A Christmas Proposition by Jessica LemmonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I now have a new favorite author to binge read! This book was so sweet and I am such a sucker for "have to get married, fall in love later" romances.
In The Christmas Proposition, Stefanie has to get married in order to "save" her brothers re-election bid for Dallas mayor. Her recent public scandal could hurt her brothers chances at keeping his job and in order to help him she decided getting married (for just a little while) is her best bet. Who's the best man for this charade? His good friend and top employee, Emmett. Emmett thinks Stefanie's idea isn't the best but to help his good friend and keep Stefanie from marrying some other guy, he'll do it.
The romance begins almost right away and I was okay with it. Many times this romantic trope is to instalove and the characters aren't developed. In this story, each person is developed as the story goes along and you can see where they really could fall in love. Because they already knew each other, the idea wasn't that far fetched. The couple decides that they will have real sex in their fake (but real) marriage and while it isn't gratuitous, it is hot!
The ending was slightly rushed but I still enjoyed it and highly recommend it. I am certainly ready to pull books 1 and 2 and add Jessica Lemmon to my author list!
