Originally posted on my blog: www.book-scents.comI seriously love Rachel Harris' writing! She writes such amazing imagery and just makes me feel right there in that setting. She has a way with words and every time I start one of her books it just makes me smile!In Seven Day Fiance, Angelle Prejean is in need of a fake fiance for a week to present to her family. When Angelle left her town and her family, she did it to start over, to have a clean slate and figure out who she really was. She wants to be able to show her family that she has things figured out and in a desperate move to further that image, made up a fake fiance. When she "wins" Cane in a bachelor auction, the solution is perfect -- bring Cane for a week back to see her family and relegate him to being her fiance.Cane is probably the best fake fiance anyone could ever ask for. He likes to relish in his bad boy image and he pulls it off quite well, leather jacket, tattoos and all but he's really a closet nerd who loves math. (Closet nerd factor exponentially increases the hotness, trust me.) Anyway, due to certain misgivings he has about love and relationships, he's not a fan but fake he can pull -- especially with Angelle.The interactions between him and everyone he meets in Angelle's hometown is really sweet. You get to see the real Cane! And holy crap muffins, you can't help but love him. He's smart, business minded and ultra protective of the people he loves. You can see why this fake relationship is just more fodder to add to the fire of Angelle's attraction.My only problem was the timeline. Their feelings escalated so quickly. I understand they've known each other and worked together for months but they have only just found out enough about each other to reach close friend status during this fake fiance week. The jump from that to something more was definitely feasible but seemed so quick, especially given Cane's previous reservations about relationships in general.Other than that, Seven Day Fiance is a sweet romance that I really enjoyed! Rachel Harris paints this great picture of Cajun country and Cajun food and has me wanting to eat everything mentioned in the book! She has a knack for making you feel like you're right there in the book and when that involves yummy food and an even yummier Cane, I am so on board.
