Some feelings never go away they just get bottled up deep down inside of you.  Then when they come back with a vengeance do something about it, make the right decision it might be your last chance at happiness.This story was a very pleasant read that had me balling at the very end.  I hate when family can’t accept the wishes of their family members when it comes to the well being of their children.  When parents decide who they wish to leave their young children if they were to pass away it’s what they want not anyone else, so who gives them the right to take the child away from them.  The child or children have suffered enough and it’s not right to have them being handled around like a thing they are human being with feelings.  I really disliked the grandparents of Molly, I would say hate but it’s not right, they were selfish people that didn’t have the well being of their grandchild in account.So when Molly’s parents passed away in an accident her parents wanted Meagan to raise her because she would make a great mother.  Meagan was a kindergarten teacher, had a stable living and loved Molly to death.  She knew that she would have to let Molly see her grandparents but when she got served and she found out that they wanted to take her away she was devastated.Jason knows the type of parents that he and his siblings have and knows why Grace appointed Meagan as Molly’s guardian in their will.  Now here he is at their home and they are planning to take Molly away from a wonderful woman.  It has been awhile since he has seen her but she has always been in his mind.  He knew that he hurt her when they were boyfriend and girlfriend as teenagers but he did something that he regretted.  He took his dad’s side when she was accused of getting pregnant in order to get their money.  Jason knew he was a jerk but he needed to do something in order for his parents not to get their hands on Molly.Jason knows what he needs to do now he needs to find a way for Meagan to say yes to his question.  Meagan can’t believe that Jason is proposing to her and she knows that it’s the only way to keep Molly.  Only that this is a false marriage and what if they get caught, what if they find out and they take Molly away from her.  She is risking everything and he still has his normal life as if he was not married.  She is the one that didn’t talk to her friends anymore and didn’t talk to her family very much.  Meagan felt lonely and after the honeymoon they had she was hoping things would change between them.  The feelings that she was having were developing into love and there was nothing she could do about it.The Temporary Wife was a splendid read that had my heart breaking for a little girl but not only her but for Meagan.  She was leaving her life behind.  Sure there are many books out there that have the same storyline but this one was a little different.  I like that they both were trying to be there for Molly and they were trying not to bring up the past.  Only the needed to clear the air before anything could happen and the marriage could actually work.  Jason was falling in love more and more with Meagan and he needed to finally apologize to her for not standing by her side.  I love that there was jealously on both of their parts and that Jason’s brother finally came around.  I wanted to know more about what happened between Jason and Meagan’s brother did they finally bury the hatchet.  What about Jason’s parents what happened to them for what they did.  I did love the epilogue.The pace of this story is good and the story was well written.  I will continue to seek more books by Ms. Moon and enjoy her writing style.  I recommend this book to any reader.Thanks to NetGalley who provided me a copy of this ARC for an honest review.
