Excerpt

She peeked a glance up at him, catching mostly only a broad shoulder because of his height. His long arms swung at his sides and his posture stern as he stared at the romantic beach scene in front of them.
They were about thirty feet from the other guests when Wes slipped his hand into hers.
She stiffened on contact and her brain shut down.
Low, so only she could hear, he said, "We have to sell it, remember?"
She nodded, not trusting herself to say anything while her heart did backhand springs in her rib cage. Holy crap. She was totally holding Wes Stevenson’s hand.
And she totally sounded like a teenybopper thinking that.
Be cool, Tee. Be cool.
It was going to be tough though since her version of cool had never been anything close to his. Or anyone else's for that matter.
Standing up straighter, she closed her hand around his, taking in the feel of skin against skin. The closer they got to the already filled area, the more erratic her heartbeat became. She was going to face Juliet, her family, and friends. And they were all going to chastise Teegan for bringing Wes.
Damn. She wished she'd thought about that before this moment. She could've feigned sickness for the entire weekend. What was going around right now? Yellow fever? Malaria? She'd even take a good case of salmonella. Anything to get her out of seeing the judgment in everyone's eyes. The same judgment she saw at every other Delta Gam wedding she'd attended.
With a date, without a date...it didn't matter. It followed Teegan anyway.
The man in question didn't seem bothered by their impending fate. He stood tall and wore a confident smile. Zero nerves radiated off him.
The Ice Box, they'd called him on the football field. Because he was always cool under pressure. Man, what she wouldn't give to have some of that superpower right now.
He squeezed her hand, which made her look up at him. He lifted his chin, gesturing in front of them. She looked toward a receiving line that included the bride and groom.
Juliet and the man she'd left Wes for.
Excellent. Teegan couldn't wait to greet them both on this glorious, fantastic evening.
Why, oh why, had she agreed to this? It would’ve been better not to attend at all, rather than bring Juliet’s ex to Juliet’s wedding.
Oh, God. Her heart was beating at an unhealthy rate. She might faint.
Hey, that wasn’t a bad idea. If she fainted—
The hand attached to hers tightened.
Wes. She was doing this for Wes. Just think about that. This had to be a million times worse for him.




It is tough being the last of your circle of friends to find your happily-ever-after. After attending SIX weddings without a date, Teegen was considering hiring someone to go with her. This was a destination wedding, everyone staying at the same hotel for DAYS and being coupled up.

The bride-to-be happened to be the ex-live-in-girlfriend of Teegen's best friend's brother. She dumped him when an injury abruptly ended his football career. Nothing like kicking him when he was down. Wes wanted her to pay and wanted his revenge to include public humiliation.

The plan - Wes would be Teegen's date to the wedding, pretending they are the world's happiest and most in love couple. The only one who saw a problem with this is Misty, his sister and Teegen's best friend. We all know no good plan ever goes without flaws and need to be adjusted. Add in human emotions and there are no guarantees.

The characters are fun, even those I wanted to slap. I wish Ms. Etta, the bride's grandmother, would have had a larger role. I know I was going to like her.

Overall, this was a fun and flirty read. The deeper Wes and Teegen get into the plan, the hotter their emotions are running. At first it was just her mouth that kept running away from the plan, but soon it became a whole body problem. 
While the fake date concept is not original, it was done really well.
