About the Book
Book: Pretending to WedAuthor: Melissa Jagears
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: May 28, 2020
It’s a match made in heaven…as long as they don’t fall in love!
The ranch Nolan Key has spent decades
working for, even lost a leg for, is now his—or at least it should be.
But an absurd clause in his father’s will means he’s in danger of losing
the place to his lazy, undeserving cousin. Nolan finds himself
scrambling to save his home—by proposing marriage to the town laundress.
Corinne Stillwater’s hands have betrayed
her. Numb from hours of doing the same work over and over, her hands
will only heal, according to the town doctor, if she gives up the
laundry and marries. But she’s been stung repeatedly by love before, so
that is one remedy she can’t swallow.
When Nolan offers Corinne a marriage in
name only, how can she refuse? Such a partnership could give them the
security they seek, but what if the ranch isn’t as secure as they
believe, and their lives—and dreams—aren’t quite as compatible as they
thought?
Pretending to Wed is the second book in the Frontier Vows
Series by award-winning Christian romance author Melissa Jagears. If
you like marriage-of-convenience stories that deal with the nitty-gritty
of making a relationship work, you’ll love this authentic romance set
in a time gone by that tackles issues still relevant for today.

The Elusive Electrical Spark to Awaken Frankenstein’s MonsterThe plot of Pretending to Wed just wasn’t coming together for me. I had the romantic dilemma, but I didn’t love the characters. They were boring. And if I’m going to write a book, a.k.a. read it a bazillion times, I have to really want to read the book myself. I decided to take a break from the weeks of struggle and read. I was recommended a book because of the author’s great voice (I can’t recommend it because it’s not a clean novel), but I loved the fact that the heroine was a scientific illustrator. I wondered if I could give my heroine a scientific hobby and came up with inventing. That single character tidbit was the jolt that awakened Frankenstein’s Monster. She came alive! The research into what she could have patented at the time led my imagination to the egg hatching romance scene in the middle of the story and I was hooked! I couldn’t wait to read my book that didn’t yet exist.

My Review
The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover, and notice her left hand, so cute, and the color of her dress is vibrant!
What to do, two hurt individuals that have sworn off marriage, end up in a desperate situation that marriage and money can solve.
We get to see how this new life arrangement is about to work out, and then enter and entitled cousin, the one who may have had a chance to own the ranch.
Both Nolan, with his missing part of a leg, and Corinne with her hurting hands, have medical conditions, that would fell most people, but watch the perseverance here.
This is one sweet story to get lost in!
