- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008I liked this book. I actually don't read a lot of the sweeter romances. Not because I don't like them but because I usually have my nose stuck in an urban fantasy or paranormal. I got this book at a conference. It is really very good.
Joe Riley is a character with emotional depth. He truly falls for Lisa and her kids as a package deal. The mistakes he makes are very realistic as are the way he learns from his mistakes.
Lisa seemed almost too good to be true. I would have liked to have seen her be a bit more than a nice church-going Kansas girl. Still, she had backbone and her kids came first always.
The story itself is absolutely typical HQ fare. It's a sweet romance that closes on the bedroom door. There is sensuality but it is very delicate. Kelly has a deft hand there that I really liked.
The secondary characters are well written. I'm hoping I know who Ginger ends up with in her book. I know I'll keep my eye out for Megan Kelly's next book as well as buy her first one. She's a competent author who knows how to tell an emotionally fulfilling story.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2014I have children, and I've been married, and I raised my kids along with my husband, but if I didn't have that option, I pray to find a man that loved my kids like the hero in this story;)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2012I thought this was quite a pleasant light hearted read. It was easy to get into. I enjoyed the characters. While I realise the story is Harlequin "American" Romance, that aspect was difficult to see on the thumbnail copy. Some of the acronyms used in this story relate only to the U.S. Customers from elsewhere may not know what they stand for.
Still the story was generally enjoyable. However, I do believe that Joe did more to win over the children in the story than the heroine; and I thought the ending was a bit of an anticlimax.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016Megan Kelly has become a favorite author!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2008Megan Kelly wins this reader over with her second book. What I found the most enduring about The Fake Fiancée were Lisa's children. I was drawn into the story because of Bobby and Abby. They reflect what it's like to live in today's society and Kelly's wit only enhances the characters. The way Joe engages with Lisa's children is enough to make any woman melt. Lisa is a lucky girl to win this hero's heart. If you are looking for a romance that makes your heart ache as well as enough humor to keep you laughing, then don't miss this book.
