Bride on Loan
HIRING MS. RIGHT
Caleb Tanner has a reputation for being a playboy with an aversion to weddings. He's determined not to marry, but he's surrounded by women scheming to get him to the altar! Caleb needs a decoy: a bride on loan....
Sabrina Saunders isn't thrilled about moving in with Caleb. The man's a born charmer and far too attractive for his own good! He's also her agency's biggest client so she's forced to play the part of Caleb's bride-to-be. It's only for a couple of weeks -- or so they both think.

This is the second book on a trilogy about the female business owners of an upscale maid/gopher service.
With Leigh Michaels stories, I typically reserve one memorable romantic scene per book. Unfortunately this book has none. Aside from their novel first encounter, where the heroine literally sweeps him off his feet so he ends up with crutches, this book was too busy explaining away the business commitments of the company. The end-result then was an unconvincing love story. The hero is supposedly some hot-shot playboy who’s blasé about scheming women yet falls in love with this particular girl after being forced into close quarters with her (put like that, it sounds like Stockholm syndrome). But why this woman? I never got the feeling that there was anything special about the heroine, aside from the fact that she’s a successful and klutzy small business owner.
I read it just to finish the whole series. If you're not as obsessive as I am, skip this book. The books in the series are: Husband on Demand, Bride on Loan, and Wife on Approval.
