The Honeymoon Trap Confessions

About this ebook

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Christina Hovland, comes a fake relationship, one-bed trope romantic comedy.

Lucy's national news ambitions are derailed when a dangerous fan forces her into hiding in small town Colorado. Her new role behind the scenes is supposed to keep her under the radar. It’s definitely not supposed to rekindle a teenage crush on William—a disgraced reality TV star returning to salvage his family's media empire.

Undercover as a consumer reporter, William’s spotted something that’s not quite right with Lucy. He doesn’t remember her from their time on the reality TV show. But he does know that she’s hiding something, and a hidden camera honeymoon exposé provides the perfect cover to investigate her secrets.

Security, however, is the last thing on their minds when seduction leads to a game of Confessions that threatens to expose them both. Can a relationship that started as a sham survive when the cameras stop rolling?

Ratings and reviews

The tension! The drama! The comedy! Over and above all those, this was so cute and sweet, even if Lucy and Will often made me question whether I wanted more to shake some sense into them or hug the stuffing out of them. They knew each other a long time ago, but both of them are very different people now from who they were back then. Lucy’s made some pretty significant physical changes, while Will’s worked hard to develop better mental and emotional resiliency.

I loved William and Lucy’s second chance healing romantic suspense tale. The story had a good blend of sweet moments, spice, laughs, supportive friends, messy families, painful pasts, secrets, a bit of danger, and all the love. The slow ratcheting up of the tension that accompanies the glimpses of the bad guy is an added dimension to the romance storyline. There is a lot of baggage unpacking and a lot of healing required to get to their HEA but it was an exciting and emotional but enjoyable.
