SEVEN DAY FIANCE - A LOVE & GAMES NOVEL is written by Rachel Harris and published by the Entangled Bliss line.  At over 150 pages it is priced at $2.99 on Amazon and released on 10/14/13.  I was lucky enough to be approached by Entangled Bliss to do a "read & review" on SEVEN DAY FIANCE - and boy oh boy, am I ever glad that I did!  I know I've said it before; Entangled is relatively new in the book biz, but they have SOLID authors in their stable & they sure kick it!In SEVEN DAY FIANCE, Angie finds herself in a quandary.  Having left her hometown after very publicly declining a marriage offer from her long-time "golden boy" boyfriend, Angie makes up a pretend boyfriend... who then becomes a pretend fiance... Cane.  Only problem?  She & Cane have never even talked much, more or less dated!  Before Thanksgiving, Cane is maneuvered into participating in a Bachelor Auction by his sister - and since Angie has told her parents Cane, her fiance, is coming home with her at Thanksgiving - she panics and wins him in the auction.  Cane's always been intrigued by Angie so he agrees to help her out, figuring he'll get some sheet action - but what he doesn't realize is that she is a virgin.Naturally they fall for each other... there are moments of panic... and there is a "happily ever after" - but in between all of that is a really great story about coming to terms with the difference between younger ideals and the realities that age brings.  In addition, Rachel Harris has such a fun way of writing!Brainscrambling kisses aside, Cane Robicheaux was a child-whispering, factoid-spouting, sister-protecting, amazing-smelling (a trait that cannot be left out) hunk of swoon-worthy material.Really - should anyone pass up that adjective laden writing?  N.O.!!  She has other little nuggets of laugh-inducing text in SEVEN DAY FIANCE, but I always think you can get the best feel for an author by reading their bio - and Rachel Harris` shows a great self-deprecating spirit that comes across in her writing.So much of an author's day is spent staring at a blank screen, talking with imaginary friends, and scaring imaginary people in Panera when you unconciously act out the scenes you are writing.  Or is that just me?Don't miss the first book in this "Love & Games" series, either - TASTE THE HEAT, which is Colby Robicheaux & Jason's story (you will "meet" them in SEVEN DAY FIANCE, too).  Great, heartwarming read for the carpool lane or when you're bored to death at soccer practice (instead of turning to your Mom friend and whining, "Isn't it over YET"??!!!???).  Go on - go get it.  Great price for the length, great writing, fun as all get-out story.  If for nothing else, it may give you some dinner ideas with all the yummy Cajun cooking that happens in it!
