Descripción editorial
Perry and Daisy's fake relationship is fooling everyone . . . but they're the ones who might be getting fooled.
When Daisy Hershberger and Perry Bontrager meet, they discover they have one thing in common: both their families are way too eager to see them matched with the person of their dreams. Daisy is convinced that Maynard is the one for her, but her parents have their doubts. And Perry? His family wonders if there's anyone out there for a quirky guy like him. He's also certain that some people--himself included--are destined to be single for life.
After comparing notes, Perry and Daisy agree to a pact. He'll help her make Maynard realize what he's missing, and she'll pretend to be Perry's love interest to keep his matchmaking mother satisfied. For a while, their pact seems to be working.
Maybe their imagined futures aren't exactly what fairy tales are made of, but they're committed to their plan . . . until they realize that a real-life fairy tale is happening where they least expect it. Sometimes, you don't have to pretend to be anything but yourself in order for love to find you.
The final book in the Amish of Marigold series is a heartwarming, cozy inspirational romance featuring a pretend relationship and plenty of small-town charm. A perfect read for fans of Beverly Lewis and Suzanne Woods Fisher.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fuller (The Proposal Plot) wraps up the Amish of Marigold series with a sweet fake-dating romance. Despite the unceasing efforts of Perry Bontrager's mother to find him a wife, he insists he's happy being single, working as a farrier and studying the butterflies he keeps in his house. But when he meets Daisy Hershberger, a bubbly 25-year-old in town to help plan her cousin's wedding, he can't deny the connection. Daisy, for her part, pines for Maynard, the unrequited crush from back home that her mother is trying to convince her to drop. Perry and Daisy decide to fake a relationship to make their mothers happy, and grow close while taking care of an older employee in Perry's shop with hip problems. Perry mistakenly believes Daisy's taken, however, and he still carries scars from an ex who rejected him because of his "obsessive" butterfly hobby. While such roadblocks feel somewhat contrived, the chemistry between the leads is palpable as they fight through their insecurities and miscommunications to find happiness together. This upbeat finale is sure to satisfy Fuller's fans.
