I may be an Alaskan fisherman, but I didn’t expect my catch of the day to be Alice.
When I pull her from the water and see her wet clothes clinging to all the right places, I want to strip her of them and make her mine.
By the time she’s below deck, naked in my bed— I learn that she’s more than a virgin. She’s the woman of my fucking dreams.
But I haven’t told her everything about me. My secrets will push her away.
And I don’t want that—we’re playing a game where she’s my make-believe bride ... and I can’t lose her before I turn this into something real.

Frankie Love has such a way with these storylines! These insta-wowzers connection tales are an excellent take me away break from the norm that I enjoy and look forward too! I voluntarily read advanced readers copy of this book
These two are something else! Alice is dangerous near water when Aiden is about but it brings them together so they can create one heck of a lightning storm! Misunderstandings aside, they are great for each other and their story was a steamy, sweet, heartwarming read. It's on the longer side for Frankie's books but I'd have been happy with a little longer ending. 😉
His make believe bride by Frankie love I volunteered to read this book for my honest opinion. Frankie is the queen of mountain men so this fisherman mountain man wasn't any different. Aiden is sweet and had the past where the ex-wasn't so nice and he focused on his fishing but as soon as he sees Alice he feels something, then seeing her drowning he jumps in the ice cold water. Alice has a hard time saying No so she sees herself losing control when it comes to her parents. Aiden and Alice see the sparks that are between them but not sure how to approach the idea. I liked that one day spent together got them close and gave Alice the confidence to stand up to her parents. With a promise to call they leave each other on a good note. Reunited and it felt so good, Aiden might have had a secret but it wasn't anything that can be handle but with the quick romance, Alice wasn't sure how to go about it. Alice and Aiden were both great characters have been hurt in different ways but meeting each other was the best that happened to them.
Kindle Unlimited: Yes Stand-alone: Yes Author: Frankie Love Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️ Spiciness Rating: 3/5 🌶 POV: First Person Perspective Main Couple: Aiden and Alice Trope(s): Mountain man, age-gap
A clear out my kindle freebie. Quick read with insta-everything. If you want a quickie this would be a good read.
Aiden is an Alaskan mountain man with a family fortune behind him living his days in god’s country. Still reeling from a sham of a marriage to someone who just wanted a paycheck. Now he lives his days fishing and his nights drinking. Fantasizing about his dream woman.
When he saves a woman from the water, mainly because his dog scared her and she fell, he decides then and there this woman is for him.
Alice is on a family cruise having just graduated from college. She needs an escape from her overbearing family and practicing her cello. She has an audition for the Seattle Symphony coming up. But, her music is beginning to suffer. So when she sees a fishing expedition on the schedule she signs right up.
And, then a stranger who has captivated her attention. One minute she needs to clear her head and the next the strangers is saving her. She was looking for something more.
And, he seems perfect for the adventure she is looking for.
But, she needs to return home, audition, and take her life over.
Aiden is smitten and ready to make some changes to his life to accommodate Alice.
Thing is he will have to clear up that pesky divorce first.
I love a good Frankie Love love story. This has so many awesome plusses- instalove, instalust, and over the top moments. Alice literally fell for him. So Aiden gets to be her knight in shining armor. I really enjoyed watching her start to stand up for herself as well. It was short, a good summer read, with a hea that tied up all the issues with a pretty bow and a nice little epilogue. This book was told in both points of view and I would call it sexy, sweet, with tons of heat. I received an arc of this.
This is another terrific Frankie Love insta-love story. Alice and Aiden are great characters. Aiden is a hot bearded alpha male who is distrustful of women after his ex-wife. However, one encounter with Alice and he know she is his. I like Alice as well. She had been smothered by her parents and was ready to take the reigns of her life. One fall into the cold Alaska waters begins what will turn out to be their HEA.

When you find yourself looking for a fast paced, quick, sexy read Frankie Love is the best. I have loved all of her Mountain men books and Aiden and Alice's story is no different. Aiden is a big, gorgeous mountain man who needs nothing but a boat and his dog. Alice is a timid woman who just wants to make her own decision. When a chance meeting lands them in icy water (pun intended), they melt through everything with their passion. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Another scorching hot wilderness mountain man brought to life by the absolutely fabulous Frankie Love, it's what she does!
This book is a love story brought to life by a fantastic author, starting with a chance meeting that ignites into a love neither thought was possible. Simply so many over the top moments in this book but the most amazing is how Aiden's love brings new feelings to Alice's musical ability, yes love makes you feel the music in your soul and that is what Frankie brought out in this book.
Nothing else really needs to be said about this book. It was beautiful!
This book grabbed my attention and held it through the Epilogue. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading insta lust turning to love with a definite HEA.
Alice is a cello player, under pressure from her family to achieve in her musical career and to marry the man they've selected for her. On a cruise to Alaska with her family, a mishap on the docks sends her tumbling into the frigid ocean waters where she's rescued by a handsome fisherman who makes her feel things she's never known before.
Aiden is a modest living fisherman who also happens to be extremely wealthy. Disappointed in love, he hasn't given up yet. He's looking for a sweet, innocent woman who isn't interested in his money. When he pulls Alice from the cold Alaskan waters, he knows in his heart that she's the one.
Frankie Love insta-love romances are always well-written, charming, and sexy, sexy,sexy! His Make-Believe Bride is no exception. The characters have a lot of chemistry in this sweet and steamy love story. I loved it.

This was just beyond ridiculous. I have no problem with the insta-love if it would have been told better. There were so many things that had me rolling my eyes and shaking my head.
A virgin has sex with a stranger, the dialogue sucked, the hero is not legally done with his past relationship (this wouldn't have been bad had he been practicing full disclosure).
I don't know, I have read books by Frankie Love before and this one doesn't hold a candle to the others that I've read. I was really expecting more from this author.
Frankie Love has done it once again - Aiden and Alice are my new favorite couple. Who new that falling into the freezing Alaskan waters would allow you to find the man of your dreams. The chemistry between them was so hot it practically melted my kindle, and the storyline was one that made the reader laugh, cry and end with a huge smile. Awesome characters, fabulous story and hotter than hell sex scenes. I highly recommend this book.
I received this ARC copy of this book from the Author Frankie Love for an honest review. I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Aiden and Alice was hot and well written. I whole heartedly recommend this book. It was a insta love story with mountain man and a virgin.
I ❤️ mountain men books!!! Honestly Frankie Love is the best at it! Aiden is a sexy fisherman. Alice is shy but once they meet she start finding her voice. And starts to stand up for herself. This is absolute must read.
! Alice and Aiden are such a great couple with insta-chemistry. Their story is so so good I couldn't put this down! Aiden is a hunky fisherman and becomes Alice's white knight in more ways than one. Fantastic job Frankie!!
Frankie weaves a wonderful tale in this book about an Alaskan fisherman and a virgin cellist. Aiden is a millionaire fisherman who has been burned by a gold digger. Alice is a virgin cellist whose family has bullied her all her life. Just one rebellious outburst can lead to a happily ever after.
I don't know why but one of my pet peeves is knowing the H last name in a book and I don't think Aiden's was ever mentioned so that irked me. Aiden lives in the mountains of Alaska he is a true mountain man even though he and his family are very wealthy. He married Sheila thinking they were in love but it turns out she was only interested in his money and banging other guys. They've been separated for over two years and she's being a dick and refuses to sign the divorce papers because she's demanding a ridiculous amount of money. This part of the book pissed me off because if she cheated especially more than once I don't see how she'd be entitled to shit let alone millions of his money and they were only married for a very short time. Now he's very cautious of women and he spends most of his time on his boat with his dog, Chum fishing for days sometimes weeks at a time. Alice is 21 years old she graduated college a year early so she could focus on her musical career playing the cello. Lately though she's lost some of the love she once had for her music and the cello. Her father once played but he quit when her and her sister, Anna were born and now it's like he's trying to live through her. All she does is practice because she's trying to get a seat with the Seattle Symphony. She's on a cruise with her parents, sister and sister's fiancé and they're docked so she decides she's had enough practicing and that she's going fishing. When she gets to the dock the boat tour is already gone and as she's admiring the view a dog comes running towards her. She gets surprised and loses her footing falling into the freezing cold water. Aiden is shocked when he sees the woman Chum was racing to fall in the water so he jumps in to save her. Both of them are wet and freezing so he carries her onto his boat to get them both warmed up.
Aiden is an Alaskan fisherman, who is going through a nasty divorce from his gold-digging wife. Alice is a cellist, auditioning for a chair with Seattle Symphony. While on an Alaskan cruise with her overbearing family, Alice runs off for a day alone on a fishing charter. Except that she misses the charter then topples off the pier when a dog comes bounding towards her. Aiden rescues Alice from the freezing water after his dog scares her and she falls in. He takes her back to his boat to get her warmed up. Alice uses this opportunity to rebel against her rigid parents and spends the day being ‘warmed’ by Aiden. The pair feel a connection and promise to keep in touch. Alice needs a date to her sister’s wedding in spite of the entire family trying to pair her iff w a sleazebag. Of course she invites Aiden. Alice’s family and the sleaze bag do not approve of Aiden...because he’s a fisherman and can’t afford to give Alice ‘the life that she’s accustomed to’. Little do they know that he’s a millionaire fisherman. Will Alice allow her family to influence her feelings for Aiden? Will Aiden’s pending divorce have any bearing on A&A happiness? Maybe :) Quick sweet story with some ex & other boyfriend drama but we finally get an HEA! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
Aiden and Alice meet when his dog, Chum, knocks her off a pier into the cold Alaskan water. Aiden quickly jumps in and gets her back into the pier. He takes her to his fishing boat to help her dry and thaw out. He quickly realizes that she is someone special, shocking as he's sworn of of love for the time being after going through a bitter divorce. Alice is a classical cellist on a cruise with her family. She tries to get a break from all the family pressure being put upon her to get an orchestra position by going on a fishing excursion, but ends up in the water. She's grateful to the handsome bearded stranger who rescues her but is amazed by the shock she feel through her body when he takes her hand to help her. They end up having a one day stand and with Alice declaring herself to be Aiden's fiancé when they run into his nasty soon to be ex. It's pretend, but they both would like it to be more. A quick, fun read with very likable main characters.
Alice is a cellist who has also been overprotected by her parents her entire life and the one day she experiences freedom her life is changed forever. She misses her water taxi and is left stranded on the dock until an overeager dog thought she would like to have a swim with him.
Aiden, the dog’s owner, jumps in to rescue Alice when he sees what his dog has done and then he takes her back to his boat to dry off. As the day progresses it turns out that she isn’t the only one who can play an instrument except Aiden’s instrument turns out to be her body. When the day is over will this be a one time thing or the start of something more?
No one can write a mountain man like Frankie Love. It is filled with humor, instalove and smoking hot chemistry. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
