This was a super cute story with fun characters. However, there was a lot missing that could have made it a more well rounded tale. I do love the characters and the heart of the story focusing on family. It was another quick read.
Fake marriage trope. Jasper Quint is set to take over the family car company, but his father decides that if he isn’t married by the family reunion (a month away), he will let one of his cousins take over. Jasper and his assistant Greg come up with a scheme that Jasper will have a whirlwind romance with someone so inappropriate that his father will demand a divorce, after he hands over the company. They choose intern Dee. There were so many things not to like about this book. They pick Dee as unsuitable since she is poor and shops at Target. The sex was needlessly graphic and way too much dirty talk. Bottom line, I really didn’t like Jasper, he was a snob and a user.
This book was just ok for me and I really dislike saying that but I want to be honest. The plot was ridiculous but I got past it and the book itself was not bad. Unfortunately didn’t have a vested interest in the characters. So again the book wasn’t bad it just wasn’t for me. I still want to read other books by this author.
THE WIFE ARRANGEMENT is a quick read and if you don’t look too closely at the plot execution, it is somewhat entertaining. It’s full of clichés, and while this does not automatically mean a book is sub-standard, the shorter length was not enough to convince me about the characters or their path to a happy ever after.

The princess hosting his daughter’s birthday party leads Killian to a second chance at love.
Tilly is young, beautiful and working toward a career as a children’s author. Right now, she’s a party planner where she dresses as a Princess and plans and hosts parties. She finds her role fulfilling and she just adores working with the children.
Tilly and Killian meet when Tilly sweeps in to fulfill his daughter’s princess dream at her fifth birthday party. They experience an instant chemistry and sparks fly. Killian is a little older, totally hot and irresistible. It may be unprofessional to cross that line with a client, but neither one was willing to resist.
This is a super sweet and sexy story. Killian does have an ex-wife who does not wish to stay in the past, so she brings some complications. However, these two fall fast and hard an nothing is going to come between them.
What a sweet surprise! The Wife Arrangement is sweet, romantic, steamy read that I completely fell in love with. Read it in one night – once I started I didn’t want to put it down!
Jasper is the poster boy for playboy bachelor. He’s hardworking, successful and enjoys his life on his terms. Hasn’t felt the urge to settle down nor does he plan to. Never met someone worth changing his ways for — until Dee.
Jasper and his assistant Greg concoct a plan to find a fake fiancé out of a stack of intern applicants to woo his family. His Dad is ready to sign over the reigns to the family business but doesn’t think Jasper is the right man while living the single life. Dear old Dad wants his one and only son to give him grandbabies – so sweet — this is always the woman’s plea.
Greg chooses what he thinks is the least likely match for Jasper to whisk away to the big family reunion. Thinking they will crash and burn so epically that Jasper’s father will happily accept him as head of the company sans a wife. Everyone walks away happy, knowing the score from day 1.
What ensues the moment these two unlikely characters meet is nothing short of sizzling. They have immediate chemistry. Fantastic banter. Surprising easy conversations. Soon Dee is all Jasper can think about. They fall in to as easy “fake” relationship only they both catch a huge case of the feels.
Can Jaspers secret plan stay under wraps now that his feelings have changed? Have these two amazingly perfect characters found their real soul mate? Or will it all be ruined in spectacular glory?
One click and find out. One thing I have come to count on from Penny Wylder is crazy well written, perfectly paced tale that takes you on a journey. There is plenty of steam and humor. And my favorite aspect are the beautiful beginnings to these matches made to seem so unlikely. This author is definitely on of my go to favorites when I need a short, light, dirty or uplifting read. She’s a woman of many talents. Writes all the tropes! Love love love!
I love a good fake relationship story and I’m a fan of Penny Wylder, but this one sort of fell flat for me. It’s not the story wasn’t enjoyable – it was! But the characters, particularly Jasper and his cousin/assistant, were not that likable. I mean, I guess I liked Dee – her past and current situations were sympathetic and she was suitably feisty, but I did not Jasper at all and I really don’t thing they were developed deep enough to make a connection with the reader, which made me question their connection with each other. Outside of that, the story was fun and the sexy times were hot, so I consider it a solid offering from the author. 3 out of 5 wine glasses.
I love cars, bad boys and smart heroines. I just loved this book! I couldn’t stop reading. Very well written. Hot, steamy scenes. The story well paced without too much drama.
The Wife Arrangement- Penny Wilder
Penny wilder has written a thoroughly entertaining story based around an arranged marriage….. but wait….. there’s more to this story.
Jasper Quint, heir apparent to the Quint Motors CEO position is given the ultimate ultimatum by his father – Marry and settle down or you don’t get the position. Jaspers womanising ways are exactly the lifestyle he’d rather keep!
With a devious plan in the works to select the most heinous woman that his family will hate, fake marry her and have his father plead for him to divorce…. what could possibly go wrong.
Enter bright eyed Deeandra Smith, ‘Dee’. Her life’s ambition is to enter the design and engineering field at Quint Motors, starting out in their intern program.
Without giving anything away, suffice to say this was a thoroughly fun, flirty and dirty story, full of witty banter, and heartwarming moments. Loved reading every minute of it and I’ll be looking for more Penny Wilder to add to my TBR list.
Wow..Penny did such a fantastic job with this book. This is a new favorite of mine. I absolutely love Jasper and Dee together. Holy crap was their chemistry hot as heck!! Jasper is one fine man. I actually really did love this book. I’ve read so many fake marriage romances but Penny did this one justice! Great book.
The Wife Arrangement by Penny Wylder, was so damn funny I could not stop laughing. You had its moments where you felt bad for Dee at times. Dee finally got everything that she could have ever wanted.. She got the job of her dream *so she thought* But when they bring her in for something else she could not imagine it would be that easy, but hey it paid more plus she still got to work at what she liked..
Jasper needed to find a girl and ASAP because his father was threating him with the inheritance and the company mostly. He had a month to finally find a girl and make him hers, get married in order for him to get what he wanted. So when he asked his assistance to do the dirty work for him, lets say he never thought he would fall in love with Dee, because she was so much like him to the very T.. So when they finally see the family, at the reunion, and the moment he almost loses her, lets say that family reuinion they all get the happily ever after that was meant to be
When I read the synopsis I thought it would be a fun read and it was.
Jason is the typical rich man, he like a fast cars and faster woman and has no inclination to settle down. His parents are still in love and his father decides he needs to settle down If he doesn’t he’ll lose his inheritance.
Jason comes up with a simple plan, find a woman to pose as his wife then later on divorce her. He has a particular type in mind someone completely unsuitable who will horrific his family, enter Dee.
I love Dee and Jason as a couple they do say opposites attract and that’s so true with these two. Jason any be the typical player but he has a soft heart when it comes to the family. Dee has such a good heart, she’s a down to earth fun girl I can imagine hanging out with her.
There is no real drama which I loved , watching their friendship naturally progress was so sweet. This was a well written story that made me smile throughout.
reviewed by Sweet Spot Sisterhood
Excellent simple story, very well written, which seemed initially creepy, with the exploitation of the poverty of a car enthusiast girl who wishes to become an intern in a large luxury car company and discovers that she is hired to become the fake woman of the CEO’s son, so that he could inherit the business before divorcing her quickly, against a letter of recommendation for college and a little money to pay the tuition.
The characters are excellent and the transformation of Jasper who was rather unpleasant at the beginning is very well described. He goes from hateful to adorable while remaining coherent for me. He met only uninteresting women he was tired of and he meets Deeandra, as passionate about cars and speed as him. He hoped to meet a woman who would become unbearable for his father to demand a divorce, but quickly, we understand that the plot will be more complex, as their relationship is torrid.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Can I just say this book was so damn addictive. I couldn’t unglue my eyes from my kindle from how good this book was.
Jasper needs a wife ASAP. The only thing his dad is asking for is for him to be married in order for Jasper to take over the company and Jasper refuses to give in to his father’s demands. He isn’t in a serious relationship, let alone in a position to seek a wife.
When Jasper and his assistant come up with a plan for Jasper to have a fake fiance, he never imagined that the woman they would court would end up becoming more than just a fake fiance for Jasper.
They started off on the right foot, they got along from the moment they met and once she got propositioned and she accepted, she didn’t know all the details that entailed for her to be a fake fiance. But their fake romance started to feel very real when they went away on a long weekend get away. Now, will their little charade work for Jasper’s family to dislike her or will it work the opposite way for him? How does Jasper feel in the end, does it still feel like a fake arrangement, or has his feelings actually grown and fallen in love with her. More importantly, how is Dee going to take it when she finds out the real details behind this fake arrangement?
The chemistry between these two was off the charts. The sex in this book was so damn hot I couldn’t seem to get enough. I absolutely adored this book. The characters were very believable.
This is the first book I read in regards to this trope and I have to say that I highly enjoyed it. Totally a must read if you want to be swooned by a hot, sexy alpha millionaire!
The Wife Arrangement had the FEELS peeps! So many feels and so much sexiness and so much goodness that made me sigh, melt and pant, I am surprised I can still stand. This beaut BLEW me away with its SWEETNESS!
I knew with a book coming from Penny Wylder, I would be getting something special, but I was still shocked, in the best of ways with The Wife Arrangement! The characters are FANFREAKINGTASTIC and the storyline and plot made me giddy and happy and there was so much heart in it, I just felt like I was walking on cloud nine. This book was special and unique. It made for a sappy and sweet read with plenty of heat to keep things smoldering. I am SOOOOOOOO wanting more!
The Wife Arrangement gets a SULTRY AND SWEET FIVE SHOOTING STARS!
This was my first book by Penny Wylder, which was a quick read I really enjoyed! It was hot, sexy, sweet and romantic with a touch of drama and a good storyline.
Jasper is the only son of a car mogul, who is looking to retire and hand over the reigns to his son, but only if he settles down from his playboy ways and finds a wife, otherwise he will be looking to give his empire to his cousins!
Jasper and his assistant come up with a plan to find a wife in time for a big family reunion, who is family won’t approve of, so that he can go back to being single and still run the company. Sounds like a plan – that is until feelings start to get a bit real!
Dee is the new intern at the car company, looking for experience to go on to university, she loves cars, is hard working and sparks fly when she sees Jasper. She is reluctant at first to their fake fiance plan, but with her Walmart look and friendly disposition she tries her best to fit in. Jasper and Dee click, too well – now he wants the family to really like Dee as he has fallen for her for real.
A good story line, plenty of sizzle, the unlikely connection with the characters works well, I enjoyed their banter!! Well worth the read.
Wow, what a book!. I fell in love with Dee and Jasper and they took me on quite a ride. Penny Wylder has done a great job with this book. The characters are captivating and the story is entertaining. Jasper needed a wife in order to get his inheritance and that’s where Dee comes into the picture. Amazing how quick fake can become real. They were so perfect for each other and their chemistry was explosive. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one! I was expecting a lot of heat that stole the show. Don’t get me wrong The Wife Arrangement is SCORCHING but there’s also quite the adorable romance that takes just as much of the spotlight as the heat here! A case of opposites attract Dee and Jasper and more than just sizzling chemistry and what starts as fake quickly turns not only hot but also sweet and swoony.
Jasper being the what appears to be the stereotypical rich, spoiled, arrogant man grows into someone I actually ended up loving once Dee comes into the picture. Your average girl doing all Dee can to reach her dreams does not expect her dream internship to take the twist it does on the very first day. What appeared to be the exact opposite of perfect for Jasper quickly turns into everything he ever wanted as their arrangement goes on and creates a story that keeps you hooked!
Jasper Quint, Playboy, Loves Fast Cars, Future CEO of the Family Car Manufacturing Business. Wait Stop there… MAYBE future CEO if he complies with his fathers wishes, that he settles down and gets himself a wife before the Annual Family Holiday. Jasper being Jasper hatches a plan with his assistant/cousin where everyone including himself will win. He will find a wife, so his dad will be happy and off his back, buttttt he will find a fake wife, one that his family will dislike and will not want within their circles, Fake Wife and Fake Divorce coming up and everyone wins Right? Enter Dee, a poor girl, with big dreams of having a career in Car Design and this internship is a huge step in achieving her ambition, one she’s worked darned hard to reach !! I mean she only has to put up with the Hot, sexy, stunning man for a month right? You know what they say about best laid plans???
I loved it !! Is this book predictable? Yes, but only in so far as you know its romance and its got an HEA. The path they take is unique and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable read. Two People who meet and find the very thing they didn’t know they wanted or needed. Two people who quite simply and beautifully just FALL IN LOVE!! Characters with chemistry that leaves you hot and steamy, Coz i gotta tell you Jasper is the definition of Puddles and Melting !!!! Dialogue that has you laughing and almost in tears at the same time. Simply put this is a beautiful little romance that gives you all the feels in all the right places !!!
What happens when a committed bachelor meets a free spirited, hard working young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who just wants to make a better life for herself?
Jasper is in way over his head when it comes to Dee because she is the kind of woman he didn’t know he needed and would never have found on his own. He had never met anyone who knew as much about cars as he did and it was exciting to be able to talk to her about his work. The humor with which they bounce car ideas off of each other is refreshing and it makes their relationship so much more realistic. We all have the desire to love someone inside of us and it just takes the right person to show us the way.
Dee felt she could never love anyone or be loved but after getting to know Jasper she realized that she had met the man of her dreams, but was afraid that she would wake up one morning and he would be gone. They came from different backgrounds and she was concerned that once his parents met her they would feel that she wasn’t good enough for their son. Dee knew that his family was very important to him and she hoped that they would love her as much as she loved their son.
This book is about the importance of family, finding love when you least expect it and believing that when you meet the right person, you will know it. Jasper and Dee made me laugh and I loved this feisty couple from the moment they met and ultimately, they learned that love is never expected but is always welcome.
