MY REVIEW
Charlie has escaped from her life as part of Afland’s royal family to pursue an independent career. She is now a successful music executive. She is sent to Las Vegas to persuade Joe Kavanagh and his band to sign for the label she works for. However things don’t quite go to plan when she wakes up next to Joe with a gold wedding band on her finger.
Neither of them can really work out why it happened. They do know that a large amount of alcohol and post gig party atmosphere was involved. As they both come to terms with what has happened, they agree to run with the situation for a while and use it as a PR opportunity both for her company and his band.  At some point in the future they agree they will need to end it. Both are aware that they have a strong physical attraction to one another. But committing to a lifetime together needs far more than that.
As the two begin to spend their first days as man and wife, little niggles of doubt begin to creep in about that fateful night in the wedding chapel. Charlie wonders whether Joe has manipulated the situation to gain exposure for his band while he wonders at first if she is pregnant and looking for an easy target to marry. Or whether, like the girl who broke his heart many years ago, she’s simply using him to get back at her family.
The story see saws between Charlie and Joe’s viewpoints. As they settle into their fake marriage both begin to realise there is something far deeper going on between them. But is it strong enough to override the other doubts and fears and bring them together?
An enjoyable and well written romantic read.
