Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Tyler:1) He's a musician.2) He wears tight jeans and big belt buckles.3) He's incredibly down to earth and sweet.4) He writes his own lyrics!5) He is great with dogs.6) He writes the sweetest notes ever via post-its and puts them on the bathroom mirror.7) He's incredibly dedicated to the important things in his life. (His family, his music, his fake marriage to a spunky, curvy, purple haired vixen...)8.) He's a great kisser."Sherry's question cut short as Tyler's mouth crashed down. The whimper in her throat said she didn't mind. It vibrated through him, and he clutched her close, her taste exploding on his tongue."9). He has a sense of humor.10) He's perfect for my homegirl Sherry.If that isn't enough to get you to buy this book, let me expand a bit:Rachel Harris just has this knack for writing and creating characters that will leave an impression on you. We met Sherry Robicheaux in Harris's first book in the series Taste the Heat, and she's known as Magnolia Springs' wild child. She's spunky, fun, and spontaneous. She believes in love and the fairy tale endings, but unfortunately it hasn't quite happened for her yet. Seeing her older sister and brother settling down, Sherry is feeling rather wistful in this book. She's always been drawn to the exciting, dangerous guys before, but now she realizes they just end up leaving you with a whole lot of heartbreak. After her most recent relationship disaster, Sherry has decided it's time to find a safe, reliable guy (aka Mr. Boring). AFTER she goes to cater an event in Las Vegas of course. Sherry has one more weekend to sow her wild oats before coming home and what better way to do that than with a sexy roadie working for a famous country group? Sherry seems to have missed the memo that what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. Waking up to find out you're married kind of makes that a moot point.The so-called roadie that Sherry found herself having one last hurrah with? He's none other than the very popular Tyler Blue of the band Blue. Having Sherry not know who he was, was refreshing and for once, Tyler just wanted to have a fun-filled weekend with a crazy, fun, beautiful girl. Getting married is very low on Tyler's list of priorities and isn't something he ever seems himself doing. His focus is 100% on his career and this is the last thing he needs.... according to him. With all the other popular country singers being married, the industry firmly believes that being in love is what's selling and making hits. Tyler Blue is no exception. His publicist thinks maybe waking up in Vegas might not have been such a bad idea after all....Whew boy. Tyler and Sherry are definitely attracted to one another. They have the explosive chemistry and the bite your lip in anticipation sexual tension going on. Pretending to be married isn't going to be a walk in the park for either one. Tyler makes it clear that he's not looking for a real relationship- just enough of one to give the critics what they want. Sherry agrees to help Tyler, but tells him while they're pretending, she wants to own it. The last thing she needs is everyone making a mockery of her in her own hometown. She wants the fairy tale and if they're going to do this, they're going to do it well.However, with both of them being so attracted to one another and then forming a friendship, can hearts really be left out of the equation?Fans of the series will get to briefly see Angie, Cane, Emma, Jason, and Colby in this book and will also be introduced to Charlie, Tyler's bandmate, who isn't afraid to go after the ladies.I love that both Sherry and Tyler are genuine characters and truly want what's best for the other. Tyler's reasoning for no relationship attachments are legitimate and not just put in to create a bunch of drama and angst. The more time he spends with Sherry, the more he feels confused about what's happening and the things he's feeling. Even though Sherry has been burned by love, I'm glad she hasn't turned into a hardcore cynic. She still holds out hope that she'll find her own happiness. She's the real deal folks. Pretending to be Tyler's wife, where he's surrounded by beautiful, gorgeous women can be intimidating and she sometimes thinks that maybe when their relationship is all said and done it would be better for him to be with someone different. Sherry is not overly insecure though and I really like that she is proud and loves herself.Overall, this book is definitely worth picking up. Harris writes such fluid, fast-paced, FUN stories and the romances are spot on! She creates some palpable sexual tension, but doesn't overdo any of the romantic scenes and make them feel cheesy or anything like that. You'll fall in love with both Sherry and Tyler and will be crossing your fingers in hopes that these crazy kids will figure out that sometimes getting accidentally married on purpose is the way to go....
