The engagement is phony, but the diamonds are real....

Devastatingly handsome Jack Payton, the black sheep of his well-bred family, isn't exactly marriage material, but for a fake fiancé, he'll do just fine. Not that Eleanor Coggins has a choice. If she's going to prove that Jack's wealthy half brother Banner Westfield murdered her best friend, she needs total access to the family estate.

Once Jack and Eleanor blow Banner's cover, they can go their separate ways...or so she thinks. In order to win custody of his twelve-year-old daughter, Jack seriously needs to improve his reputation. An engagement should do the trick, but with Eleanor's vivacious wit and irresistible curves, it's the pretend part that's getting harder....

With a little help from an ex-con turned home security expert, a police chief with a scandalous secret, and an unexpected visitor, they must expose Banner's dangerous tricks before they become his victims. But can Jack convince Eleanor to turn their own seductive little lie into the truth?

I enjoyed this book!

I wasn't sure what to expect but from pretty much the first chapter I was pulled into this story. The quirkiness of Ellie, the charm of Jack, the whole murder thing...I was hooked.

The characters grew on me as did the whole storyline.

Not something I would have normally picked up just from the cover, but something I did.

4.5 stars.
Ellie quiere esclarecer la muerte de su mejor amiga. Jack necesita estabilizar su vida para conseguir la custodia de su hija, juntos pueden conseguir las dos cosas, así que…se prometen.
Y vaya el juego que da el “compromiso de conveniencia”.
El libro es muy entretenido, los personajes están muy trabajados y te gustan desde el primer momento. Los secundarios le dan muchísima vida a la historia y el suspense está conseguido, con giros que se ven venir, y otros que no tanto y la trama se va desarrollando a lo largo de todo el libro, con lo cual siempre está pasando algo.
Los buenos intentan hacerlo bien…pero no siempre lo consiguen…los malos…lo mismo…nada de líos y drama sin sentido.
Una historia bien escrita, con sentido y muy entretenida. Recomendable.


STORY BRIEF:
Banner marries Janet, and she disappears two months later. Three months after that, Janet's best friend Ellie sneaks into Banner's home to search for evidence against him. Ellie believes Banner killed Janet and wants to put him away. Jack is Banner's half-brother and the black sheep of the family. Jack and Ellie meet and then pretend to be engaged. Ellie does it so she has access to Banner's home to search for evidence. Jack does it so he can appear more responsible in his efforts to win custody of his twelve-year-old daughter Libby.

REVIEWER'S OPINION:
The plot and the events moving it along were excellent and well done. The conflicts were good. The romance was good. I was chuckling many times and laughing out loud several times. The conversations were witty and smart. I usually don't like a hero and heroine lying to each other as a way to have conflict. In this story they lie to other people (not to each other) which makes things interesting. There are a variety of complicated and engaging characters. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the lack of a strong emotional feeling at the end. But not all books need to have that. This book was good entertainment, so I rounded up to 5 stars for Amazon.

There was an unexpected yet wonderful seduction scene. While Jack is driving Ellie to his home, he describes in detail the script for their coming bedroom scene. It was different and sensually moving.

I have one recommendation. An epilogue would have been nice to learn more details about evidence, convictions and jail terms for the bad guys. The story ends with some of this, but I would have liked more.

OTHER BOOKS:
I've read one other book by Starr Ambrose. My 3.5 star review of "Our Little Secret" Copyright 2009 was posted 11-26-09. Her third book "Thieves Like Us" should be out Fall 2010.

Story length: 371 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: 4. Total number of sex scene pages: 18. Setting: current day Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Copyright: 2008. Genre: contemporary romance with suspense.

Just a fun, charming read... great characters, laugh out loud dialog and enough heat to keep things interesting. I'm looking forward to Starr Ambrose's next book, and only hope that Amazon makes it available for Kindle at launch!
