The Doctor's Fake Fiance' on October 20, 2014 GoodreadsTheir marriage bargain is just what the doctor ordered…
Former surgeon and self-professed life-long bachelor Evan Manning has one thing on his mind—to reclaim the career that a car accident stole from him. But when he’s forced to return to his hometown of Red River, Evan comes face-to-face with the gorgeous woman who’s haunted his dreams for the last year—the woman he rescued from the burning car that injured his hand. Now Evan needs her help. In a month, he'll have the job opportunity of a lifetime...he just needs a wife to get it. Artist Grace Matheson is down on her luck again…until she walks into Evan Manning’s office. When her sexy former hero hears that she needs work, he offers her a job and a home—if she’ll pretend she's his fiancée. Grace knows she shouldn't fall for him. Once the month is up, Evan will be back to his old life. But the more time they spend together, the more real their feelings become—and the more likely heartbreak is.
I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
In August of last year, I stumbled upon the Red River series, in the midst of a weekend full of DNFs. (You can read about it HERE) The Red River series had me completely hooked and the only thing I really needed was Evan’s book. Cue to now, over a year later! I was pretty much salivating for Evan and Grace’s story and the bookend to this series.
I have to admit that I had a hard time liking Evan. He was so focused on his career and what he thought it meant to be successful that he placed value and priority on his job above all else.
And then, Grace and her son, Chris came into his life. Grace and Chris needed someone like Evan as much as Evan needed them. Grace was used to scraping by on almost nothing and Evan presented her with an opportunity to climb out of barely getting by.
Now, I know I said I wasn’t all that crazy about Evan. BUT, as he spends more time with Grace and Chris he sees how being part of a family (being needed) has its merits. Grace and Chris were certainly attracted to each other and that helped move things along. I appreciated the transformation that both characters went through.
Evan’s brothers and sisters in law helped things along and there were some really funny moments between the brothers. I loved that they gave Evan such a hard time. Evan has always held his brothers at arms length and they kept on trying with him. Gotta love Jake and Quinn! Overall, I enjoyed this one and I’m so glad we got closure for the series 🙂
