About this ebook

She needs a fiancé—for only one night.

Cassandra Daniels’ parents refuse to accept that she doesn’t need a boyfriend to be happy. To stop their meddling and matchmaking, Cassandra creates a fictional fiancé, a man who sounds so unlike their carefree and unconventional daughter that her mom and dad want to meet him for dinner, immediately.
No problem. San Francisco is a big city. Finding a fiancé won’t be that hard.

All Troy McKnight wants is a beer after a long day at work. But when a pretty blonde asks him to dinner and wants him to pretend to be her fiancé, Troy agrees to help. Playing make-believe could be fun, especially since he gets a free meal, and he’ll have a great story to tell.

When one lie leads to another, however, the fake engagement spirals into real wedding plans. Cassandra and Troy must stop the madness and put an end to their charade. But what if her fiancé for the night is the perfect husband for life?

Ratings and reviews

Sweet, With a Hint of Heat > > Judging a Book by it's Cover < < Sweet young couple in endearing pose. Synopsis sounds enjoyable. > > Looking Deeper < < POV ~> Third Person Troy is an up & coming talent in the corporate world, so far removed from the farm life he grew up with. He has a life plan and intends to have those goals met within the next 10 years. Cassie has been there, done that. She bears the emotional scars to prove it and will do anything to avoid being part of that world again. But an impromptu plan gets out of control and neither Troy nor Cassie seem able to stop it. Before too long, they'll be raising some kids and paying on a mortgage that neither knew they had. FIANCE' FOR THE NIGHT is a sweet romance about a desperate proposition and the series of inconvenient events that take over their lives as they try to get to know each other enough to even pass off as a dating couple, let alone an engaged one. The characters were endearing and charming. There was a little more heat in this one than previous books I've read by the author, but still no nakedness or sex. It was all still quite PG, edging towards PG-13. I never had the opportunity to read the original version of this story, but can say that I enjoyed the plot. The story flowed smoothly and had enough energy to keep the pages turning. The characters and their interactions felt believable and natural. The conflict was understandable and relatable. There was very little predictability. While the conclusion provides a solid HEA for the couple, the ending, in general, felt a little rushed and left me with a few questions about what happened next, ie: Vanessa went to make excuses, but did they stay on anyway? Does she ever adopt a cat? Does he implement the remodel ideas? None are crucial to the story, but it would have been nice to know. .

It was supposed to be for one night, Cassandra randomly chose Troy to be her fake fiance because he looked the part. He was intrigued enough to say yes. But things started spiraling out of control the more time they spent together. She soon realized that though attracted to him, he worked in a world she had escaped from--her father's line of business--and everything it represented. As a free spirit, she didn't fit the profile of most women he dated. But time and circumstances have a way of making people forget about what they think they want and instead help them find what they need: love, honesty, trust. The more they try to disentangle, the more their hearts are involved. Can it be a love for a lifetime? They must overcome their differences and find a way back to each other. A lovely romance!
