They say opposites attract and that couldn’t be truer when it comes to CeCe and Shep. But what happens when the two most anti-marriage people in the French Quarter start enjoying the act?
CeCe
I never planned on getting married. After my dad deserted my family the day before my tenth birthday, and I watched my mother fall to pieces over him, I decided it wasn’t worth the heartache. Then Shepard Rhys-Jones, who ghosted me two years ago, declares he needs to marry someone to claim his inheritance, and I drunkenly offer myself up as his wife.
He was the best I’ve ever had and now, he’s all mine… but only for the next year.
Shep
I never planned on getting married. It was one business transaction I had no desire to close. Yet, here I am… sitting in a bar in New Orleans… seriously considering making CeCe Calhoun my wife.
If we can manage to stay married for a year, I’ll be one hundred million dollars richer and finally have the freedom to forge my own path, separate from the Rhys-Jones name.
She’s the only woman I’ve struggled to forget, and she’s finally mine.
For now.
Is it possible for this fake marriage to be real?
Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮✮
"If ever there was a woman I could see myself tied to, it would be her."
Two years ago Shepard Rhys-Jones and Cece Calhoun had a hot weekend together. Then commitment-phobe Shep basically ghosted her. She's never forgiven him, nor has she ever really gotten him out of her system. Now, Shep needs a wife in order to gain his inheritance. In a drunken moment, Cece volunteers herself. I mean, how hard can it be to be in a fake marriage with him for just a year?
As it turns out, it can be pretty freakin' challenging!
"My time spent with her is different. This is more. I knew it when we were together two years ago, and I know it now."
I absolutely adored Shep and Cece's story. I loved the spark that burned bright between them. Their chemistry was off the charts! No matter how much they tried to ignore it or deny it, there was no question that, in spite of their differences, they were hugely compatible. I loved how Shep changed his outlook on love and relationships. It's obvious that Cece had a memorable effect on him and I loved that he didn't shy away from his real feelings for her when he realised how he truly felt. He's such a swoony character! Cece is a strong, smart woman and I enjoyed how she handled Shep. She's resilient in the face of adversity and vastly independent. It melted my heart that Shep wanted to lighten her burdens.
Overall, a fabulous, sexy story that I thoroughly enjoyed it!
