Welcome home to Marietta, MT. This third book of Hansen Brothers series. Alice and Crease are starting a datting service in his home town of Marietta. They decide to pretend to be a couple but although each would like to make it real they are afraid of ruining the pact they made and the plans Alice has. Can they overcome this and find Love? It was fun catching up with the brothers and their wives from the earlier books in the series also. This was a very enjoyable read and I would defiantly recommend it. I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
Once I got into this story I really enjoyed it. Alice Winter was a very smart woman who loved to work with numbers and analyze data. Too bad she is not as smart when it comes to her love life.
Her coworker in their Sting Attached dating service is Crease Hansen aka The Love Doctor, as he has been dubbed. He appears as an outgoing guy so sure of himself on the outside but inside he is that same guy who Alice would not go out with in college.
I enjoyed their banter and there scheme to pretend they were a couple to help promote their business. It was fun to see whether they would just stay friends or risk their friendship for something better. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Oh my goodness what could be better than a hot cowboy who runs a dating service with his best friend? This is the third book in the Hansen brothers series and it is so much fun. Crease and Alice learned quickly in college they were good at matchmaking so why not come to Marietta and set up shop? This fun lighthearted read had me laughing in parts and waiting to see which couples got together.
Best friends or possible lovers? It’s a dilemma for Alice and Crease. This is a cute novel of finding true love but botching it up along the way.

I am an avid reader of books that are set in Marietta Montana. I have also read a few books by this author before.
My overall opinion was that it was an okay story. I don’t understand how Crease and Alice are supposed to have a dating service, yet they are the worst followers of their own lessons. The angst that went on in the minds of the characters could’ve been handled in an open and honest dialogue between them.
