Synopsis
Can a wedding-date deception
Become true love?
Tired of being seen as a lonely workaholic, advertising exec Jill Wickey promises to bring her “casual boyfriend” to her sister’s Valentine’s wedding. Too bad he doesn’t exist! Then Thom Miller, a carpenter working at her aunt’s Amish B&B, offers to be Jill’s fake boyfriend— if they turn the lie into truth. But dating Thom in idyllic Amish country makes Jill wish their temporary arrangement could last…
My Review
I love reading Amish fiction and was disappointed in how Jill's type-A worldly personality contrasted with the more humble characteristics I enjoy in the genre. "Amish Country" may be the setting, but the lifestyle played a small role in the story. She and Thom are definitely opposites-attract, and I wasn't feeling any chemistry between them. I usually find fake-dating schemes entertaining but sadly the elements of the plot could not keep me engaged in the book. I was missing the connection and emotion that pulls me in. While other reader friends had good reviews for this book, it wasn't my cup of tea and I gave up at 40%.
