Publisher's Summary

When making it to congress means faking a marriage . . . fake it 'til you make it takes on a whole new meaning.

Apparently, conservative Midwestern voters want more than my brains, connections, and good looks to vote me in as a congressman.

That's right, to appear as the all-American family man they want . . . I need a wife. ASAP.

The lovely Odette Hastings seems to fit the bill. She's a wholesome small-town girl, and conveniently in need of cash. I'll give her the money to take care of her elderly parents, and she'll be the political arm candy I need.

We both win, right?

The only problem is Odette is a little too beautiful, a little too intelligent, and way too distracting.

I have to keep my eye on the prize. Because there might be something I want more than a seat in congress.

I love this book

This was such a cute story. Madden is running for congress, but statistics show that voters want a family man… and he is very single. Odette just left her job in D.C. and moved back home to take care of her elderly parents. It turns out they don’t have the money for the care they need. When Madden offers to pay for their care, if Odette marries him, she can’t refuse.

It’s a fake marriage, forced proximity, closed door romance and it was so very entertaining. There’s a high school reunion, family holidays, political rivals and so much more. Politics are not my thing but I really enjoyed this book. The banter within the family, the character development of the MCs, and the sparks between them was perfect. I loved it and devoured it in less than 1 day.

Excellent Narrator by Shaina and Kyle.
