Addie and Nick have been best friends since they met in Kindergarten. They were always there for each other, even battling attraction at various times to preserve their friendship. When Addie's grandmother passes away, she is left broke and homeless because her greedy mother and aunt decide to sell the cottage out from under her. Nick has a successful career in private security, but has been having issues with clients' wives. Nick needs a wife to make his boss happy, and Addie needs a place to live while she gets on her feet. Nick's parents' relationship made him wary of marriage, but he thinks he a marriage in name only is the perfect solution for both of them. When they win an all expense paid honeymoon, thanks to Addie's friend Emily, it's the perfect vacation to start them off, right? There's always a catch, and the Honeymoon turns out to be a reality show, forcing Nick and Addie to pretend they are true Honeymooners.It was so much fun watching Addie and Nick negotiate their friendship and feelings for each other. The secondary characters added just the right interaction, pushing the two in the right direction. Ultimately, they have to both decide if they will be happy with the choices they have made.I loved the characters. I loved the location. Fiji has never been on my list of must visits, but the descriptions made the resort so real, I want to go there myself. This would be a great beach read!
