Groom for Rent

Well written, mostly light-hearted rom-com. The author has the ability to show a depth in the characters that fall in let's say The Good, the bad and the ugly characters. It left me rooting for and against several then appreciating what the others brought into the story. This story doesn't follow step by step into any genre. I will say it reminds me in idea only to a straight movie from a couple decades ago that had a sexy guy in it. This one ran its course and we got to see what became of several of them. Thank you, Vanalas.

When does pretence become real ?.This story attempts to answer that .We are introduced to our protagonists Zayn Monroe and River Flores who strike a bargain to pretend to be a couple for a family reunion. What follows is beautiful chaos as we they navigate family dynamics. one snark after another. The story is beautifully set up with good pacing, well written characters and witty dialogue. A highly recommended  good read piece !

A charming rom-com wrapped in @vanalas' signature soap-opera style!

Engaged by Zayn, River steps into the Monroe household to play the role of a pretend boyfriend - but what begins as a simple business arrangement quickly turns into a tangled web of emotions, secrets, and unexpected connections within the family.

Caught between love and hate, River leaves an unforgettable mark on everyone he meets. But the question remains - will he find true, lasting love… or, when the curtain falls, will the carriage turn back into a pumpkin and River wake up to reality?

A delightful, emotional, and witty story - definitely worth the read!
