About this ebook

A brand new, standalone spin-off from The Billionaire's Obsession series, and the first novella in the Left At The Altar series!!!  You met Lia and Zeke in Billionaire Unloved, Jett and Ruby's book.  Now you can find out what happened to them.  Did Lia really marry the wrong guy?  
Lia: 
I thought I had my life all worked out.  My wedding had been meticulously planned.  All I had to do was walk down the aisle and get married to the man I'd been engaged to for over a year.  
Pretty easy and uncomplicated, right?  
Unfortunately, all of my well laid plans go up in smoke when my fiance leaves me at the church alone because he found a woman who was better suited for his snobby world of wealth and privilege.   
Problem is, I really have to get married.  All of my hopes and dreams are dependent on me tying the knot by my twenty-eighth birthday, and the date is closing in fast.    
As usual, my best friend Zeke Conner is there to pick up the pieces when I get jilted by a jerk.  He helps me work through the demoralizing event so I can put it behind me and move on. But when he offers to marry me himself, I'm stunned. But it's a bargain I can't really refuse.  
As my relationship changes with my best friend, I find myself caught in a web of sensual desire and unending passion that's as terrifying as it is satisfying.  Probably because it seems all too real.    
But our arrangement was supposed to be temporary.  A deal between friends so that we'd both benefit.  What will happen when it all ends?  

Ratings and reviews

When you think about best friends you don't think about a guy and a girl, but in this case Lia and Zeke are trully best friends and they know each other that words are sometimes unnecessary. Since the first time Zeke saw Lia he has had an unexplicable attraction to her, a need to protect her and keep her from harm. That attraction has evolved into great passion and love. On Lia's 21st birthday she decides to let Zeke know how she feels, but a misundestaning will cause them to stay apart, looking for love in other people. Lia is not the defenseless girl he once saved, but the woman that is about to make the worse mistake of her life, marry the wrong man. When Zeke realizes that he can't witness Lia saying I do to anyone else, but him, he decides to stop this wedding only to find that the wedding has been canceled already. Fate is workig in his favor and without realizing it both are going to get what they always have wanted, more than they know. A bad thing can truly lead to something great and wonderful. Been left at the altar is the best thing that could ever happen to Lia. Temporary groom is a funny, romantic, passionate, page turner story that will leave you wanting more of Lia and Zeke.

5 stars Review by Elizabeth Late Night Reviewer Up All Night with Books Blog Wowzers! Show of hands, who loves best friends to romance? Steamy sexy times? Unconditional love? If you answered yes to any or all, read this book immediately!! Temporary Groom by USA Today Bestselling Author, J.S. Scott, is a hit! This is a short read at only ninety eight pages! You can knock it out in an hour! Lia and Zeke have been best friends for years. When it comes time for Lia to marry her fiancée, Zeke admits to himself he is in love with her. After finding Lia in tears he finds out her fiancée has left her at the altar for another woman! Zeke kindly steps up and marries Lia so she can get her inheritance from her grandmother, but will they have a Happy Ever After? The chemistry is astronomical! You can really tell Zeke is totally devoted to Lia and vice versa. The sex??? Wowzers!! I absolutely love everything about this book! Lia did admit her feelings for Zeke years ago but she thought he did not return her feelings. They play this cat and mouse game a tiny bit once they are married but Zeke just plows through until he gets the girl. This is my kind of book! I love the idea of a best friend stepping in to marry the other for any reason. Especially if they have secret feelings for each other. It just makes it that much better and the sexual tension you can cut with a knife. To me it builds their chemistry and when they actually admit their feelings, BOOM! Hot steamy sex! Read this book. You will not be disappointed. I only wish it were longer.

Zeke and Lia have been friends for what seems like forever. Both knew they loved each other but never expressed it until a sudden turn of events. Once again, J.S. Scott has written a detailed, riveting love story most of us who've ever been in the friend zone can relate to. Grab a cold, fruity drink, the sunglasses, and your beach chair, then start turning the pages. You won't be sorry. *I recieved a copy via an ARC on BookSprout for free in exchange for my honest review.
