From Best Friend To Fiancé: When Pretend Becomes Real

by Page Hunter

"You have no idea what you've done to me. I've been replaying every sound you made, every way you came apart for me." His grip tightened. "I'm not letting that go. I'm not letting you go. Fuck the friendship. I want you."

I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

"I don't just want to f**k you—I want to keep you. You're my favorite sin, and I'll commit it again and again until you understand you're mine." His lips twitched a little. "You've always been mine, Savannah."

******

Her sister is marrying her ex. So she brings her best friend as her fake fiancé. What could possibly go wrong?

Savannah Hart thought she was over Dean Archer—until her sister, Chloe announces she's marrying him. The same man Savannah never stopped loving. The man who left her heartbroken… and now belongs to her sister.

A weeklong wedding in New Hope. One mansion full of guests. And a very bitter maid of honor.

To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.

Until fake kisses start to feel real.

Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.

feel like it just ends... like the book isn't finished but it isn't a cliff hanger, just like it was published before it was finished in the middle of the story

When is the next book available 😭🥲🙂

I can’t wait to read the next book, I need to know if things will change between Savannah and Roman? Will Savannah get an apology for all the lies? Where is Chloe? Will Chloe try to get revenge? Will Chloe have a change of heart and apologize to not only Savannah but everyone for her behavior and stunts? Will Savannah’s father and mother get their karma? This book is too good, though I’m expecting the next book to be even better after this ended on a cliffhanger.

I’m invested now, but this was inconsistent

I’m already invested in the characters. The first book wasn’t great, but good enough to complete the story line. The characters are so inconsistent throughout this book. The story lines are all over, and the antagonists don’t make sense most of the time. I had higher hopes this would be better… some of these story lines have potential for a good read, but these characters give me whiplash in the most confusing and unlikable way.

Savannah and Roman really enjoyed the first 2 books but they didn’t end and there is still a third book to go.
Roman pretends to be her fiancée as her sister is marrying her ex. Her sister goes out of her way to hurt her.

Captivated Beautifully

I’m so enjoying this series, I’ve flown through book one and book two in a matter of days and can’t wait to get into book 3.. it’s an easy read with complex story lines that keep you interested and super invested.. love it!

Second book as good as the first

Second books don't always keep you engaged. I might have read this one quicker than the first. Some questions that are lingering, you get the answers too.

Such a cliffhanger

Can't wait to see what happens next.. love this storyline.
Roman is that BFF we all want.
Sav is like most us girls that can not believe this is real
