The marriage is fake, but the passion is real.
Famous for his last name, devilish Anthony Star-Hunter is the black sheep of the Star clan. He’s an expert at using his tall, dark, and handsome charm to get women into bed—the last remnant of his declining hard-party escapades.But the bucks are about to stop here. His grandfather’s will demands he marry to inherit his fortune. Anthony panics. Even with his bad boy allure, how the hell is he going to find a tolerable bride, like, yesterday?
The minute Sarah Pennington spots the tattooed muscles her new stepsister’s ex hides under his Italian suits, she rolls her eyes. Anthony is not for her. And with her father maybe headed to prison for a financial fiasco, she’s had enough bad male behavior. She’s responsible. She’s hard-working. She…can’t stop having naughty dreams about the sexy “celebutant.”
At a beach-side wedding, a drunken mishap throws Sarah into Anthony’s bed, and he’s intrigued. Can he convince her to give fake marriage a chance? Can she convince herself to keep her heart out of the deal?
Their slow-burn, un-love affair isn’t what either expect, but it might be what both of them need forever.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
Not having read the previous books in the Lone Star Crossed Saga, I didn't know what to expect and was worried I'd feel lost. Luckily that wasn't the case though as this second chance romance stood strongly on its own to give readers a likable main couple who have more to themselves than they show the world. This is a slow burn romance that sees the two of them letting down their emotional walls in a fake relationship that becomes more and more real with each turn of the page.
Anthony comes from a family of money which has allowed him to enjoy his life to the fullest...with no thought for the future. Learning of the stipulations in his grandfather's will though forces him to take a good hard look at himself and the man he's become as he's going to have to find a wife if he wants to keep his money. So begins a sweet and sentimental journey of introspection that has readers seeing him in a whole new light. Sarah is just the woman Anthony needs, so her coming back into his life is fortuitous when it comes to his inheritance. Despite her better judgment she's always been attracted to Anthony. With her life revolving around work and keeping her father out of jail though, she's tried to steer clear of him and the temptation he represents. When he makes her a business offer she can't refuse, life takes an unexpected turn for the both of them in this slow-burn journey to HEA.
This is a true fairytale romance, one with not a lot of angst or true heartbreak. This is a story of second chances and becoming the person you were meant to be by grabbing on to what's most important. This is a heartwarming tale with a couple I was rooting for from start to finish. Though their story has been told many times I still found it a satisfying tale with secondary characters who have me wanting to read the previous installments in this series!
My rating for this is a B+
