Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)
Synopsis from Goodreads:Christian:
Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be such a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade.
My parents turned their backs on me and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they lost. Only, it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.
So I’m going to fake it. Hire a guy with an online presence so impressive they’ll be desperate to welcome me back into the elitist fold, and roll into the wedding with the kind of confidence I’ve never felt a day in my life.
The plan’s a knockout.
Until my fake date cancels minutes before the ceremony.
Émile:
One letter from my dearly departed grandfather, and suddenly I’m on a husband hunt.
He’s reworked his entire will so I’m set to inherit far more than I'm entitled to, and all because he’s asked me to use that money for “good”.
In order to get that inheritance, though, there’s one stipulation: marriage.
Even with his request, I’m tempted to stick to my original plan of getting as far from my wretched family as possible, and letting them fight it out.
But then I run into a tall drink of scattered mess outside of a wedding who’s in desperate need of a date, and the pieces click into place.
I help him, he helps me.
Marriage, money, then go our separate ways.
Easy.
Now all I have to do is stop myself from actually falling for the guy.
So this thing happened today that made me sad. I dropped my daughter off at the airport so she could fly to Australia to visit her boyfriend. Australia. I'm handling it pretty well. I'm just SO damn emotional in general, so this just turns up the sadness on my life. Sads. That's me. At least until she comes back.
I've never read anything by this author before, but this sounds really cute, so I thought I'd give it a go.
What are you waiting on this week?
Wow. Australia! That's wild!

Thanks for stopping by Jessica! (Yes, Australia! She hasn't landed yet and I miss her already. LOL)
DeleteI just love a fake wedding trope! Nice choice. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI love fake weddings, too! Thanks for visiting my WoW today, Wendy!
DeleteMy first thought upon seeing that cover was, "Oh! Look at the sweet kitty!" A book with a cat on the cover will always get my attention. :-) The fake date/relationship trope is one of my favorites. I think I would like this one. I hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteI also hope your daughter has a good time in Australia. I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I'm still at that stage where my daughter's away one night and I really miss her. Sending hugs your way!
