Jenna Brandt, enough said, if she writes it I will read it.
This is a wonderfully sweet story of heart, tenderness, and love.
Jenna Brandt always has her finger on her readers’ pulse writing books that they will love to read.
This book is no exception, the characters are so likable and the plot is enchanting.
This was a lovely story of a relationship that started as a marriage of convenience but soon blossomed into love.
The two main characters were super adorable. Although the plot followed the cliche story-line of a fake marriage, there were lots of cute moments that makes this worthwhile reading!
Overall, a lovely story!
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not affected my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion
This was a great story that I had a hard time putting it down. The author did an excellent job of keeping the plot moving. The characters were not very deep but the heart of the characters came through. The short timeline in the book made the story unbelievable. This book was great for a short, clean romance to pass the time. I recommend to anyone that enjoys a feel-good clean romance.
This is a heartwarming and sweet story that will make your heart sing. Ethan is a spoiled rich boy hiding out from an ex and bad publicity. Nicole is a sweet woman trying to get the funds to save her beloved lighthouse. They can help each other with a fake marriage. But as their feelings grow and everyone is fighting against them they will need to rely on God to get everything they want.
A great read. Ethan is the Billionaire playboy that needs to change his ways. Can Nicole the local gal change things in his life. This is a Wonderful written story that really brings out the Characters and the storyline. A fantastic read that I really enjoyed and recommend.

Struggling through all the trials and tribulations, along with a few twists and turns catapults this little jewel together sleek, shiny and tight.

The scenes are so vividly detailed it gives the illusion you were right standing in the middle of ground zero with them. Fantastic job Jenna, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
I really enjoyed this book! The characters were well written and I grew to like them so much. I felt I was watching the lives of Ethan and Nicole play out before my eyes. I loved that this took place on a small island with Nicole trying to save a piece of her families heritage. The romance was sweet and clean. Jenna Brandt does a great job of pulling the reader in from page one and keeping the reader engaged until the last page is turned!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

This is a truly engaging story that kept me captivated until the end. Loved the tender relationship between Ethan and Nicole, and how he respected her and wanted to be worthy of her.
A must read!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary opinion.
A wonderful heartwarming story. Ethan and Nicole are such wonderful characters.
A really good book.
I love Jenna Brandt’s books. I haven’t read a single one I didn’t like. This book is really sweet. What starts out as a business arrangement soon becomes something much more tender as a sweet love develops.
A well written novel. I loved every minute of it. Ethan, a billionaire playboy is ordered to an empty family estate to pose as a caretaker until an ugly scandal dies down. His father threatens to end his trust fund. Nicole needs money to save the lighthouse that has been dear to her family for many years. Asking for donations from the locals is not going well at all, so she decides to go to the other side of town. Ethan, thinking the woman ringing his bell, is someone his father has hired, allows Nicole to enter. He isn’t happy to find out she needs donations. Soon after their visit, his father orders him to get married hoping that he will settle down. When he asks Nicole to marry him in a fake marriage, she turns him down. When the mayor shortens the time that he gave her to collect funds, she turns to Ethan and accepts his offer. In return he will save her lighthouse from a greedy land developer, which the mayor hope will be good for their island.
What a beautiful house. I really need $$ to save the lighthouse – this guy must be the caretaker. Oh well, I’ll ask him for a donation. Nope – no go. Two days later . . . .surprise surprise . . .he calls me – and what he wants???
This is a sweet clean book that is very well written. You don’t want to miss Ethan and Nicole’s story, and it all started with trying to save a lighthouse!! I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Ethan, the son of a multi billionaire, lives off his trust and doesn’t have much else to do besides play around. Nicole on the other hand has very little except for her wish to save and renovate the old lighthouse where she and her family used to live.
Ethan needs a wife. He is being forced by his parents to get married and settle down because of the latest scandal affecting him, so he thinks of Nicole and makes her an offer which he thinks she won’t refuse. Such is the arrogance of the man.
Well, the story takes off from there with a good few twists and turns, but being a fictional love story, it just has to have a happily ever after and I loved the whole telling of it from the characters and the way they evolve and mature, to the theme and the way it plays out.
Jenna Brandt has also written in a delightful epilogue which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I am very happy to recommend this story as a quick and enjoyable modern day one.
I happily read an Advance Reader Copy and my voluntary review above is unbiased
