I received a free copy of this book and thought I'd give it a go. I've read one of the author's books before, but it was from a different series. This one was a fun, enjoyable read. When I read the premise, I thought it was a bit far-fetched, but when I read the story it was more believable than I thought it would be. The characters are well-written and the plot moved along at a decent pace.

The premise is that Megan, one of the main characters is flying home for her wedding, but she hs broken up with her fiancé. She is afraid to tell her domineering mother, because her parents have spent over $50,000 on the wedding. She gets herself in trouble on the plane, due to a drug/alcohol mix-up, and ends up getting carried of by the male stranger seated next to her on the plane. He gets mistaken by her family as being her fiancé and the story moves on from there.

I wondered where it would all end up and how it would get there. It almost ended in the way I predicted, but there were some interesting twists along the way. I enjoyed it enough to want to check out the other books in this series.

I was disappointed. The premise of the story was fun and I did enjoy the writing, but was not expecting explicit sex scenes in the book. I would skip through one to discover yet another. Not my cup of tea.
