My Review:

Make-Believe Fiancé is the first book I have read by Vivi Holt. It is a good escapism read.

Gwen is down on her luck when she moves to Montana, but things go from bad to worse and she is one step from being homeless.

Billionaire Heath Montgomery has women clamoring for his attention simply for his wealth. When he and his friends go into a diner for breakfast, he is captivated by Gwen, his waitress. 

A few things in the story made no sense to me. Gwen is divorced, and her ex-husband gets just about everything, including alimony! They have no kids, and he keeps coming back to her for more money after everything has been settled. I didn't get it and it didn't make sense.

Regardless, Gwen and Heath develop a relationship that goes from strangers to business partners (of a sort) to more. The story is fleshed out pretty well and ends with the expected happily ever after.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Take one billionaire cowboy in need of a fiancée, add one divorced teacher with trust issues and mix in a fake engagement. What could possibly go wrong?

Gwen Alder is starting over — divorced and broke, she’s come to Billings, Montana for a new beginning. But waitressing in a roadside diner for the summer isn’t paying the bills, and she finds herself in over her head with no hope of catching up.

Heath Montgomery has it all — fame, fortune and a mega-watt smile, but one thing he doesn’t have is a date for his cousin’s wedding.

When the two of them cross paths, Heath has an idea — what if he paid her to be his date? No strings, no complications, just a simple business transaction — a way to finally win his father’s trust, and get his parents off his back about settling down once and for all.

She’s poor and plain. He’s wealthy and arrogant.

They didn’t want anything more than a simple arrangement. They never planned to fall in love. But sometimes cupid has a mind of his own.

* Make-Believe Fiancé is a clean and wholesome contemporary Christian romance, the first in a new series from bestselling author, Vivi Holt.
