Jill Michaels prides herself on one thing: being independent. That is until her daughter gets into an elite school, and she needs money more than ever. It seems her fairy godmother—aka her deceased Grammy—has granted that wish in the form of one-fourth of her estate. The only catch? She must be married by her thirtieth birthday. In two months.
Aaron Collins is fresh out of the army and back in town to help his father’s failing business. When he runs into Jill at a hotel where she’s attending a single’s mixer, he makes sure she doesn’t make it past his room and into another guy’s arms. When he hears about her predicament, he has a plan: they’ll get married and keep it a secret. And maybe have a little sexy fun until he leave towns for his new job.
But letting go of the woman of his dreams may be harder than Aaron could have ever imagined.

Review at Of Pens and Pages.
Falling for the Fake Fiancé is a quick, steamy, and fun read with a swoon-worthy hero and a strong, independent heroine.

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
Jennifer Blackwood's writing is always a mixture of fun and sassiness. This one was a sweet heartwarming story as well.

I am a huge fan of the fake marriage plot line, so I was pretty much sold from the title.
I really liked Jill and Aaron. They're both good people with amazing chemistry and every conversation is filled with banter. I loved that they were childhood friends and had a history between them.
Of course th ...more

This is oohhh la la.. Oh yeah, that’s what I said after reading this book and Jennifer Blackwell is just to be blamed. Although we’ve all heard about pretend lovers falling in love, might sound cliche and all that, but I still went for this story and I loved it! I’d never settle for just one night w ...more

A few months ago I read the first book in this series, Landing the Air Marshal, and I really enjoyed it. I prefer Jennifer Blackwood’s new adult books but since I liked it I wanted to read the second book, especially because I k ...more

This is another one of those times were I judged the leading female character to soon, when I started Finally For The Fake Fiancé I really couldn't connect with Jill I put her in the gold digger basket and assumed she was going to use Aaron.

Jill's girlfriends take her out to a speed-dating event, and after suff ...more
A fun fake engagement story!
Jill and Aaron were friends and neighbors for years while growing up, a fact that helps this fairly short, very steamy fake-to-real romance work. Ms. Blackwood's writing gave this story the perfect blend of humor and romance--I laughed out loud nearly as much as I swooned ...more

Falling for the Fake Fiancé is a delicious second chance, friends to lovers book. While it felt a bit immature at times, the antics between the two are fun and fresh.
Jill and Aaron are forced together. They knew each other back when and haven't seen each other in years. Jill has a daughter and an i ...more
