Jason is a cynical rich playboy.
He doesn’t take life seriously.
He doesn’t believe in settling down.
Eileen's twenty-seventh birthday is almost here.
But as always she's an afterthought in her parent’s minds.
Her family is too busy planning a shotgun wedding for her older sister to pay attention to her. And now she has to help.
It’s just another year where she’s overlooked.
But the best man is smoking hot.
He actually notices her, and makes her feel special.
Jason doesn’t believe in commitment, but Eileen intrigues him.
She’s not the kind of girl he usually hooks up with.
She doesn’t even fall for his charm.
He’s made it his mission to convince her that he’s not the shallow man she thinks he is.
But can Jason give up his playboy lifestyle to become the man Eileen needs?
Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮
This was a fun, heartwarming, and emotional read.
"Rule number one of being Jason Spearman. You don't develop crushes."
So, we have Jason Spearman who is relationship-shy after having had his heart broken. However, there's no mistaking how caring he really is when it comes to his family. We also have Eileen McBean, who is almost an afterthought to her family. She's the middle child and works hard to be seen. Yet, she is the responsible one and everyone looks to her to be the fixer of all things.
"Eileen is flipping my world upside down. She makes me go against my better judgement."
When Jason's cousin (Marek) knocks up Eileen's sister (Charlie), they've got the shotgun wedding from hell to organise, and the task falls to Jason and Eileen to get the impossible done. Thrown into each other's company, they have an instant connection that develops into friendship, and then into something much deeper and unexpected.
"He's the only thing that's made me happy in a really long time."
I loved Jason and Eileen's rapport. They had so much in common, and the support they showed each other really warmed my heart. Jason is not as cynical as he'd like people to believe - underneath his playboy exterior still beats a heart that wants to love and be loved. I just melted at his concern and care for Eileen. Eileen is smart, sassy, and upbeat. She is more independent than either of her siblings, but my heart broke for everything that she'd put with from her parents and her sister. She has one hell of a forgiving heart and patience in spades. However, through everything, I enjoyed her positive and practical attitude to life.
"I would give her anything she asks right at this moment. My fortune, my heart, and my entire life."
Beyond their friendship, they were sizzling together - I thrilled at their urgency and their physical attraction was addictive. And, OMG, let's talk about those vows during Marek and Charlie's wedding?! They were the stuff of romantic dreams come true! *swoons*
I hope to see more stories about the Spearman clan in the future! And, special mention to Jason's assistant, Jossie. God! I want to be her when I grow up! LOL
