I am rating this book for exactly what it is, which is a lesbian meet-cute and smut novel. It is easy to read. The characters are one-dimensional, save for maybe Gemma, and the dénouement is a simple satisfaction of come-uppances against Gemma's extended family. Sometimes that ticks the boxes for what you want in a story. ( ) I am rating this book for exactly what it is, which is a lesbian meet-cute and smut novel. It is easy to read. The characters are one-dimensional, save for maybe Gemma, and the dénouement is a simple satisfaction of come-uppances against Gemma's extended family. Sometimes that ticks the boxes for what you want in a story. this was kind of fun in the way she mashed up a handful of tropes all together, and did it in a believable way. (i mean, as believable as a marriage being a condition of inheritance can be, although she really did make me believe that wasn't such an anachronism for this family, so well done there.) i like the way she wrote these characters, and their banter was fun. their declarations of sappiness were over the top and harder for me, especially as they were sprinkled in everywhere. it was nice how quickly these two fell for each other, and how they weren't hiding it from each other, each assuming the other was still pretending. that was nice to see, and well handled. this is only my second of her books and i didn't love this, but i really do like how it seems like she writes really strong characters who don't compromise on who they are. Tansy is the unloved step-daughter, ala Cinderella. Gemma is the black sheep of the family. Tansy's stepmohter is considereing selling the bookstore started by her grandfather. It has been Tansy's life for ever so long. Tansy needs to figure out a way to buy the store from her stepmother. Gemma, surprisngly, is heir to her grandfather's publishing business, to the consternation of her father and cousin, Tucker. However, there is a stipulation. She needs to be married before the December board meeting and stay married for two years. Long story short, Tansy and Gemma meet at Tuckier's wedding to Tansy's stepsister. Gemma and Tansy strike a deal. Get married and Gemma will fnance Tansy's bookstore acquisition and Gemma will inherit the publishing empire. Can a marriage of convenience turn into love? And, if so, what could possibly go wrong! Like Bellefleur's other books, this is totally readable and enjoyable. The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur Contemporary F-F romance. Fake relationship troupe. Tansy has been lying about being in a relationship for the last six months to avoid family functions. Accidentally having named the other person, Tansy is shocked when Gemma shows up at a family wedding and agrees to go along with the game. Of course there are conditions and consequences along the rocky road to love. Each of the women are attracted to the other which makes for delicious tension. Each also has personal issues beyond the set-up that they have to deal with. Together they need to watch their trusted friends and their backs. It was tantalizing and a bit bumpy and ultimately heart swooning. I received a copy of this from the publisher. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Lambda Literary award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy sapphic rom-com about a quiet bookseller and a romance novel cover model who agree to a modern-day marriage of convenience... Tansy Adams' greatest love is her family's bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance... Tansy can't get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily's questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They'll never actually meet, so what's the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy's path, her white lie nearly implodes. Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step furtherâ??and announces their engagement. Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather's will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it's a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won't give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy's newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
