I enjoyed this sweet book. Yes, it was cliched, the typical need a fake fiance/girlfriend/wife for business purposes book. But what made it stand out is Emily. She is so naive in one sense, but talks herself into going along with the scheme knowing she would most likely be hurt. The hero, Guy, wasn't quite as endearing. He was quite dense, but he had an excuse in the form of a psychob*tch ex-wife who left his children in dirty diapers while having sex with another man. Unforgiveable!The best part of the story is the interaction with the tycoon whom Guy hopes to impress with his "family values." When the entire scheme falls apart, Guy has to admit that he is an idiot! Fortunately, Emily does not put gigantic obstacles in his path and once Guy realizes his mistake, he is able to shower her with the love and future she dreams of.I enjoyed the premise without a lot of angst. Perfect beach read, or in my case, a read while exercising on the stair-stepper.
