Do you like books about fake engagements and the best friend's older brother trope? In Fiancée for Hire by Tawna Fenske, you get them both, along with a little suspense, intrigue, and a hot couple that discovers love in the middle of a battlefield.Mac Patton is a former marine that has made a small fortune using his military prowess to covertly protect the innocent from terrorist organizations throughout the world. He is good looking, smart, and has witnessed a ton of savagery in his lifetime.  Now he needs a sweet and modest bride to ensure the success of his present assignment in Mexico. He asks his sister to help him find a woman that will keep his secrets and serve as his fake fiancee for a few weeks.  His sister sends her best friend to help him out.Veterinarian Kelli Landers has had a crush on Mac since she was a young girl, so being his fiancee for a few weeks is not a hardship.  Besides, in her spare time she can neuter the cat population, which just happens to be out of control in the area that she will be portraying the doting bride-to-be. In addition, Kelli wants Mac in her bed, and she has no qualms about using her sexuality to seduce him. She is a far cry from sweet and modest.Mac and Kelli are great characters. To begin with, Kelli is a strong heroine that can take care of herself. Her surgical skills are second to none and Ms. Fenske does a wonderful job of combining humor and laughter with the task of neutering. Kelli and a scalpel, perfect together. Mac is a slightly dangerous guy that carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. His constant astonishment about Kelli's job and accomplishments is truly palpable.This is a well written book that keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The story is nicely paced and the characters are well developed and likeable. Although this is book two in Ms. Fenske's Front and Center series, it can be read as a standalone.  However, book one, Marine for Hire, is really good, so you may want to check it out.Complimentary copy provided by Entangled Publishing.
