Never Fall for Your Fiancée by Virginia Heath

Never Fall for Your Fiancée by Virginia Health

We’ve got fake dating, a meddling mother, a deeper-than-he-looks rakish lead, and miscommunication galore. I’m on a roll with my e-reader right now, and gobbling up lighthearted & fun reads. This first book in a new historical romance series is both. There are virtually no surprises, it’s pure & simple entertainment. The premise struggles to keep the plot afloat as it’s thin, but my advice here is don’t think to hard, just enjoy the far-fetched story of an earl avoiding responsibility by hiring a fake fiancée he ends up developing feelings for.

In a similar reading mood earlier this year I read To Love or to Loathe (a story with similar vibes), and for what it’s worth I enjoyed this more. I recommend this for those fans of the trope, who don’t get irritated by frequent miscommunications as a plot device, and those looking for some breezy reading fun.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and to Netgalley for access to a free e-copy of this upcoming novel in exchange for an honest review. It’s out November 9!
