Beaumont Creek #4
Four-ever Single
When I stood at the altar, saying vows to my fake husband, I didn’t expect them to feel so real.
Jones and I hadn’t been dating long enough to throw the L word around, yet it flowed off my tongue so easily, just like everything when it came to him. Our chemistry was off the charts from the very first touch, nearly setting things on fire as often as the ones he set in the kitchen when he cooked.
But everything in my life suddenly got flipped upside down when I learned that my grandmother left everything to me in her estate. The only problem? I had to be married by my twenty-fifth birthday in order to claim my inheritance.
There was a lot to plan in under two weeks, all while making sure everyone believed our shotgun wedding was real. The last thing I needed was for my vindictive cousin to come in and contest the marriage in court before the six-month stipulation passed.
Loving Jones was easy. But nothing could have prepared me for how hard my heart would break when his life was on the line, and I was the one to blame.

Bella learns that when her grandmother passed away, she left everything to her, leaving out the rest of their family. Obviously this causes some tension in her family, especially when everyone learns that Bella has to be married by her next birthday which is quickly approaching. Jones, Bella's most recent hookup, steps in and the two of them come to an agreement to pull off a relationship and wedding that looks believable in under two weeks.
No surprise here, but Samantha does it again! We're back in Beaumont Creek with the infamous firefighter Jones and his lack of cooking skills. Don't worry, because what he lacks in the kitchen, he makes up for in other areas. Bella is the sweetest lingerie model who constantly feels the disapproval from her family. Bella and Jones are instantly attracted to each other and there's no slowing them down.
I've been hooked on this series since book one and I'm still loving this series for books later. From reading his smaller parts in previous books, I knew I'd like Jones. What I wasn't expecting was that I'd absolutely love him. Like almost as much as I love Capshaw from book three.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You love a cinnamon roll hero, a sweet heroine, instalust with a dash of suspense.

There’s something just great about Samantha Baca’s books. If you’re looking for a fast paced (in the good way) book that brings you all the feels while still being spicy then this is the book for you. Feel good romance in a small town but with way more spice then you’d ever expect 🥵🫣🤭. I’ve read quite a few of her books and have loved them all!

Samantha definitely knows how to write a spicy story and this one doesn’t disappoint. Four-ever Single is the fourth book in the Beaumont Creek series and features Jones and Bella. Even though this is part of a series it’s perfect as a standalone book. There is instant attraction between Jones and Bella and throw in a marriage of convenience with heaps of spice then you have the perfect relationship and story.

This is the fourth book of the Beaumont Creek series, but my first by this author. Although I have not read the previous books, I had no trouble reading this as a standalone. After her grandmother passes away, Bella suddenly inherits everything, and the other family members are not happy about it. But before she can claim it all, she has to be married by her 25th birthday, which is quickly approaching, so she doesn't have much time to figure things out. Matthew Jones is the local firefighter and her most recent hook-up. They agree to enter into a marriage of convenience. There was instant attraction between the two, and it didn't take long for their fake relationship to turn into something real. Bella and Matthew were really great characters and the sparks between them were undeniable. The story was both sweet and spicy and I loved the small town vibe. After reading this, I definitely want to go back and read the books I missed!

Loved it
Samantha has brought us back Beaumont Creek with another sexy firefighter who sets more than just the kitchen on fire. I got a glimpse of Jones in the other books and I was so excited to get to know him better in this one and Samantha did not disappoint with his character🥵 Sparks are definitely flying between Bella and Jones from the very beginning and grow into so much more. This was one I did not put down until I was done. I loved all the characters they just bring so much more to the story. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Beaumont Creek in the next one.

Bella and Jones—she’s a model for sexy lingerie and sex toys; he’s a firefighter that starts a fire nearly every time he tries to cook. She needs to get married to satisfy her grandmother’s will, and since the chemistry between them is insane, Jones proposes. It’s supposed to be temporary, but it quickly becomes obvious that it’s for keeps. She has a stalker and her cousin tries to kill her, Jones gets injured on the job, and that cements their determination to stay together and reach for their HEA. Some editing issues.

Fabulous read. I could not put this book down. This book is part of the Beaumont Creek series. Each book is a standalone. This is Jones and Bella's story. This was my first in the series, I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

Nope. Nope. Nope. DNF after chapter 5. I tried. I can't. There is no lead-up to the main characters jumping on one another. I require a story.

I was really enjoying this story, it was funny and sexy until a stalker was introduced. Then the story just got patchy, like some of the story was missing. Sad :-(

In need of an editor. The pacing was off, the characters were quite one dimensional, and the layout of the book was off putting.

This was a small town take relationship romance.

FOUR-EVER SINGLE By Samantha Baca
When I stood at the altar, saying vows to my fake husband, I didn’t expect them to feel so real.
Jones and I hadn’t been dating long enough to throw the L word around, yet it flowed off my tongue so easily, just like everything when it came to him. Our chemistry was off the charts from the very first touch, nearly setting things on fire as often as the ones he set in the kitchen when he cooked.
But everything in my life suddenly got flipped upside down when I learned that my grandmother left everything to me in her estate. The only problem? I had to be married by my twenty-fifth birthday in order to claim my inheritance.
There was a lot to plan in under two weeks, all while making sure everyone believed our shotgun wedding was real. The last thing I needed was for my vindictive cousin to come in and contest the marriage in court before the six-month stipulation passed.
Loving Jones was easy. But nothing could have prepared me for how hard my heart would break when his life was on the line, and I was the one to blame.
😊What i liked -
✔ Firefighter/Forced Proximity/Romantic Comedy/ Marriage Of Convenience/Insta-Love/Small Town.
✔ This was a cute and spicy book all rolled into one. So so so cute.
✔ I have loved the snippets of these. So it was cute when they came together.
✔ Loved the suspense element in the book but specifically how it brought these two together.
✔ Loved the snippets of my previous favourite.
✔ It was Cute and spicy quick read.
🤔What could have been better -
✔ I wanted more to know what is in store for Lia.
📚Who Should read :
👶Beginners
💝Romance Lover
💍Marriage Of Convenience Romance
🏡Small Town Romance
📈My Rating : 4.5/5

Bella and Jones. This story is a fast paced spicy love story. Bella, the spicy toy model, and Jones, the fireman. Small town love story, marriage of convenience, the loss and love between the characters is bigger than the moon and stars.Add a stalker into the mix, and there is never a dull moment. There are so many feelings wrapped up in this story. The back and forth between the characters will have you both ready to scream, and madly in love. There were literally points in the story I never thought they would get it together. I loved the whole story and look forward to the next story in the series!
March 14, 2024
Sweet & spicy! I love a good small town marriage of convenience! And add in a curvy girl lingerie model & a firefighter!!🔥🔥🔥Bella & Jones have all the chemistry & he comes to the rescue when Bella’s inheritance has a stipulation that she must be married (quickly) & her cousin decides that money should be his! This book is #4 in the Beaumont Creek series.

This book will keep you turning pages, and fast!!! I loved this fake relationship, SPICY, small town romance!!! Samantha Baca is definitely an amazing author!!!
March 3, 2024
This is the 4th book in the Beaumont Creek series, and while the author states it is a stand-alone, you really need to have read her series to understand the underlying sexual tension that ignites in the first 5 chapters. As a first-time reader of this series, the book felt like insta-love and a bit fake. However, I kept with it and found a really good story, a little intrigue, and mystery around chapter 14.
My likes - cinnamon roll hero, found family, strong female lead, lots of chemistry, an intriguing storyline with a will and a stalker, and friends willing to stand by our couple no matter the circumstances.
Dislikes - Insta-love - it started off feeling like a one night stand book, but after reading Just One time (in the middle of this one), I learned the characters had a history of friendship. Also, I found it weird that the male lead was referred to by his last name throughout the whole book. We learned his real name in the later chapters, which made all their sexy time feel a bit awkward. Some chapters were very short and switch perspective just as you expected to get more details. This was a bit off-putting, but it did keep the story flowing, and for that, I was grateful.
Overall, I liked the book and thought the story was good. I just don't recommend Four-Ever Single as one's introduction to Beaumont Creek if you don't love the insta-love troupe.

Smokin Hot
A marriage of convenience for Jones and Bella occurs at the beginning of their real relationship. So, lines get blurred as this fast tracked into something special that neither of them expected. A little danger and suspense add fuel to the fire in this seemingly humble town of Beaumont Creek, luckily there is a firefighter on scene to assist. The chemistry between Jones and Bella was just as hot and made this an entertaining read.

While this book is a part of a series, this is the first one I read in this series, but it could 100% be read as a standalone.
Matthew Jones and Bella Sanchez are two individuals who really feel that they don't have a chance with one another. Jones never thought he had a chance with Bella, and Bella always had eyes for Jones, but never acted on them. They both have troubled backgrounds, Jones being passed from foster home to foster home and Bellas parents were never supportive of her choices like her grandparents were.
Bella's lovely grandmother passed away, and left everything to Bella, but with some conditions, married by 25, and a child. However, Bella is WEEKS away from her 25th Birthday and while she claims she doesn't care for whatever her grandma left, she still wants to keep it because if not, it'll end up in the wrong hands.
A few things I wish were added into the quick read were more elaboration on Bellas brother, why isn't he included in the will if him and Bella were so close, and why didn't he go to her wedding? Also, the suspense element in the book could've been orchestrated maybe throughout the whole book rather than just the end. It felt forced and I didn't see the need for it in the book. Other than that, the book was a cute, spicy, short, read!

OH WOW !!! This was a great book. It was addicted and a steamy page turner and the suspense was incredible intense. I was on the edge of the my seat and I couldn’t put it down. These characters chemistry and physical tension was mind blowing of romance. I enjoyed every scene as it was emotional and heartfelt of romance and things was spicy up. Bella and Jones relationship of affection were tempting and sizzling.
I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Trina Jones

I love coming back to Beaumont Creek! This book is all about the steamy romance of Jones and Bella. I have been waiting for Jones to get a book, so I was excited to finally read his HEA. Jones, a hot fireman, has been in the past books but is never lucky in love. Bella is a lingerie model for an adult toy store and has been burned before by men only dating her because of her job and is afraid of a love commitment. All it takes is one touch from Jones and Bella takes the leap as the electric feeling between them is undeniable. The chemistry and steam between them throughout the book is incredible! This book has it all; romance, suspense, secret hookups , and awesome dialogue. One of my favorite quotes is from Bella's best friend, Kensy, talking about a girl version of naughty photos. "A flap snap, Clam cam. Beaver teaser. Whatever you want to call it." I loved this book and can't wait for the 5th book in the series.

Jones and Bella spice up this small town romance with a marriage of convenience with a twist!
While they both seem to think they might be out of each other’s league, the universe has other plans and my goodness the sparks fly immediately! Though they don’t date for very long before a bombshell is dropped in Bella’s lap that leaves just a few short weeks to find a husband and convince everyone it’s the real deal. In a small town, nothing is a secret, and the gossip mill runs 24/7 on high speed so while the feelings between Jones and Bella are definitely real, it is a high stakes situation they find themselves in.
Since I’m apparently in my “read all of the fake dating and marriage of convenience I can find” era, I was totally here for this story! Also, while I love the build-up sometimes in these scenarios, I liked that they were already established as being together. Especially with the timeline of the book, their instant chemistry worked perfectly!
This was the first book in this series that I’ve read, but you can totally read it as a standalone. Now I need to catch up on some of the other characters and their stories!
✨Quick Notes✨
Small town
Marriage of convenience
Forced proximity
Firefighter
Lingerie model

Little bit of suspense

This series keeps getting better and better. I am going to be sad when it is over. I love how each book can be read as a stand-alone yet still allows us glimpses of the characters from each of the previous books. Bella and Jones are so good together. I love that Jones supports Bella unconditionally and her him. This book had the perfect mix of angst, romance, spice, and suspense. The twists and suspense along with their journey to their HEA. What started as an arrangement ended as their HEA.
