Those books that make you cry laughing? This is one of them. I laughed my socks off at the exquisite perfect dry humour that Tawna Fenske has injected into Fiancée for Hire. And balance the humour with romance, fun, action, passion, emotion and a couple who have a fabulous chemistry and you get the full package.MacArthur Patton is a mysterious, shade-wearing, protector of a man. Ex-military, his work is classified, but his latest job requires a wife...which he doesn't have. Enter Kelli Flanders, Veterinarian and his sister's best friend. The younger sister who thinks her overbearing big bro deserves a little payback (read Marine for Hire, the first book in the series to discover why). She knows Kelli has had a crush on Mac for a fair few years and suggests she be the perfect candidate. Mac needs sweet and demure and Kelli is as far removed from that as you could get. He needs keeping on his toes...I loved them as individuals and together. Kelli is hilarious, she's quick, witty and so matter of fact. With no airs and graces, she calls it as it and was a character after my own heart. Mac is also a witty guy but he's like an M&M; all tough on the outside but underneath is a delicious tasty delight. Their chemistry is realistic, natural and fun, but there are more serious undertones as to why they are the people they are and I whilst laughed heartily at their banter, when the more serious stuff came my heart ached for them. And their intimate moments had me leaping between laughing and fanning myself as both Kelli and Mac are naughty.Fun, feel-good romance at it finest, Fiancée for Hire was an absolute joy to read. The Lovestruck imprint has wooed me, won me over so far and this is a stellar addition. And with two more Patton siblings (who incidentally are all named after US Generals, the penny finally dropped for me!), I can't wait to see what shenanigans Tawna Fenske creates for them.Copy received courtesy of Entangled Publishing for an honest and unbiased opinion
