Have you ever told a little white lie just to make someone's wish come true - especially if you knew you would never have to follow through? Emma did just that. Her grandfather was on his deathbed with mere days, if not hours, to live and the only thing he wanted to see before he died was for Emma to get married. Then he could die a happy man because he knew she would have a family that would carry on his bloodline. Poor Emma felt she was letting him down. Shoot, she wasn't even dating, let alone the prospect of a wedding before he passed - so Emma told a little white lie. She told her grandfather she was getting married to her boss.

This lie created a turn of events that put Emma in a terrible predicament. She now had to convince her boss they need to get married because her quickly recovering grandfather has planned their wedding - A wedding he has no idea about nor would ever agree to!

This story was such a fun read. Emma dug herself into a seemingly impossible hole to get out of, and every time she turned around, it just seemed to get worse. I hadn't a clue how she would convince the man who was sworn to bachelorhood that not only should they date, but they should get married in just a few days.

For me, this was one of those books you cuddle up with on a stormy day, with your favorite beverage in your favorite chair, and just get lost in the story. It went quickly, and I found it a lighthearted and enjoyable read. I was snickering more than once and had to laugh at the grandfather's enthusiasm.

One of my favorite quotes from this book:

"Gossip was nothing more than a verbally transmitted dis-ease, according to Gramps, that attacks thoughts, ruins lives, and cripples reputations."

There are sexual references and a sex scene, but it is not terribly descriptive. I would recommend this book for more of the older teen/adult audience.

I received an e-copy of this book to read and honestly review.… (más)
