BLURB
Jade
Once upon a time Cain Bishop and I were inseparable. All through high school we were two peas in the proverbial pod, but then I did something he’ll never forgive. Now, he’s going to lose custody of his half-sister unless he comes up with a bride, STAT. I’ll do whatever he needs, even be his wife of convenience. I’m prepared for him to be indifferent or platonic, but nothing could have prepared me for the hungry way he looks at me.
Cain
There was a time, when I was young, that I would have done anything to make Jade Larson my wife. Even knowing she’s way too good for me; a curvaceous princess used to the finer things in life I’ll never be able to give her. When she went behind my back and did something I can’t ever forgive, I forced myself to walk away from her, but I never stopped wanting her. Now, I have to swallow my damn pride and marry her for the sake of keeping custody of my half-sister. How am I supposed to keep my hands off Jade once she’s my bride, when every instinct I have demands that I claim her, body and soul?
This was a fun, short read from Kat Baxter. She’s definitely one of my go to authors when I need a pickmeup!!
Cain was a grump who lost the love of his life through miscommunication and pride. He got so much wrong and I was kinda peeved at him for a bit regarding him feeling like he couldn’t trust Jade without even talking to her about the issue!
Jade was a sweetheart who loved those people important to her and showed them in the best way she felt she could. She was willing to jump in and help out Cain and Sasha, his little sister, without knowing what she was setting herself up for.
The reason behind their falling out was sad – I know personally how much of an impact what they were facing can have on your life….. I was glad Cain finally found out the truth about everything and got his act together – though maybe Jade should have made him work harder…… and maybe she would have had his Cain’s little sister’s welfare not been in the line!!

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
