Synopsis

Former Marine MacArthur Patton has made a small fortune on top-secret government contracts and black-ops missions, but his new assignment involves something more dangerous—marriage.

Well, fake marriage anyway.

To keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists, Mac has to secure a fiancée. A sweet, demure, compliant fiancée to serve as his arm candy for a few weeks while he completes the covert arms deal in Mexico. His sister claims to know just the woman, and sends her best friend to play the role.

“Sweet” and “demure” aren’t in Kelli Landers’s repertoire. A badass veterinarian who neuters big dogs and bigger men on a regular basis, she can’t wait to bring Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Detached to his knees. Her longtime crush on the commitment-phobe makes her plan to seduce him even sweeter.

Love wasn’t part of the plan, but the deeper Mac and Kelli fall into their ruse, the more danger they attract, until more than just their hearts are on the line…

Kelley’s Review

Fiancée  For Hire is fun, flirty, and full of sizzle.

Have you ever read a book and once you were finished decided to read it again?  That is what I did with Fiancée  For Hire.  I adored this book.  It was hysterically funny and yet the chemistry between Mac and Kelli was sizzling hot.  Of course I am going to love this book because the heroine is named Kelli even if Tawna spelled it wrong.  Ha!  I promise that you will be hooked by the end of chapter one.

Kelli is an amazingly talented Veterinarian.  Several papers published about her mad skills as a Vet.  When her best friend Sheri approaches her about acting as her brother Mac’s fiancee Kelli thinks she has lost her mind.  Sheri knows that Kelli has had a secret crush on Mac since they were kids.  The more she thinks about this crazy scheme of Sheri’s the more she considers going through with it.  There is a chance she could finally act on her crush and possibility build a spay and neuter clinic to deal with a very large and well know feral cat colony that resides in Todos Santos.

“So Mac is expecting sweet, calm, and pliable fiancée?

Sheri nodded. “And instead we send him you.”

Kelli gave her most angelic smile and sliced off the cat’s testicles.

“I’m in.”

Mac knows that he needs a fiancee if he is going to pull off the arms deal he has been working on.  Why?  Because Mac was a bit of a bad boy and might have messed around with Pedro Zapata’s wife.  The deal would probably go a lot smoother if Zapata believed that Mac no longer had feelings for his bride.  My favorite part of this book is the witty banter between the characters.  It kept me turning the pages to see what kind of bomb Kelli was going to drop on him next.

“What can you tell me about the mission?”

She said the word with air quotes, a detail Mac found both endearing and irritating.  “Have you heard the name Pedro Ubano Tujillo Zapata?” he asked carefully.

“No.  Though I appreciate the fact that his initials spell PUTZ.”

“You’ll want to refrain from pointing that out if you meet him.”

The chemistry between Mac and Kelli was off the charts hot.  Kelly is the mistress of seduction when she teases Mac while trying to pick out a cocktail dress for for dinner with Zapata.  When they finally give in to their urges albeit after she repairs a prolapsed penis on a lizard in Zapata’s bathroom, it is scorching hot.  Get ready for some new panties ladies.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any one that enjoys romantic comedy with a little sizzle.  Tawna Fenske delivers a great read once again!
