Reviewer: Vivi for Romance with FlavorReview Source: PublisherEver read a book and feel like you're home? You know the characters. You went to school with them or lived next door to them. You know the town, even if it only exists in the author's mind. You swear you walked down the streets, ate at the restaurants, and went to the events.Seven Day Fiance did all those things for me. As a Louisiana girl transplanted in Maryland, this book made me miss home something bad. For northerners, Maryland is south. For true southerner, Maryland isn't south enough. Louisiana has a flavor all its own that don't exist anywhere else. I love Rachel Harris for capturing that essence of home for me. She painted the picture of the love we have for our small towns and Cajun or Creole cuisine. It made me want to sit on my patio, put on a pot of crawfish, corn and potatoes, and pop a cold beer (which I will only drink with the crawfish).The book had me hooked from the beginning. As soon as Angelle as the poster of shirtless men, I had to find out more. While we've seen the fake fiance situation may times, I enjoyed the way Ms. Harris unfolded Cane and Angel's developing attraction. The chemistry between the characters drew you in, made you want more. I love how Cane hide behind his bad-boy persona, yet maintained his southern chivalry.  Which I so miss about southern men.Angelle, like many small towners, understood to reinvent herself she had to leave home, which is never easy.  When you grow up in a place where you know everyone and they know you, it's both  blessing and a curse. Angel embraced change and took a leap. That leap of faith gave her the opportunity to find herself and love. She was brave, witty, and I liked she was a little clumsy.Seven Day Fiance was a heartwarming romancing with likable character. I would definitely recommend it to those who like sweet romance with a small town feel. Now, I'm off to see if I can get someone to send me some boudin.Laissez les bons temps rouler!
