Publisher Description
Luke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. Strong, sweet, and sexy, he doesn't have a girlfriend and doesn't want one. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realizes that she's the perfect decoy. A fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's out on another mission.
So what if a single bite of her lip sends his mind to wicked places? He can control himself. Can't he?
Harper was on her way to starting a new life...again. But something about Luke makes her want to settle down in this small town and make Luke's house a home. When his arms wrap around her like steel, she finally knows what it's like to feel safe. Protected.
One night of sleeping in the same bed turns into something much, much more, and soon Luke can't keep his mind off Harper's wide gray eyes, or his hands off of her luscious curves. He never thought he'd feel this way about a woman again. But he knows that he can't tell her the truth about his dark past, and she can't reveal to him what she's running from.
Anyway, this isn't a real relationship. It's only for a month. Only pretend. Until it isn't....
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed!
I loved Harper as a heroine. She was fun, took risks, and kept things real. I like how she called Luke out on things. Luke was harder to love. His resistance to moving on from previous tragedy had him not treating Harper the way she deserved. Especially after everything she has been through. I loved all the side characters, the small town setting, the dogs she fostered and pretty much everything else in the story. I'm looking forward to reading Also and Gloria's book next.
Bizarrely annoying
*Contains possible spoilers.
I say bizarrely annoying because I usually enjoy Lucy Score’s books, even if I don’t agree with everything written. This was a tough one for me filled with so many annoying things. A woman who can’t get it together, needs rescuing, bends over backwards for the man she supposedly loves despite being told repeatedly that he doesn’t love her, and on and on. I then you have him and his refusal until the end to accept reality and get over himself. I mean, right up to the very end, even when EVERYONE has told him he’s being stupid…and then the thing that convinces him is a “sign”? I can’t even with that. And the fact that she just takes him back, no need for a real apology or working on the relationship…idk, the whole thing upset me. Falling into so many 1950s-esque tropes was not fun.
Wanted to like it
I like the story but the sex scenes were just too descriptive and long. Left nothing to the imagination. Very uncomfortable and I fast forwarded through them. I'd rather see this as a movie.
