Dani is a young woman who works extremely hard in order to help support herself, her mother who is ill. She is a beautiful, smart, loyal and funny woman.Her closet friend is Wes, who lives 1000 miles away and is a helicopter pilot. Wes is gorgeous, sweet and aspires to own his own company one day - so he is also super hardworking.Because they are tied to their careers, they are not likely to move from their current locations.Both Dani and Wes find themselves in need a fake relationship to help their personal situations. So Wes brings Dani home as his fake fiancee.This book is totally predictable. It's so formulaic, that most readers could write the book ourselves. But most of us cannot. This author brings the characters alive with fun interactions, dialogue and since it's written in switching point of views, we read their thoughts. At one point it drags a bit b/c of they both assume that the other would never be in love with him/her. That got a bit old and dragged. But overall, this is a very clean (no sex), cheerful, comfortable and cute book.What was so enjoyable is that both characters are great people. People you'd want to be friends with. People you'd respect.The dialogue isn't earth shattering (no broken families, no angst, no insanity, no crying). But it's funny. It also gives you enough insight into how great their friendship is, that you are engaged and invested in their happy ending.The ending is so Disney-Pollyana, a bit eyerolling at how silly, but by then, you don't care. They are such a cute couple that you will digest the saccharine sweet ending with a smile.I recommend this book if you want a quick, predictable, clean, sweet romance that will make you smile.
