The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier
4.0
Check out my full review on Bookaholics Not-So-Anonymous.
The Wedding Hoax is a standalone contemporary romance by Heather Thurmeier and I went into this thinking it was connected to a book I was scheduled to read and review, The Hookup Hoax, only to realize that the were absolutely unrelated and having "hoax" in both titles threw me off. No regrets though, since this was a fun read and one that I was able to get through in under two hours. Daisy Willows and Cole Benton are exes thrown together in order to help their respective businesses. There's a fake engagement that will lead to a fake wedding but the feelings they have toward each other become very real soon enough, making their plan difficult to handle because it adds a complexity to it that neither one expected.
Daisy and Cole were likable characters, though there were moments early on that Cole came off as somewhat of a cocky and arrogant playboy who was spent his nights hooking up with women. Of course, we discover why he has such an aversion to committed relationships later on, and that helps put Cole in a different light. They come from very different family backgrounds and I just loved Daisy's mother because she was obviously such a spunky character and wished she could rub off some of that spunkiness on her daughter. There's a lot of back and forth between Daisy and Cole but the chemistry is there and you want to cheer them on to makethe fake stuff real. The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier gets four stars. ♥
