A pretend relationship…within a pretend relationship.Attorney Evan Stone knows every crazy stipulation in billionaire Rudy Carmichael’s will. After all, he wrote it. And he’s determined to make sure each one is fully met by Rudy’s triplet daughters. Even if that means dating the workaholic CEO, Ava. Or pretending to at least. And even if it means resisting the so-right-for-him-she’s-totally-wrong … so-right-for-him-she’s-totally-wrong party girl, Cori.
Cori’s only got three things on her to do list from her dad:
- Move to Bliss, Kansas.
- Run his pie shop with her sisters for a year.
- No dating. For six months.
But stepping in for her sister when it’s clear that Ava and Evan aren’t fooling anyone with their “romance” isn’t really dating. And falling for her sister’s pretend boyfriend while pretending to be her sister…well, that’s ridiculous. No matter how real things feel whenever she and Evan are together.

I knew I’d enjoy a story by Ms. Nicholas however what I didn’t know was how much I would love these three sisters. Diamonds and Dirt Roads is not only the first story, in what I’m going to guess will be a trilogy (duh), but it also lays the foundation for this wonderful story about triplet sisters and a life chosen for them by their recently deceased father. I won’t go into too much of the story because it has to be read in order to be enjoyed, IMHO.
It is funny, it is poignant, it is heartfelt, it is maddening, it is snark all rolled into one. This first story is about three sisters…triplets…and how their lives are about to change, in a BIG way. Their father has just passed away and he’s left some pretty big “restrictions” in his will that they must follow in order to inherit. At first I thought I knew how this was gonna play out. Nope! I’m happy to write that what could have been a cliché turned out to be so much more than I could have hoped. These three sisters, and their relationships to each other, will surprise you. I know they did for me. There’s the requisite tug and pull that siblings have but the author wrote such a strong bond between them… It was a great read for me.
Diamonds and Dirt Roads is about Cori Carmichael and Evan Stone. Or is it about Evan and Ava? You’ll have to read it for yourself. To me, the book lays out the framework for the series so it can get a little involved in all the backgrounds but it held my interest through the book. It’s all information you need, as the reader, in order to put the story into perspective.
I was pretty mad at their father. Why is it that folks try to make up for a lifetime of “wrong” by making people jump through hoops that they set? When I get this involved, it means the author did a great job of pulling me into the story. No worries! These are intelligent people who come up with their own loopholes. And pie.
Enjoy this story! You won’t be sorry.
