Nick “proposed” to Addie when they were just 5 years old and 22 years later they’re still best friends. She’s always had a secret crush on him, but he’s kept her at arm’s length and never dared to make a move on her, out of fear of ruining their friendship. Instead, he’s left a very long trail of conquests behind him and seems content to live life without ever settling down.Addie’s life has been on hold for several years, as she’s been a dedicated caregiver to her grandmother. She suddenly finds herself penniless and homeless after Grammy dies and greedy relatives enter the picture. Nick is a highly paid bodyguard, but his boss wants him to get married because his womanizing ways don’t set well with clients. So, he proposes for a second time, persuading Addie to enter into a marriage of convenience for the next 5 years, as friends only, in order to save Nick’s job and so Addie can have a home and the means to finally begin pursuing her nursing degree.Addie’s friend, Emily, enters the couple into a Honeymoon Contest and they win first prize…an all-expenses-paid trip to romantic Starfish Island! Their plan is to go their separate ways once they get there, but unbeknownst to them their prize has strings attached…they must allow their honeymoon to be filmed for a new reality show. They decide to proceed with the honeymoon and keep up appearances for the film crew. However, their short and sweet on-camera kisses very quickly turn into hot and heavy real ones. This is an incredibly sweet and fun romance that will keep you turning the pages until you see whether or not these two will continue to just play house once the honeymoon is over or finally allow their true feelings to surface. This is my favorite of Tule’s Honeymoon books so far!
