The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier
4.0
3.5 Stars!
The Wedding Hoax features two ex-lovers thrust into a marriage of convenience charade in order to save their respective businesses from getting messy, with Daisy Willows as a wedding gown couturier and Cole Benton and his bridal magazine.
Heather Thurmeier's characters in this book are instinctively cliche; we've got the playboy who doesn't want to settle down and the girl who's always dreamt about forever. But as typical as they sound, I enjoyed reading this novel. It had the dramatic flair going on within the romance, which sparked a bit of intensity in the read.
Daisy Willows was the typical female character who's dreamed of happiness one day. The future goal is a husband, kids and a dog, and once she thought it to be with Cole. But despite her lifetime goal, she's also a headstrong and witty female, and a businesswoman at that, which is also why I enjoyed her character very much.
Meanwhile, Cole isn't the type to settle down. A few girlfriends and hook ups here and there, he's never wanted to put a ring on one because of the fear that it would sabotage his focus and mindset towards his career. He was such an arrogant character, and reading about him was very frustrating.

"The playboy might have put a ring on my finger, but he'll never stop playing the game, will he?"If the author's attempt was to make my chest clench while reading, well, she was successful, because I sincerely felt the ache between these two characters (I may or may not be talking about personal experience, hah!) If you're looking for a quick read about fake marriages and second chance romances, this book is something you should pick up and devour.
