A Counterfeit Betrothal by Mary Balogh
2.0
I found A Counterfeit Betrothal to be ok but didn't warm to any of the characters. A young woman tries to reconcile her parents by pretending to be engaged.
Her parents have been estranged for 14 years after her father went to a wedding alone, got drunk and was shamed into sleeping with another woman.
The young woman pretends to be engaged to a childhood frenemy - of course what is clear to the reader is that he has feelings for her and is using the fake engagement as an excuse to get closer to her.
I found the young woman to be, quite frankly, TSTL and her parents to be rather pathetic.
