I only wanted to protect you...
Luke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. He's strong, sexy, broody. The last thing he's looking for is a woman to ruin his solitude. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realizes that she's the perfect decoy. A fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's deployed.
So what if kissing her sends his mind to wicked places? He can control himself. Can't he?
Harper was on her way to starting a new life... again. But something about Luke makes her want to settle down in this small town and make his house a home. When she's in his arms, she finally knows what it's like to feel safe. Protected.
One night of sharing a bed turns into something much, much more... and soon Luke can't keep his mind off Harper's wide gray eyes or his hands off her luscious curves. He never thought he'd feel this way about a woman again. But he knows that he can't tell her the truth about his dark past. And she can't reveal what she's running from.
At least this isn't a real relationship. It's only for a month. It's only pretend. Until it isn't...
When Harper finds herself in a strange town, stuck, because she ran out of gas, I don’t think she was anticipating all that happens after…
She ingratiates herself to the town by defending a woman whom she sees being attacked. From that moment on, the town of Benevolence makes her one of their own. That includes Luke Garrison.
Another fake dating book, this one involves a woman who knows her mind and a man who doesn’t want to want Harper. He pushes her away often, even when she offers him a no-strings relationship before they both know it will need to end.
And, of course, things don’t last long like that.
Harper was a very strong character who had no problems asking for what she wants. Luke was stuck in his past and didn’t know how to move on.
There was some drama, some suspense, and some sweetness. I devoured this book. Lucy Score is a genius.
About Lucy Score
Lucy is a Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon Kindle Store bestseller of romantic comedies and contemporary romance. She grew up in rural Pennsylvania with a lot of time on her hands and a big imagination. She was the oldest of three in a book-obsessed household. Dinners were often spent in silence while family members had their noses buried in books. A passion for writing took hold at five when she taught her brother to write his name on the bathroom door.
She started writing (on paper) in the second grade, first about pilgrims on the Mayflower and over the years graduated to essays, articles, blogs, and finally books. "Pretend You're Mine" was her runaway hit and she's been writing full-time ever since.
Non-romance-writing jobs have included event planner, bartender, newspaper lackey, and yoga instructor.
Lucy and Mr. Lucy, enjoy spending time with their 1.7 million nieces and nephews and laying on beaches with umbrella drinks.
