Elena Armas
Josie Moore has given the opposite sex - and love - plenty of chances. Four exactly, if you count all her failed engagements, and five if you include the absentee father who kept her existence a secret until very recently. So when her father decides to announce his retirement with a splashy magazine piece about the family, Josie realises her romantic history is a complicated PR issue. Matthew Flanagan is the mud, literally. Not only has he been fired from his job, but also the tires of his car are stuck in the muck after taking a wrong turn as he enters Green Oak, North Carolina. So, he grabs a duffel with his essentials and goes in search of a place to crash until he gets his life back on track. But instead, he finds his best friend's sister, Josie, greeting him as her fiancé. What starts as a big messy misunderstanding quickly turns into an arrangement with Matthew playing a new role as doting fiancé.

"Elena Armas hit lightning in a bottle with The Spanish Love Deception - I haven't been as thoroughly impressed with her books since.<br/><br/>This was a downer, for sure. The plot had no substance to it - it was Nicholas Sparks-esque at its' best. He falls hard and fast and there's really no push or pull to the story.<br/><br/>I keep hoping her stories will get better but thus far, it's been same 'ole, same 'ole."
"This book is not for me, so unfortunately it's a DNF.<br/><br/>The Fiance Dilemma by Elena Armas revolves around a fake engagement trope between a small-town mayor and her sister's best friend. Unfortunately, despite getting over 30% of the way through, I just don't feel invested in any of the characters or in how the story will turn out. The characters seem very one-dimensional, as if they exist solely for one purpose (to be the fake fiance, to be the stereotypical best friend, etc.).<br/><br/>The plot also requires quite a bit of suspense in belief. Understandably, rom-coms are meant to be a little unbelievable, but it's still very hard to believe why the fake engagement had to happen in the first place, and how the MC manages to continue it despite all reason.<br/><br/>With that being said, for those who are in search of a lighthearted low-commitment rom-com, this book could be for you.<br/><br/>Special thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for sharing this digital ARC with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.<br/><br/>The Fiance Dilemma will be available everywhere July 30, 2024."
