances go all around in the family.
Willow and Ryder became high school sweethearts. When they went to college things went to going out of control and they broke up. He moved back to Nani Makai home of the wealthy to live with his parents and Ryder and Willow had not talked in 8 years. But the love they had back then never left either one of them even though Ryder finally married Miranda, another rich kid from the island. He seen quickly that he was not in love with her, he still loved Willow. He divorced Miranda and found out the person she was having an affair with was his older brother which had been fotter for the tabloids, especially since she felt the need to reveal secrets of the Prescott family. It had also broke the family up as they wanted to have nothing to do with Isaac or Miranda.
Ryder’s parents decided he needed a fake wife to get him out of the tabloids as it was over a year since his divorce so they hired Willow who was a reporter for a New York newspaper to come and be his fake wife. She agreed to all their requirements, even the non disclosure form, however the newspaper wanted an undercover article of the scandal that was the Prescott’s. Just as they start to fall in love for real Ryder sees the message on her phone about where was the Prescott scandal article? He blew up to think she was doing him just like Miranda was. He felt he could not trust her even though she showed him her phone that she had not sent any article in as she just could not do that to Ryder or his family. He comes back to find her and they make up and she tells him the only article she would write would be one showing them as humans not rich monsters.
This story is an unusual billionaire type story as it is a second chance for Ryder and Willow but is very interesting and you find yourself rooting for Willow and then maybe Ryder and then wanting them to make a go of their marriage even though it started out as being fake. It is a very good book.
This is the third clean billionaire romance from Hanna Hart. All are stand alone. This is a well written but emotional story. Fiona applies for and gets the job of being Beckett’s wife but she is keeping two secrets from him – she is dying and she has a daughter. Beckett buys a bride to win back his family’s trust. Can these two find a happily ever after? The ups and downs of t he plot sure kept me turning the pages.
