The Pretend Proposal

by Jackie Braun

Thomas Waverly, successful CEO and serial dater, is anything but a pushover. But what's a man to do when pinned by the wistful, trembling eyes of his "frail" grandmother, uttering the words "Before I die..."? Emotional blackmail at its most effective... Thomas needs to find a fake fiancee--fast!
Elizabeth Morris is looking for a way to save her charity, so when she's offered a pretend proposal in return for a generous donation, it seems harmless enough! But, when your "groom" is this gorgeous, there's a fine line between faking it and falling for real....

Thomas Waverly needs a bride. And fast.

So when Elizabeth Morris happens to be in his office, he gives her a unusual proposal. Be his fiancé for a weekend.

Elizabeth Morris is shocked by the offer but agrees to it since she needs fund for her projects in her company.

Now, both of these characters get a great weekend of their lifetime and one is questioning whether to make this arrangement a bit more permanent...



This book is really cute and romantic but didn't really stick so much to me. It is nice in a way since I am a sucker for women who are strong and independent.

But I do give this book a thumbs up!
A great reading if you want something light and fluffy.

This was pretty good. The ending was kind of rushed, but sweet. The story starts with Thomas promising his seemingly ailing grandmother that he's finally settled down with a woman. The grandmother assumes he's getting married and wants to meet his fiance that weekend. So he has a week to find a woman to pose as his fiance. Being such a rich stud no woman is able to resist, he can't ask one of his usual women for fear they'd want something more. But fortunately, Elizabeth shows up to his offices, asking for a donation for her non profit organization. He offers her a donation in exchange for her help as his pretend fiance. She agrees, but immediately there are sparks. And neither of them know how long it can all stay pretend.

The story was pretty predictable. It ends pretty much how you'd expect it to. But it was sweet watching it all happen. I enjoyed this. It was a fun, quick read.
