Hawke Vance will do whatever it takes to protect the family business, even if it means protecting it from his own father, a man who’s just gotten hitched in Vegas to wife number nine. Growing up seeing how much chaos wedded bliss creates, Hawke’s sworn never to fall into the matrimony trap. But to get the all-important controlling shares of the company, he does need a wife.

Being caught skinny dipping is not the way ballerina Amy Powell planned to start her vacation. When the hot biker who catches her turns out to be the owner of the house she’s staying in, she’s mortified. But embarrassment soon turns to confusion and a good dose of lust when Mr. Sex on a Stick offers her the money she needs to save her brother if she’ll agree to marry him and play pretend for two months.

Only this game of make-believe quickly starts feeling too real…

MY REVIEW

Hawke's dad is on wife #9. Can you imagine??? All of this wedded bliss has turned him off of even the idea of marriage. All he wants to focus on is keeping the family business safe from what he sees as another gold digger. He's just shy of having enough shares to take over the company. To get the remaining shares he needs the last thing he wants: a wife.

This was a relatively quick read, but despite how short it was, I enjoyed the time spent on the developing relationship between Hawke and his wife, Amy. There was intense chemistry, humorous banter, and real feelings that quickly evolved between them. There wasn't too much drama and yet the story felt dramatic. It was well-written and had just enough character development to make Hawke and Amy relevant. Candace Havens is new to me but I'll definitely be on the lookout for what she publishes next.
