Another delightful story in this series. A lonely widower and a young woman compelled to marry to save her ranch. Already attracted to each other it was an easy logical deduction that they should “fake” marry. But in reality they both wanted the real thing. Lots of baggage to overcome and emotional interaction on the way to the HEA.
It was good to catch up with Darren and Sarena. Emmy Eugene’s stories always deliver on interesting characters, some conflict, romance and in the end the importance of family. I really enjoyed this book.
I liked this marriage of convenience romance. Even though we have departed from the Johnson brothers and moved onto a hired hand and sisters on a neighboring ranch, it was still really good. All of the new characters are really great and I am eager for the next books.

Secrets. A complication in their father’s will that makes no sense. A marriage requirement in order to inherit the family ranch. One prospect to fulfill the will, and he’s a widower who’s struggling to move forward. Will Sarena and Darren’s fake marriage survive the truth as it’s uncovered? This book covers a roller coaster of emotions as the plot unfolds in a heart wrenching and realistic manner.
At the reading of their father’s will, they discover a strange clause requiring one of the 3 sisters must marry in order to inherit the ranch or it goes to their uncle. Unwilling for that to happen Sarena agrees that she’ll marry but who will she marry. There is the cowboy who works on the adjoining ranch and she enjoys his company but she doesn’t really know him. Darren has no desire to get married and just agreeing to this scheme is a big deal. Secrets, schemes, and confrontations make for a great read. And when feeling begin to develop can either of them fight their heart with their head?

I don’t know about real cowboy romances, but I don’t think you can have a bad book one. Good writing and characters who are a little bit prickly. If you are working at home, this is a quick read and it will put a little joy in your day.
I received an ARC of this book and I am giving an honest review.
This book kept my interest from the beginning to the end. I loved how the characters were interwoven from other stories in this series. Darren and Serena have such a wonderful need and love for each other against all odds, but you will have to read the book to find out if they acted on their feelings. Already looking forward to Brian and Serendipity’s story.

I could not find a good page to truly sink myself into, during the beginning stages of this novel. I like to imagine it in my mind as a movie as the pages turn; however, I never could find footing to actually get that started here with this story. I would possibly like to try again later, hopefully it might be a better fit.
