Who knew there could be so much drama is a small town.
Marley, is the town’s darling, someone who is to be prefect, marry the perfect man, live the perfect life. Those are not her dreams, those are her mom’s. So when she decides on her Independence and to stand on her own feet, it becomes an up hill battle with her mom leading the way.
Dean is a cowboy, who is being forced to retire due to medical reason, if he can’t be in the rodeo his next dream is to own his own ranch but he did not realize it would happen so soon, nor did he expect to have a little on the way.
This story is filled will back handed comment, slander, hate, devious plans, from those you think would be on your side, but it also is filled with love and support. This story definitely made me step back and say WOW. I love through out the story how Dean never gave up on Marley, even when her ex would start to put thoughts in his head. Both character had there thoughts on what and how they would get their “dream” but in the end what they though and what they have was the same thing just not the way they saw it.
This was really a fascinating story that kept me reading page after page.

Fake it till you make it………or until it becomes real
The Cowboy’s Pregnant Fake Fiancée is the story of Dean and Marley, one hot and steamy night, a whoops we did it and a fake engagement. But add in a small town, her horrible mother, an ex, a new business venture and a lot of twittering people.
I liked this sweet, funny, witty, entertaining and heartwarming romance story. What starts out as one night of fun after a few to many drinks for both of them becomes a whole lot real and then some as they get to know each other more. Not to say that Dean is not bucked off the bull a few times by Marley as she is a strong willed and vibrant young woman. But as long as he does not try to tame her they will end up with their perfect HEA.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
The story of Dean and Marley is a sweet romance. Marley was not a likable character to me at the beginning of the story, but she did grow on me. Dean’s character was a bit all over the place; hence the inconsistency in his actions bothered me. But overall it’s a satisfying read.

This was a good story about a fake relationship that develops into something so much more for Marley and Dean. I liked that this started with them having a one night stand that ends with Marley pregnant. When Dean comes back to town I am glad that Marley didn’t try to hide her pregnancy. I thought they were great together and I enjoyed their story.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of this book through Hidden Gems and I voluntarily chose to review it. This was a quick easy read. This is a well written story with great characters. I will encourage you to give this one a chance. I did enjoy this book. This is the first Leslie North / Mary Sue Jackson book that I have read but it will not be the last one. This one is worth your time and effort.

He overhears the town “mean girls” giving Marley grief and steps in. Marley and Dean are attracted to each other, and in her drunken state, Marley decides to give Dean a tour of the town. The tour leads them to spending the night together. Two months later, Marley learns she is pregnant and confronts Dean when she sees him in the diner flirting with her sister. Dean has come back after suffering an injury to spend some time on the ranch that he has always dreamed of owning. When the press gets wind of their night together and pregnancy, Dean and Marley agree to a fake relationship to restore their reputations. Marley and Dean’s feelings grow as they spend time together. Can their fake relationship turn into their happily ever after? Will Marley cling to her independence push Dean away? Will Dean choose his fame over Marley? Will Dean realize that what he really wants is his life with Marley and the baby on the ranch? I really enjoyed The Cowboy’s Pregnant Fake Fiancee by Mary Sue Jackson. The Cowboy’s Pregnant Fake Fiancee is a great read that deals with two people learning to compromise as they learn to navigate their new life together. I would recommend getting The Cowboy’s Pregnant Fake Fiancee.

Excellent read involving an aging rodeo star and his one night stand. The townies, family and ex, with their horrible attitudes, make Marley their favorite target. The title and cover are unfortunate, but the story is interesting and of course there is the romance, steam and requisite HEA. Add to your TBR list.
Marley and Dean meet in a bar and she is drunk after ditching her fiance! Nothing wrong with that and a little fun until a clinic visit gives her the news. A fake delay to cover all the bad publicity will help them both out right??

Absolutely delightful!
Marley and Dean are absolutely delightful characters that pull you into their story of finding love, pursuing careers while putting their relationship on firm ground, and fighting off the potentially intervening forces. She is devoted to her bakery and has made it quite successful, while he has basically given up his career in the rodeo and is trying to find himself. Lots of hits and misses (some funny, some sweet, and some a little sad). As always the characters and story are brought to life by this wonderful writing team for a not-to-be-missed read!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is a fun and sometimes sad or frustrating read about Dean and Marley who are now expecting after a one night stand. Marley has finally step out of line and taken control of her life and opened a bakery while Dean is the opposite and his planned career is now in tatters. I thought Dean and Marley were a great match and balanced each other, but they both frustrated me at times with how they kept their feelings hidden but I liked that because nothing is perfect in life! This is the perfect read to have a laugh, feel sad, frustrated, see love blossom and show the means girls in town they can shove off!

Dean is an aging, injured, rodeo star, looking for his backup plan and Marley is a small town girl, striking out on her own to start a bakery. What begins as a one night stand while celebrating her independence from her overbearing mother ends as something else entirely. Will these two manage to keep their eyes on the prize? – Wonderful story, great characters and very well written.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an ARC copy.
I liked Marley’s sister Everly. I liked Dean. Almost everyone else in the book was unlikable. Marley was not especially pleasant in the way she treated Dean.
This was not a charming small town romance. It was a small town full of hateful, vindictive, shallow people with Marley’s mother leading the charge. I can’t understand trying to cover up Marley’s mother’s awful behavior toward her child as being loving concern. Or her father sitting back letting her mother treat her that way.
Marley didn’t even have enough backbone to put Trevor in his place and keep him away. I thought that would be relatively simple because she didn’t even like him.
I had to keep reminding myself that Dean was only 33. He was still young, and I could appreciate his anxiety about his injury. It may have just been me, but the way he was portrayed in the book kept putting me in mind of a grizzled old cowboy that had to give up for doing because he was just too old.
I have read a few books about young rodeo stars hanging up their hard due to injury and never felt like they were stepping over into the late 40, early 50 group. The book never stated that to be honest, but that was the sense I got from it.
It was frustrating that Dean and Marley suffered from a serious lack of communication. Neither of them seemed to feel the need to inform the other about Trevor.
I’m glad Dean and Marley got their HEA. I would give this 2.5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book received via Hidden Gems.
This was a cute well written fake fiancé baby story that will keep you hooked with the characters and the storyline to see how their hea ends
