Fake Wife for Dr. Secret Daddy
I’m knocked up after a night with my brother’s cocky billionaire doctor friend.
My crush was under control until he showed up on my birthday.
He had gifts that sparked flames hotter than a surgeon's scalpel.
6’4, Dr. Beautiful Ted Gates appeared God-like and charismatic.
And beaming down at me, with charming stormy gray eyes as he grinned.
Beneath his crisp white unbuttoned shirt was an exposed delicious chest.
He had confidence and a regal demeanor that fit his persona.
He made me see stars that night and exploded inside me like fireworks.
Then my innocence became history and so did he.
And I’m now his sweet kid’s new nanny when he returned.
To secure his inheritance, I allowed him to bulldoze me into a marriage.
Our relationship is as fake as my smile.
But I have secret scores to settle with his dad, and I need him by my side. And not only for my family land that he promised in return.
But I kind of liked it when he whispered, leaning in.
“We are husband and wife now.” At our fairytale wedding.
Will the inferno roar or sizzle when he learns that I bore his twins?

A riveting story of Dr Billionaire Ted and his best friend’s younger sister Winnie. Ted takes 20 year old Winnie out for her birthday as a favour for her brother who is overseas on duty, the night ended with fireworks!
Over the next couple of years Winnie goes through pain, heartbreak, twists and turns before Ted comes back into her life and the storyline continues to be filled with intrigue, lies, heartache, unexpected twists.
Well written, believable characters in a quick read that keeps the pages turning I read in one sitting.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Winnie and Ted. The author takes you into their lives with mystery, twists and steam. She moves the story fluidly with her descriptive scenes and delivers a terrific read.

Confusing and Needs Editing
Some of the problems I had with this story:
1) This novella needs editing. Most of the time, the beginning quotes were missing from sentences containing a dialogue although the ending quotes were in place at the end of the sentence.
2) I don’t know if English is the author’s first language or not but there are some glaring language missteps.
For example, the saleswoman at a jewelry store was referred to as the “waitress”, “toaster machine” was used instead of “toaster”, “toasted bread” was requested at a restaurant instead of just “toast”, “cheque” was used instead of “check”, “reckon” was sprinkled throughout (just who uses that term in Las Vegas anyway), “matron” was used instead of something like “head administrator”, and I won’t go into the impossibility of what happens at the end of that scene with the matron, etc.
3) The MMC considers that the MFC is his soulmate but then when he thinks about her he thinks that he really likes her instead of being in love with her.
4) Also I really must have missed something in the story since in chapter 12 the MMC and MFC had their wedding reception. Later in the story, the MMC wants to get married for real and he even told his father that he and Winnie weren’t married. That made absolutely no sense since chapter 12 describes them saying their wedding vows and covered their wedding reception.
Needless to say, this novella needs more work to be done on it.

This tale is Winnie, and Ted’s story, when you face difficult choices that will shape the fate of you both. An enduring love of hope and redemption, that was hard-won through soul-rending sacrifices, deceit, and pain. This short read is original, well-written, and enthralling

Enjoyed reading this book by Elsa Duke. Liked the twists in the story that you weren’t expecting, and Elsa knows how to write her spice in all the right places.

The book is well-written and easy to read, but the content is much more absurd than any mafia stories I know.

Could have been better
A different storyline to the norm and I was expecting great things but I think this was a mediocre book, not as good as some of this writers other books.

I just couldn't really get into the story. I felt like the plot was lacking. Overall I didn't care for this one.
I received an arc and this review is my own.

Ted is Winnie’s older brothers best friend. They have one night together when she is 20 and she gets pregnant. You’ll have to read this book to find all the twists and turns that go from there. Enjoy the read.
