"Her Unexpected Engagement" by Kyra Jacobs is Stephanie Fitzpatrick and Miles Masterson's story. Stephanie and Miles were best friends growing up. Once Stephanie got engaged, married, and moved away they lost touch. Miles stayed in Michigan to help turn around his grandmother's inn. Now, that's things are going great at the inn he is seeking his dream job but he hasn't told his family. After a public divorce Stephanie is back in Michigan to interview for a job, visit her family, and just get away. Stephanie and Miles path's cross again. Let's just say it wasn't a warm meeting. When Stephanie finds out that the job she wants they think she is engaged. So, she goes to Miles for help because is the only one she trusts. Will Miles agree to this? I enjoyed this story. Miles and Stephanie are great for one another. Hopefully, they will get their act together so they can have their happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I was ready to check into the Inn by the end of this story!! Stephanie was humiliated when her husband cheated on her on television and went into hiding for a bit. Now ready to move forward, she's headed home to Michigan for a job interview. Little does she know that her younger sister has told her perspective employer that she's completely over her ex's indiscretions and engaged to another man to show how emotionally stable she is. There is only one person who could potentially fill the role and that is her childhood best friend, Miles. Miles is convinced that there is no such thing as happily ever after. He's feeling restless at the inn and waiting to hear about an amazing job offer that could fulfill all of his dreams. He's not expecting to see Stephanie again after distancing himself from her after she got married. He can agree to a brief, fake engagement to help his former best friend get back on her feet without getting caught up, right? I loved these two together. Their friendship allowed them to call each other out but also led to some miscommunication. This story was light on angst. It's a sweet, hopeful read that kept me smiling. I did not read book one in this series but will definitely be reading it soon! *This is my voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy*

Loved this! After Stephanie Fitzpatrick's marriage blows up in a very public spectacular fashion, she returns home to Michigan to hopefully restart her life with a new job. When a little fib blows up into something more Stephanie finds herself looking for a temporary fake fiance. Who better to help her out than her one time best friend Miles Masterson! Miles is just now at a point where he can leave the small town he's been trying to escape. When the all grown up and very sexy Stephanie shows up looking for help he just can't say no. Now after spending time with her he's not so sure escaping is what he wants! A fun read you don't want to miss. I recommend it.
