4.5 stars

I am a huge fan of this author. Even though her stories usually happen in a relatively short time span it never feels that way. I will admit that I wondered how this story was going to go after reading the first few chapters. I even went as far as to make sure to read the blurb again in case I was thinking of a different book. To say, that this was a different take on a fake marriage romance would be entirely true. I haven't seen this version before and it sure worked. It did take me a bit to get into the story but after about 30% I was hooked wanting to see where this story was going to end up.

This book had a lot of suspense, crazy hot chemistry, parents that I couldn't quite get a feel on (trust me on this when I say that there is more here than meets the eye), the smartest horse ever, post-it notes, and the eternal love of a grandfather. I am not ashamed to admit that I got teary-eyed at a certain point and had to pause reading until I could see again to continue reading.

Off topic, this might be my favorite cover she has done. The cover model is exactly how I pictured Drake. Bella was a lucky woman. ( )
