 With a household of characters this book was a good introduction to upcoming stories. The Husband Hoax follows Christian, a dancer who wants to be a star, he has so much confidence when he is performing but when out in the world, he is accident prone and constantly doubts himself. When he is invited to a family wedding, he wants to show them that he was doing well for himself so hires a date, but when the date cancels, in steps Émile, a billionaire and Christians knight in shining armour.
This was such a fun read making it hard to put down when I needed to go to work. Christian was a character that I instantly liked and I would have adopted him if I could. There was times I was trying to stop myself laughing out loud after Christian had yet another catastrophe. Émile never patronized Christian and was so perfect for him, ready to fight Christian's battles. They both had horrendous families which was one thing they had in common and it emphasised how important Christian's found family were.
Their HEA was enjoyable and well deserved and I am going to read Seven's story
