DaneI woke up with the mother of all hangovers and a cringy memory. Yesterday, my old schoolmate came up to the city to invite me to his wedding. Poor guy was getting married to my ex. It’s a long, sorry, alcohol soaked story, but the guy tugged on my heartstrings, so I told him I’d go to his wedding back home, and bring my fiancée along. Problem No. 1: I didn’t have a fiancée and had NO … and had NO intention of getting one for a VERY long time to come.
So I did what all billionaires do when they have a pesky problem. I asked my faithful PA to sort it out. I swear, that woman can turn water into wine. Sure enough, she found an agency hiring out fake fiancées.
Mental note: give the woman a raise.
“Don’t get my type,” I told her. I don’t want any complications. It’s one dry weekend together, then I never want to see her again.
I thought my worries were over.
Until Problem No. 2 walked through the door.
The fake fiancee is an old hook up. Great. Just great.

Steamy second chances story
Dane meets up with his best friend Robert for drinks, when Robert surprises him with a wedding invitation to his wedding with Dane’s ex. Unexpectedly, Robert in a drunken moment reveals how worried he is that his fiancée is still in love with Dane. Dane says he has his own fiancée and that he will bring her to the wedding! However, he first has to find one….a fiancée that is. So like any self-respecting businessman, he gets his personal assistant to organise him a fake fiancée. Never in his wildest dreams, did he think it would be his Savvy who rocked up for the job
Savannah is hired to do a job, when she realises that Dane is her intended client for the upcoming weekend away, she promises herself she will act like the professional she is. Things take a turn, and things get steamy rather quickly
A great second chances story about the one person who got away, with a chance to rectify it in the present. Steamy story with a few ups and downs, which was expected when attending an ex’s wedding and Savannah being all around sassy which kept things light and humorous at times

Dane and Savannah were a dynamite couple together. Dane was looking for a no strings date to a friend’s wedding so he had his PA find him one. The dating agency sent Savannah but turns out she’s a hookup from the past. Sparks fly between them again. This time will things work out and become real? A good read.

Until next time… Happy Reading!
I liked this second chance romance. I thought that the story was a entertaining combination of cute and funny. Savannah and Dane were likable and had good chemistry. Drama, tension and steam all help to keep your attention focused as you root for this couple.
Fabulous fake fiancee with a surprise second chance romance! Dane needs a fake fiancee to face his best friend’s wedding…to his ex. The plan seems fool proof, until the actress that was hired turns out to be a one night stand that ghosted years ago. I loved the wit, the snark and all the drama that comes with facing the one you can’t forget while trying to get rid of the ex who is getting married! Loved this!!
This is a well written book with strong characters in Dane and Savannah who have a past .. and not a good one. The author brings a second chance romance which starts as a fake fiance and despite the rules they put in place,turns into so much more. She does a great job moving the story quickly and smoothly and I loved reading their story. Highly recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Hot, swoon worthy, and fun. Enjoyed the book. Not much of a story outside the couples attraction, but that was part of why I liked it. The development of the relationship was engrossing.
River Laurent is a truly gifted Author that only publishes top quality books, and her latest release, Pretend You’re Mine is an amazing book from the very beginning all the way through to superbly designed ending.
I truly try hard never to give too much away, so that I do not ruin it for other reader’s, that being said… Here we go…
Dane, a player, has run into yet another problem, his best friend has invited him to his wedding (with Dane’s ex). Drama right there, so of course, thinking on the fly, he confirms his attendance with his Fiancee… The one he doesn’t have. Tasking his P.A. with finding him his ‘fake date/Fiancee’ for the wedding should be alright, as long as the mystery woman knows to play her part. Discovering that the woman chosen is Savannah, his old flame, just adds more fuel the the fire he’s always held in his heart for her. Is this Dane’s second chance to correct the mistakes he has made and get his own HEA, or is Savannah over him? You’ve got to read this high heat, second chance romance. Sweet Baby Jesus, this release is so incredibly beautiful. There is so much to love about the writing style of this wonderfully talented Author.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Pretend You’re Mine in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion and I can guarantee that you will adore this impeccable release as much as I have.
I can not wait to see what River will gift us with next.
Sexy Fake Fiancé/Second Chance Story
I loved this storyline. River combined well these two troupes. The storyline keeps you interested to find out how the events will finally play out. Dane is a wealthy player that is tired of the ride but doesn’t know how to get off. His best friend wants him at his wedding but only if he’s bringing a girlfriend. In walks Savannah or Savvy. She is an “actress” that fills in for whatever the client needs. In Dane’s case a fake fiancé. Except Dane and Savvy know each other and have been ignoring feelings for each other. Circumstances will throw them together until they can’t resist each other pull. The hero and heroine are well developed and entirely believable within the story. There’s some very hot sexy scenes between these two. Loved the book and recommend it.
A wonderful second chance romance. This well written storyline had me addicted page after page. It full of drama, a little danger, an obsessive ex, best friend complications, and a fake engagement. It was fun and sassy with a great HEA. The characters were well developed, interesting and had incredible hot sizzling chemistry. An engaging and entertaining must read. River really hit this ARC that I voluntarily reviewed out of the park.

Absolutely adored this story. I loved Savannah and Dane together. They are funny with a snarky side. They are both charming and the chemistry between them is fantastic. The story is extremely well written with beautiful support characters. They just added to the story and didn’t distract you. The length of the story is really good. Not so short you feel like you are missing something and not so long that it feels dragged out. It didn’t do like some do where they repeat information about someone over and over. It is definitely worth reading and doesn’t disappoint.

If you are looking for a book that is brimming with drama and sex, you’ve come to the right place. However, if you are looking for a good solid story that builds and feels real, then… not so much.
Clearly, there is a good romance story here, but it is swallowed up in jealousy, head talk, and endless, run-on sex…way too much detail…so much that it takes away from the actual story.
I received a copy of this book with no obligation and I am posting my honest review. Unfortunately, I felt there was just too much “sexual detail” and not enough story content for this reader.
OMG this book is HOT!!! Dane is a playboy but out of love for his best friend, hires a fake fiancé to take to his wedding because the bride to be is an ex girlfriend, and the fake fiancé he hires ends up being an old hookup! Savannah is a no nonsense take charge kind of girl who still gets weak in the knees when she’s around him, but she’s a professional and won’t allow herself to fall for him again. Complicated? Hell yeah and that’s what makes this book such a great read.
