Pretend You're Mine by Lucy Score
5.0

.

Harper - a slightly chaotic woman with a heart of gold - finds herself outside a bar in a tiny town with no phone, no wallet, and an empty tank. She’s saved in so many ways by a somewhat reluctant Luke.

He gives her a job, somewhere to stay, eventually many orgasms, and a found family.

But as open as Harper seems, she’s hiding something. And Luke is very obviously hiding things of his own.

Anywho they agree to a month long situationship. He’s redeploying so she’ll move on to Fremont where she was originally headed at the same time.

Obvs not that simple though! Harper falls in love with him - still plans to leave because that was the deal - and although he’s your typical “I can never love you” he obviously falls in love with her too. He just refuses to believe it. Insert eye-roll at man logic here.

Their chemistry, the spice, the alpha-broody-strong-silent-tattooed-war-hero, the network of friends and family, the bubbly-caring-feisty-heart-of-gold-woman, the DOGS! What’s not to love?

Apart from the tertiary abusive characters - and of course war itself - the only negative was their collective secrets and incessant need to keep them from each other. Also Luke’s idiotic belief that he could never love Harper, thus pushing her away instead.

I do think she went too far invading his privacy though.

A great read in all, and it looks like it might be a series so I’m off to investigate!
