Ratings and reviews

Her Surprise Engagement is the story of Nichole, Chase and Nichole's app. The main characters have know each other since high school when Nichole tutored Chase. The two are opposites in many ways. Nichole is a stay at home coding nerd and Chase is a star football player. They have good chemistry in this fake marriage. The lie spirals out of control quickly. I could not read this book fast enough. It was the old "one more page, one more chapter" until I reached the end. I really enjoyed this clean, heartwarming romance and its sparkling characters.

This stand alone book in the City by the Bay series, is a touching clean romance . Nicole Moore and Chase Jacobs have known each other since HS. He was the football star and she the brainy valedictorian. She was also his tutor and the one that kept his secrets. Nowadays, Nicole is a single mom trying to get investors for her apps and Chase is a football star going through some tough times. She asks Chase to help her during her deal and in a desperate move a fake marriage ensues. Both Nicole and Chase have been hurt by love. Neither feeling that they are worthy of it. While he’s seemingly easygoing, she’s a by the book gal. But feelings start to develop and the make believe starts to seem real. Will they take a chance at love and family, or will fears and the past keep them from taking a leap of faith? This was at times heartbreaking ,but also heartwarming. It was also a reminder that the experiences of our childhood and the past, will indeed affect our adulthood and our beliefs. Another wonderful story by this author. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own
