*This is book 4 of the McCullough series! To completely understand it, read the first 3. Also, I received an ARC and this book will be available for purchase on March 12 on Secret Cravings Publishing website and all other sites around March 19th.*The McCullough Mountain series is my favorite series. It may come as a surprise *not really* but I had fallen for Kelly McCullough since book 1 was released. So when his story (Chaste) came out last, I was in heaven and thought I couldn't be any happier with the series. Well, don't tell my long standing book husband Kelly that his baby sister's book, Faking It, has to be my new favorite!There was something slightly different with this one. Sure I have some similarities with other characters but it seems like Sheilagh and I are a lot alike and it just clicked into perfect harmony. Well, as much as can be expected. This wasn't the totally typical romance story. It wasn't true love at first sight that sparked these characters. There was an actual connection formed eventually. The "angst" that all good romance novels have, in this book it stands on its own. Sure normal issues arise but they are handled differently than some others. The true test is a long standing issue that many of us have to deal with for a very long time.A true testament is that I honestly couldn't put the book down. I can normally read a chapter, go be productive, read a chapter *repeat*. At about Chapter 5 & 6, I could no longer do that. This book had me laughing out loud, pausing just to ingest what was happening and just overall falling in love with Sheilagh, Alec and even deeper with my absolutely favorite family, the McCulloughs.
