I really liked the premise behind this book.  Story is about Carrie, who is a cop in LA, but decides to take a job in the very small town of Moss Beach as chief of police.  Story takes place where Lonely Millionaire, another of Carol Grace's books takes place, so we get to see previous characters (Mandy, Adam and Mandy's sister Laurie).  Carrie's reasons for taking the job were to get away from the danger of LA, but mostly, to be away from Matt, her current partner, the man she was in love with.  Like many have noted, the book has many editing issues, typos, use of incorrect words, etc.  If you can overlook this, then this is a good story to read.  I have read a few books by this author and have become used to the editing problems so they don't bother me as much.  I really like her story plots, her characters are well developed and stories are usually sweet and cute so I keep coming back!  But if editing is a pet peeve, I suggest you try other books.Anyway, Carrie goes to this town, but she lets everyone believe that she is engaged, only problem was she dneed to find a fiance.  In her quest for a fiance, Matt volunteers to help her.  Carrie has mixed feelings, she wants the job badly, but being around Matt for two weeks would make forgetting him and saying goodbye even harder.  They arrive at the small town and Carrie is loving it. She is having a good time, and Matt is by her side playing the perfect fiance.  Matt was hoping that Carrie would get bored and would go back with him, he even tried to sabotage her job.  Soon they find themselves too deep into their pretend engagement and things get complicated.Story was cute, characters were great and story was sweet.  I loved revisiting some of the old characters from her previous books.  If you are looking for something fun and light, this is a good choice, but if editing is a problem, then I suggest something else.
