He can’t believe it when he proposes to the city girl, but no one is more surprised than Celeste when she actually says “I do!” to the sexy rodeo star.

Terrible premise. Sports reporter Celeste Montgomery needs to nail an interview with rodeo star Geoff Burris, but she finds he's out of the country. So second choice - Geoff's brother Ross, also a rodeo star, but not the level of Geoff. And Ross has a problem. A publicity nightmare that paints him as a womanizer, love 'em and leave 'em type. When Celeste and Ross meet for the first time!, he immediately deciedes the solution to both their problems is to fake an engagement! Come on! Really? After 15 minutes of a lunch meeting? They spend the next 30 days getting to know each other, and guess what? The engagement isn't fake anymore.

Short and sweet. I love marriage of convenience my only issue was that their time together was so short before they fell in love. The book is 200 pages so that's not surprising but it was super cute for what we got. My conclusion from reading this is that I need to read more cowboy stories!!!! And marriage of convenience!!!!!!!! It really is one of my favorite tropes that I like never read in actual books.

love in 30 days

I loved this book from page one. I liked the concept of marriage to help both of them. Love always takes over in any marriage. I which they would have communicated what they both felt before it was too late. I rate this book as ***** five stars. I love a true love story.

I did not buy into the romance at all. I didn't believe the characters' supposed chemistry. Not a fan of this particular book.

The Maverick's Thirty Day Marriage

Ross and Celiste meeting was truly one of love at first sight. Which made it hard for them to try and keep their agreement for a pretend marriage
