But when the sexy silver fox whose staying in the villa surprises her with an irresistible offer to pose as his fake fiancée, Emma sees a way to have her week in paradise and begin healing her broken heart.
Mark believes every person has only one soul mate…and he’s met, married, and buried his. Emma believes that love is a marketing concept created to sell fairy tales and expensive weddings. What if they are both wrong…and completely right for each other?

Predictable
I enjoyed this book – it kept my interest !
I enjoyed the new approach to finding a new soul mate after the loss of the one person you never thought you could replace, as well as, healing from a HEA that never was. I thought the character development was wonderful – releasing facts relating to each character as needed to enhance the plot. I found this book hard to put down and then I didn’t want it to end. Good job!
Love an older and wiser guy who knows how to treat a woman!
Refreshing! Second chance at love!
Dealt with the age old problem of love lost to death and the problems of returning to life and the future. Enjoyed the twisted and turns of the couple in this tale.
Easy read. Just ok
Entertaining
I almost gave this 4 stars – I am weary of every book getting to a hook-up in 24 hours. I wish someone would build up to the main event a little more. But this book is different enough that it kept me interested throughout and the sex wasn’t vulgar and classless like so many books now. It’s a 5-star read and I recommend it!
