Goodreads: Aspiring artist Misty Delaney is not about to let her parents’ beloved café go under. Not when she can just merge the company by entering a quick marriage of convenience with the rich son of their family’s rival. But her sisters aren’t having it. They all made a they each get one month to find true love. She can’t just fold. To make sure Misty gives finding love a chance, they post a “Marry Misty!” billboard outside town. Surely that’ll give her options?

Watching Misty field marriage proposals from strangers, that she clearly doesn’t want, is a big cup of nope for café manager Lucas Reyes. He and Misty have been friends for years, but it’s time to step up and make his romantic feelings for her known. And what better way to start than by sending her unwanted suitors packing with an announcement that she’s already in a relationship. With him.

Lucas’s little stunt buys an extremely grateful Misty one week to come up with a solution that saves the café and keeps her sisters happy. A week during which she and Lucas need to act like they’re in love. Except, between late-night stargazing, crashed mopeds, and dancing in the rain, their pretend romance feels almost perfect. But it’s one thing to start falling. It’s another entirely to turn one week into forever…

Ope’s Opinion: This is the second in the Majestic Maine series. I did read the first one a while ago. It certainly can stand alone, but it was better to see the first brides story before reading this one.

Misty is the focus of this story. The other two sisters are involved in most of the book as well. I found Misty a bit whiney and woe is me. I did like that she and Lucas talked things out – they didn’t run away from their difficulties. They had a mature relationship. I liked that this is a clean, closed door romance. I also enjoyed the fact that Lucas and Misty knew each other and were friends for some time before the romance of their relationship started.

There is one more book – Last Bride Standing. I will be reading it soon.
