Two Strangers… One passionate night… Who said anything about forever?
Avery Prescott is set to inherit Prescott Hotels on his thirtieth birthday. There’s a condition though - he must be married. The thing is, he already is. And the problem is… his groom has no idea. What was supposed to be a night of escape two years ago ended in exchanging vows with a perfect stranger.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but what happens when you can’t escape the desert heat?
Hotel lifeguard Daniel Crane never expected to see the man who walked out on him after a passionate night two years ago. He’s been trying so hard to forget about Avery, and he almost succeeded… until he shows up telling Daniel the truth about their "wedding”. All Daniel wants to do is run - but the problem is, his family’s ranch is in trouble and Avery is offering a hefty sum in exchange for his discretion. Suddenly playing house doesn't seem so bad. He'd do anything for his family after all...
If it's just pretend then why does it feel so right?
What was supposed to be an easy exchange soon turns complicated. When meddling exes, concerned family members and unexpected feelings surface Avery and Daniel are left with questions. What does their sham marriage really mean? And why is it that it doesn't feel like a sham at all...

No relationship or character development; very little dialogue; low steam.
The story skipped from scene to scene without ever showing the MCs in the moment.
Certain plot points were introduced, like the failing family ranch, and never mentioned again.
So many things just didn't add up:
Danny's close-knit family just accepts that he never told them about having a boyfriend and getting married.
Avery's grandfather doesn't investigate the legality of the marriage.
For two years, Danny has no clue that he's married to a millionaire. What about taxes?? There are legalities involved!
The editing was passable, but the book fell flat. The prologue was the best part.

*I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review.*
Ugh! A lot of eye-rolling going on here.
The BIGGEST issue I have with the book is lack of conversation. The entire book (at least until the MCs have their falling out) is only monologues and a little bit of conversation thrown in. It was suddenly bizarre to see so much communication happening between them right when they have their first fight. Also, when did they fall in love? When they reconnected intimately after two years? That's all that is needed to rekindle a love that I'm not sure was even there? Really?
Avery's grandfather was such an important character, yet we don't get to meet him until the end, and then, too, there is no character development.
The second issue that got under my skin and gave me hives is that their was no prelude to them going to an event. There would be a mention of some upcoming event on either side, and then we would see them at the venue, with no mention of how they interacted (IF they interacted) or anything else, really.
It would have been great to see some character development for ALL characters. No one stands out to me at the end of the book as per how they were as a person. This book had nothing that registered on my radar that I could tag this book with to remember it by. I guess I will only have to go with my rating.
The start was promising, as it promised a lot of great things. But the execution sucked. The book needed beta reader(s). It's just a sad attempt to deliver a story that had a great potential. A Harlequin Presents book with the same storyline could have done a better job, in my opinion.
I'm just a very disgruntled reader right now. I basically skipped the narration at the end, to only read the dialogues that I finally got my hands on, only because I didn't want to DNF at 80%. That sort of giving up I absolutely loathe.

I enjoyed this first book from Parker. The writing was good and flowed well. I would have liked more from these characters though. Avery is a rich businessman and Daniel is a lifeguard. 2 very different men that find themselves married after a 1 night stand. I found myself wanting to know more about the time they were apart. 2 years later Avery is back to ask Daniel to stay married to him until he gets his inheritance. Daniel agrees but I would have wanted him to make Avery work for it more. Of course they fall in love and get a HEA. There was little angst and really no love scenes in it either. It was a quick read for me and I will definitely read more from Parker..Received a copy for a honest review.
October 21, 2016
I really really enjoyed this. It had some angst to it but not much. it was a totally sweet story and very enjoyable. This was an amazing debut story by Parker and I am so glad I got to review it. I cannot wait to see what is next by this author. :)

Cute story. Made me smile. Needed better editing. Would have loved more depth. Still I enjoyed it.

I was glad when I read that this was Parker Elliot’s first book. I will certainly give one of his other books a chance, but I can’t say I loved this one. The story was fine, however, this book suffered from several problems that bother me.
The story seemed to jump from scene to scene without a smooth transition. The relationship was insta love (which doesn’t necessarily bother me) but then to not have any contact for two years. We never find out what happened with the media when Daniel didn’t show up for Avery’s big event. The worst problem of all was there was too much of the dreaded inner monologue. I have to admit it caused skimming which I hate to do.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.
For a first book it had promise and was an enjoyable read.
I think this book would have benefited by being longer though. I felt big bits were missing which kind of made the relationship between Danny and Avery not seem strong/real.
I would have liked to have seen more of their initial meeting their feelings of a "connection" could have been explored more. Then the two years spent apart that needed more bulking up.
I think the book gained feeling and believability after the phone call when Danny didn't turn up at the event and Avery didn't acknowledge fully why.
The writing flowed and the story had good pace but I defiantly think it being longer would have been better.

This book was just like cotton-candy; light and sweet. Danny and Avery first meet one night in Vegas and are married that same night while drunk. The next morning, Avery lies to Danny that it was all fake. Two years later, Avery needs to be married to claim his inheritance and turns to Danny (his still legal husband) for help. The book, like I said before, is short and sweet and if you are in the mood for something light and fun, than this should hit the spot.

Danny and Avery will keep your attention. The story is well written and I look forward to reading from this author again. Short, sweet, angsty and surprising. Hint to the author... I wouldn't mind reading more about these guys. :D Great first book! There were a few things I would have liked to read more about and I would read a continuation in a heartbeat. I have voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy for my honest opinion and review.

I liked it. For a first book it was good. I would read another book from this author.
Just two things:
1. The misunderstanding about Avery's reaction for the party. Danny was too much of a victim.
2. How if they're supposedly married, they don't live together O_o and I'm not talking about the two years prior.

This is my review of 24Hour Husband. To me the book was missing something. Avery and Danny love didn't seem real. It was a hit and miss, maybe if it was longer. But overall the writing was good. I voluntary reviewed this book for an honest review.

I picked this up because I was after a lighthearted, fun read, and fair enough it was, but it had no depth to it. Everything happened so quick and it felt like it was missing scenes because it just skipped over so much of the important stuff between Avery and Daniel. They met up after two years and they were just in love with each other, when did they even fall in love?? There was no character development for anyone.
Also, why was Daniels close family OK with the fact that he'd gotten married without telling them??
This was only 167 pages so it's a very short book but I still struggled to finish it.

Pheraps I just relay too much of my opinion in one of my favorites stories about arranged marriage, but this one -not a dissapoint- was so fast in the plot, i feel like i was running throw the lack of relationship.
The story could be so good, the plot is so sweet, the characters with a little bit of development and a more oportunity of chatting within them could give much more love for the story.
But I can't say I don't like it. It had a very sweet mensaje about how to care and put a effort into your relationship, and Danny's family was quite amazing and lovely, even the granny with her recommendations. Just need a little bit of work.

This is a first novel from this author. Going for him is the premise which is super intriguing and if fleshed out could have really been special. I think the lack of dialogue was a major limitation to this book. There was simply way too much telling about things after the fact and we don't really get good insight into the characters and their motivations because we can't fathom what they were thinking or why. The characters did things that appeared to have no rhyme or reason as we weren't let in on their plans. It really was a bit frustrating. We couldn't figure why someone would be uninhibited enough to get married and disappear for a couple years with zero contact the entire time. That's because that arc was not explored in enough depth. All we got were the apologies after the fact.
The big argument to me was silly because no matter how dramatic a situation, unless you are directly involved, dead and/or paralyzed there is simply no reason to not reach out and call your spouse who you must know is expecting to hear from you. Not once in your worry could you spare a moment to answer the phone when you are aware your spouse who you are growing to love is frantic because he can't find you and is left to bear shame because you basically left him stranded in front of his peers?In this instance Daniel was a total ass and I found myself so disgusted. Many people, including the author obviously, expect Avery to take the blame for his annoyance because he had the nerve to expect a tiny bit of respect from Daniel. Daniel was a gaslighter and emotionally immature in many ways and I found myself in dislike.
Suffice it to say, unlikeable character behavior is difficult to overcome and I think this could have been avoided with more character development and dialog. I will look out for more from this author because there was certainly enough here to show promise. This particular book just wasn't enough. 2 stars.

Reversal of Events...
It was a nice and enjoyable read. It made me laugh, sometimes it made me cry. I really enjoyed Avery (the Prescott Hotels' heir- only if he's married by the time he turns 30 years old) and Danny's chemistry (the lifeguard, comic geek and artist). Something happens to both of them (I normally hate reading epilogues, but everyone should read this before even proceeding to the main storyline) and no spoilers here.
I wish that it were longer. I'd pay extra bucks for it to be longer.
It was fun reading it how the two "rekindled" their relationship, though it didn't really disappear to begin with.
The two have a really great chemistry! The author's writing had a good continuity and never felt I needed caffeine to wake me up.

Another great book by this author! I will admit the premise for some reason didn't sit comfortably with me at first. Because of that I struggled through the first half of the book, I especially hated Avery's Ex Christian so those parts were tough. However, in the end the story as a whole more than worked well and I did truly enjoy it. The chapter just before the epilogue with is proposal scene out at Avery and Danny's special spot on the ranch was particularly tear-worthy! I can't wait till Mr. Elliot publishes his next book!

This is the first book by author Parker Elliot and I don't imagine it will be my last. I loved 24 Hour Husband; it hit all my buttons: the drunken wedding at Las Vegas wedding chapel, the early morning exit with one thinking it was a fake marriage. I thought it was an excellent entertaining romp. I liked Parker's writing, sentence structure, and his word usage. It appears I have another author to be on the lookout for books. I recommend this to anyone for an entertaining read.

An exceptionally well written story!
A tale of two men going through life and finally getting it right. There are many different twists and turns to keep the reader interested. It would e nice if this was the first of a series about their relationship and life together. Maybe earlier about the grand folks.

Die Grundidee der Story fand ich ganz süß, daher habe ich es auch zu Ende gelesen, aber der Schreibstil war echt gar nicht meins... vielleicht komme ich mit dieser amerikanischen Art auch nicht klar, aber es hat sich die ganze Zeit wie ein Fremdkörper angefühlt... sehr schade

So many opportunities for a little angst but all of them were ignored. Just too shallow for me.

For a first novel, this had a really strong start. 'Fake marriage turned real' is one of my favorite tropes, and there is usually a lot more depth to them than is implied by the blurb. I loved the start here, and even though there could have been more development in the middle - who doesn't check to see if they're still married after a drunken marriage ceremony in Vegas? Who just shows up after 2 years needing a favor from fake marriage husband? Why was Danny's family so unperturbed by the fact that Danny married a billionaire without their knowledge? Why didn't anyone on Avery's end look into Danny to see he was a lifeguard ie not anywhere in Avery's social circles, or just look into him at all really? Still, I let all of that pass, and just rode along with the light and fluffy. But what I couldn't let pass was the weak conflict.
I hate when authors use weak, manufactured angst. It is a copout, and I feel it's kind of lazy. It was understandable that Danny was frazzled, and worried sick, when his grandmother fell and hit her head the night of Avery's big event. What was not understandable was him supposedly repeatedly trying to call Avery, without being able to leave a voicemail (supposedly because Avery's mailbox was full). Send a text!! It would have almost been better if he hadn't tried to call at all. Phone reception in hospitals tend to suck anyway, so it would have been better to use that angle, or have Danny think about calling, and then the doctors came out, or the text failed to send..anything. But to show that Danny had the time, and the presence of mind, to try reach Avery, and not use a simple, every day, common sense solution, grinds my gears. Danny was the guest of honor and they had been planning for this event for weeks. THEN, to compound matters, the author tried to put it all on Avery as being insensitive or whatever, for asking if Danny couldn't send a text. Nope. Wrong. He expressed concern about Danny's grandmother first, and it was a legitimate question! So, that further lost me. Now, I'm just skimming to get to the end.
Then, out of nowhere, they're exchanging I love yous, and I guess decided to stay married because all of a sudden it's all lovey dovey and they're renewing vows. What? When did all of this happen? All they initially had was one drunken night. There needed to be more development. The epilogue was cute, but by then I was so annoyed I skimmed that too.
This author has great potential. I'm sure subsequent books will show growth.

This book evoked in my mind the vision of a table top full of the necessary components to bake a good cake with the heated oven buzzing nearby, all that misses being the sure hand of a cook and some tender, loving care. Indeed, the writer did not seem to have been bothered about tweaking the literary shaping of his plot until it made sound sense and read smoothly, for nothing quite gels between these covers. The matrimonial aspects could hardly have been handled in worse fashion, legally speaking; as the family and corporate matters similarly strain credibility a lot, while everything that pertakes of the interaction between the protagonists is both minimal and incredibly unrealistic, thus creating an increasingly gaping distance between them and the reader (the newly wed barely talk to each other in present time as opposed to the events of three years ago and in excessive contrast with their internal monologuing), the story could not be expected to succeed. The barely there writing, in which the lack of solid copy-editing is conspicuous, does not help. Definitely not recommended even for lovers of fluff.

Don’t let the cover fool you, this isn’t a light hearted romance
I judge Books based on covers, (don’t judge me, we all do it), and the cover indicated this would be a fun, flirty romance, but instead it was quite angsty and emotional and very, very obviously a first publication by a new author. The characters weren’t especially differentiated, which I think may simply be that the author hadn’t had enough practice defining his characters and making them different and memorable. There was a lot of the story that was told from a sterile perspective, but there was plenty that also hit the emotional buttons. I’d say this author has plenty of potential and I look forward to reading his fifth publication (because that’s about the number it takes to get into the swing of things).

There were severe lack of a lot in this, flat characters, and no development of the relationship on the page. It's short, and having added a 100 pages of depth wouldn't have been amiss.
I never disliked this, but the last couple of chapters and the stupid miscommunication, not listening trope showed up and I felt a bit feed up. It needs to be done right, or it can destroy a lot for me, and it did. The small feelings I did have for Avery and Danny just made me pissed then.
What nags me most is how Danny dumped everything on Avery, Avery owned up to his faults but Danny didn't and he was in the wrong too, Yeah Danny you fucked up too.

24 Hour Husband
OK, so this was a nice, sweet story wrapped around a lot of 'no-fcking-way-did-that-just-happen'
And while this is no fairytale per se I needed a little of that famous fairytale dust sprinkled on top of everything to make that 'I-can't-believe-any-of-this' somewhat believable.
And they did live happily ever after.
And I'll keep reading 📖

4.5 stars Beautiful HEA
Elliot's first novel features Avery, scion to a hotel empire, and Danny, cartoonist and lifeguard, following a drunken Las Vegas wedding. As they dance around one another two years later, the story twists and curves with delight. The contrasts of family, ex's, lifestyle are handled nicely and leave the reader caring for the two men.
