Brittany never got a chance to tell Dan about the baby. Now it was too late, and with no one to turn to, she faced a desperate future. Until Michael Sinclair offered a solution. As Dan's best friend, he told himself that helping Brittany was temporary, just until she was on her feet again. But neither of them had expected their passion. Nor could they have anticipated the twist of fate that would put it all to the ultimate test.

I absolutely LOVE marriage of convenience stories. As a result, I've read tons of them, and some are good, and some stink. This one was very well done. I liked how the Brittany was a strong woman, instead of the weak, clinging women you often find in romance. I also liked how the author had their love slowly grow, and that they didn't immediately hop into bed together just because they were married.
Though I could see the plot twist at the end coming from a mile away, it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. The only complaint I had about this book was that it was too short. I would have enjoyed for it to be about a third longer. Not that the story felt at all rushed, but I would have wanted some more time with the characters because I loved them all so much.
This is a very quick read and lots of fun. The father of the unborn baby is presumed dead and best friend Michael’s steps in and marries Brittany. What starts as a marriage of convenience ends in one of love
The hero was irritating. He rushes in to save the day but he remained to closed off emmtionally for my taste. In the sequel, he still remain emmotionally disgusting. The premise of the story, and the heroines good nature made the book good. His communications skills sucked.
