USA Today Bestseller Leslie North invites you to indulge in a steamy billionaire romance with an unforgettable bad boy billionaire and the smart-talking woman who tames him…Reclusive billionaire inventor Gavin Burrows still thinks about Sarah Hanson—the woman he had a brief but memorable fling with three years ago. So he’s shocked when the pretty American woman shows up at his castle door … door pleading with him to not end his contract with his gardeners, who happen to be Sarah’s aunt and uncle. Sarah is desperate to complete the garden, but Gavin is desperate, too. He’ll do almost anything to get his mother to stop playing matchmaker—even if that means making a deal with Sarah to pose as his fiancée. She gets her garden, he gets his mother off his back. At least with Sarah posing as his fake fiancée, he can avoid all his mother’s marriage prospects. Coming from a large and rambunctious family, all he’s ever really wanted was to be alone to work on his inventions. He certainly won’t let one gorgeous gardener get in his way.
Sarah would never tell Gavin this, but that summer three years ago? She’d fallen hard for him. As an only child, Sarah has always wanted a large family, so when she learns he considers having a big, loud family akin to having the plague, she now realizes Gavin is definitely not the man for her. Still, she can’t resist the opportunity to restore Gavin’s historic garden to its former glory, so when he offers, she reluctantly agrees to pose as his fiancée and prays she can shield her heart. But even though she knows it’s temporary, she surrenders to their smoldering attraction and falls hard all over again. When Gavin’s parents throw them an engagement party, the guilt over all their lies begins to weigh heavy—as does the realization she’ll once again be left heartbroken.
As the garden she’s created turns out to be a spectacular achievement, Sarah can only wonder if her love for Gavin will wither or finally bloom into something just as grand…

I loved this book! It was shockingly cute, but also so sweet!! The fake engagement even had me slightly embarrassed for Sarah to be thrown into it like that, but of course Gavin came around!! The epilogue was even amazing too!! Great read overall!!
The second book in this series and this one is just as good as the first. We have a past relationship which gets twisted by Gavin, who wants freedom from his family’s responsibilities and in order to make the break, he enlists his prior flame, by any means, fair or foul to accomplish his goal. This is another quick read with a twist. Grab a glass and put up your feet and enjoy.
This great book I couldnt put it down read it in couple days hot steamy sexy passionate all in one book cant wait see what next awesome story line as well.

Gavin just wants to be left alone to his inventions but his mom wants him married. When Sarah, a woman he dated briefly, shows up on his door step asking him to reconsider his decision to not renew the contract with her aunt and uncle to restore the gardens on his newly purchased castle, he tells her no. When his Mom is planning a new home party, where she is hand picking out women for him to consider as a wife, and Sarah comes back with a revised plan, Gavin comes up with a plan to have her pose as his fiance and she can do the garden restore.
Sarah thinks over the offer and decides to go ahead with Gavin’s plan and pose as his fiance.
Can these two work together side by side every day and ignore the chemistry they feel?
Will Gavin and Sarah make the engagement real or will Gavin close himself off and let Sarah slip through his fingers?
This is the 2nd book in this series and each is stand alone.

Gavin and Sarah had a prior relationship before seeing each other again. Gavin cancels the gardening contract Sarah’s aunt and uncle have with the previous owners of the castle. When Sarah tries to get it back it leads to a fake engagement. I am enjoyed reading about them getting to a real relationship and happy ending.

I am not sure that I even know where to begin writing a review for this because it is truly an awesome experience.
The author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major two characters, but the minor ones too.
I loved everything about it – the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing, and the ability that the author had to tell me a story that had me wanting this book to go on and on.

An exciting addition
Sarah, a horticulturalist, has to convince Gavin, billionaire inventor, that he needs his castle gardens restored. As the story progresses a storm sweeps in, too many waves are made, and the tide pulling them under could drown them if they don’t learn to swim. Leslie North’s The Tycoon’s Fake Fiancée is an exciting addition to her European Tycoon series.

He hates gardens but he loves her more
The Tycoon’s Fake Fiancée is the second book in the European Tycoon series and introduces us to Gavin Burrows and Sarah Hanson. Gavin is a billionaire inventory who lives a quiet life by himself. Sarah is an young American woman who he had a summer fling with three years ago.
Sarah has come to England because the owner of an estate has cancelled a contract to take care of the estate gardens which was held by her aunt and uncle. When she goes to the estate to find out why the contract was cancelled and to see if it could be reinstated Gavin answers the door and let’s just say they are each gobsmacked. It seems Gavin has just purchased the estate and he cancelled the contract and was not going to reinstate it.
Gavin has other pressing issues to deal with beside a cancelled contract. Namely his busy body matchmaking mother who is determined to get him married and her grandchildren. His mother has gathered together a large selection of eligible young woman and is planning on ambushing him at a party she is throwing, where he is to choose a wife from among the women. But Gavin gets a heads up from his sister and thinks of another plan. One in which he and Sarah will be brought back together. He asks her to be his date for the party and once there introduces her as his fiance, sneaky thing that he is. Sarah has a little something to say about it but she now has a bargaining chip and has him agreeing to reinstating the gardening contract again for the next six months.
As Gavin and Sarah spend more time together in a “fake” relationship they of course start feeling things again and growing closer. What Gavin did not expect was to fall in love with Sarah. Now what will happen between them?
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

This was an intriguing story about Gavin Burrows and Sarah Hanson. A billionaire inventor, a cancelled contract, a matchmaking mother and the girl who got away. What more could go wrong? I found this fake fiancé a wonderful story from cover to cover.
He’s rich and a billionaire. She isn’t and is trying to help salvage her aunt & uncle’s business. They had a brief fling with her years ago and is surprised when she approaches him for his help with her family’s business. The only way this will happen is to pretend she is his fiance and to help fend his mother’s attention to his love life and she can do the garden she desperately is wanting on his estate. What starts as a business deal doesn’t take long to turn into so much more.
