Firefighter's Fake Fiancée by Clara Pines

 





Synopsis:


His ring isn’t the only thing wrapped around her finger…

Ashton Beck has been in love with his best friend’s little sister forever, but Lucy was always off limits. Now they’re both grown up, and he’s finally back home in small town Trinity Falls, working his dream job as a firefighter. When he hears that her engagement was broken off, Ashton knows the time to declare his feelings has finally come.

But a tragic accident leaves Ashton suddenly caring for a toddler before he has a chance.

Becoming Kaylee’s dad is the best thing that has ever happened to Ashton. But changing diapers, preparing tiny meals, and trying to convince Kaylee’s social worker that he’s truly worthy of adopting the little one all keep him too busy to offer Lucy the fairytale romance he knows she deserves.

When a chance encounter around the holidays has him claiming to be her new fiancé, the wrong people hear about it, and the two decide they have no choice but to keep the ruse going. But as their fake engagement becomes entangled with real feelings, even those who are in on the secret realize something more is happening.

Will the two open their eyes to the Christmas miracle that is right in front of them? Or will Lucy and Ashton be the last to know that the only people they are fooling with this fake engagement are themselves?


Review:





Firefighter's Fake Fiancée is a sweet story, it follows Ashton and Lucy's journey from friends to lovers. 

Ashton is in love with Lucy for a long time, it seems it's never the right time for him to declare. When Lucy break off her latest relationship, he knows that he has to act and to ask her out, but at that moment fate strikes again and his life becomes complicated. Lucy has crushed on Ashton since she was a teen, but he was her brothers' friend, so she kept it a secret. Now that she's a grown and indipendent woman, they are friends and in order to help him she offers him to share her house with him and his cute little girl. What could go wrong while living together? Will they keep their affection for each other a secret?

I adored how much Ashton and Lucy love each other and Kaylee. They are mature, thoughtful and kind. Their fear of ruining their relationship is relatable, if you also add an infant everyone would have been cautious in their place.

Clara Pines' writing is unpretentious and the pace is easy to follow. She crafted this beautiful and lively community that makes you want to visit.
