Roseanne is a corporate attorney with the personal goal of making partner by next year. Winthrop is the owner of a multimillion dollar engineering company in Texas, and after firing Roseanne's firm after they represented him in a messy divorce, he is seen as the client that got away. When Winthrop visits Seattle he drops in to see if there is anything his former law firm can do about a new problem he is having, his ex-wife spreading rumors about a reconciliation. While there is nothing legally that can be done Roz comes up with her own idea to show the world that Win wants nothing to do with his ex any longer. Her brilliant plan, pretend to be Win's fiancee until the heat dies down, but neither suspect just how real their pretend romance would become.Since picking up Marriage by Mistake as a Kindle freebie I have been hooked on Alyssa Kress's books. She hasn't disappointed me once. I really liked the Fiancee Fiasco. Like her previous books it had just thr right amount of comedy mixed in with romance and emotion. I loved the characters of Roseanne and Winthrop (as a side not I happen to hate both of those names, but that has no bearing on the book lol besides they eventually got shortened to Win and Roz).I really thought that the premise behind this story was really fresh and original. The story flowed really well and was quite entertaining. I really liked that the author introduced us to Win's family as this provided a lot of insight into his own character.I absolutely loved the end of this book. I think my favorite thing about Win and Roz (or any of Ms. Kress's characters) is that no matter how unrealistic the situation, they read like real people with real feelings and emotions that the reader can relate to.As always I look forward to reading more from this author.
