This was one of my favorite “fake marriage” stories that I have read. Trudie’s (h) background helped t make the story different from other fake marriage stories. It added some depth to her character and made the plot more interesting. I also liked the way Sofia T. Summers her (H) Laird a little “awkward”. ” male His nervous habit of getting tongue tied around women made him so likable and relateable. Thank goodness someone didn’t make this the “perfect alpha again. That has been done to death! Laird is a real guy, rich, but real. He is kind, loving, family oriented, and generous to a fault. add to that an Irish brogue and a trip to Ireland, and swooooo,! Trudie is a survivor – brave, determined, independent, and longing to be loved. From the very first time they meet, you can feel their connection. Even if you know they get together (because, after all, it is a romance story) you will still find yourself rooting for them throughout the book!
This is the second book in the series and I would highly recommend them both. I hope that Jack gets his own story!
ONE FUN-FILLED BLOCK BUSTER!!!
Pesky pixies! Sofia pours it on thick, tasty and delectable with this beautifully composed crème de la crème, rolling out one compelling storyline and gripping plot, ratcheting up the heat and magic, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Blasting through boundaries and pushing the limits, displaying the illusions and testing realities, being weighed and balanced, booting this gem into the eye of the storm, slamming it into overdrive, launching it into a frenzy with a eye-opening realization. Braided, bound and tightly woven, displaying the explosive ups and agonizing downs, grounding in it’s simplicity and awe-inspiring in it’s depth. Shenanigans, escapades and havoc run amuck, rousting the drama, anxiety, intrigue, turmoil, secrets, underlying threats, mounting suspense and intense situations along with a double dose of quick wit, you have one jaw dropping masterpiece. The attraction and chemistry builds as each layer is peeled back exposing intense undeniable emotions, binding them to one another perfectly. The characters are complex and genuine with traits and qualities that add depth and realism that blend and flow, transforming into amazing personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions that feel as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Remarkable job Sofia, thanks for sharing this lil’ fella with us.
This book was absolutely fantastic and it hooked me from the first page until the end and I still want more lol. When Laird Irish parents tell the family that he is married he now has to find a woman to play his fake wife but when he meets Trudie she is everything he could ever want and more but whdn her past haunts her will she go through with it or will her past catch up with her? This book was absolutely one of the best books I have read this summer and it has all the right feels.

Laird need a fake wife for his cousin’s wedding. On the run from an abusive boyfriend, Trudie agrees to accompany Laird to his cousin’s wedding. The $50,000 could help her in so many ways, getting her own apartment, obtaining a restraining order, and stop hiding. But as the saying goes “What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive “ everything gets so confusing when feeling aren’t fake anymore. Loved this story

Fake Bride was at times playful and other times quite steamy but there was darkness too given Trudie’s past and what she was running from. The story had a nice flow to it and kept my interest from the first page to the last. The prologue set the stage and the epilogue gave me some of the closure I look for in a story. There was definitely a happily ever after but it seemed to get lost since it didn’t have the details I was hoping for. I loved the cover and especially Trudie’s smile.
The story was told by Trudie or Laird in alternating chapters. I liked that we got to know them a little at a time. There was definitely a depth to the characters and Laird seemed too good to be true and a billionaire besides but he proved himself several times over. I enjoyed his relationship with his family and his best friend, Jack and Trudie’s boss, Red, was a nice addition to the story as was her landlord, Edith. It was nice to see Trudie get a network of friends and people she can rely on given her past. I got to see Chicago and Ireland through their eyes since Laird played tour guide to Trudie in both places and there were beautiful descriptions and details. There were secrets, lots of romance, loving with hot between the sheet moments along with other places too, love plus lots of food.
Ms. Summers is a new author and I’ve enjoyed reading her first two books. I look forward to reading more.
This was a perfect stress releasing book. It was light even with the serious overtones which were well handled.
The characters were engaging and interesting a great book

Fake Bride by Sofia T. Summers was a touching, heartfelt story that gave me goose pimples and little heart palpitations throughout. It was sighingly romantic. It’s the story of Laird and Trudie. He’s a wealthy owner of a Sports Magazine. She is running from an abusive relationship and has changed her identity. She gets a job as a barista in a coffee shop. His parents announced he was married….but, ummmm no. So, he needs a bride…FAST!
This story is sooooooooooooo desperately sweet, touching, romantic, sizzling, frightening, engrossing…you name it….every element is there. Vividly detailed and heartachingly touching….this was a story I will remember for a long time!!!!!
