Let’s Pretend
Viscount Ashford doesn’t want to marry just yet, but his mother and sister don’t seem to agree. Once before Mary Trenton helped him escape dancing with a room full of debutantes, so her approaches her again for help, this time for a pretend courtship to stave off the debutantes and to pacify his mother for the season. Mary sees this as a chance to experience what a courtship would be like and to escape her horrible sister for a time. Will it work? What if along the way, the two of them developed real feelings for each other? This is a cute, light-hearted friends-to-lovers romance with wonderfully engaging characters, one rather surly villain, and a happy ending.
I received an ARC of this book via BookSprout and am voluntarily reviewing it.
A pleasure to read
Mary and her old friend Viscount Ashford enter into a fake courtship. What happens when their romantic feelings grow all too real?
Both Mary and Ashford are likable and kind, which made this book a pleasure to read. Mary’s sister is an atypical villain, giving this book a fresh feeling.
Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
