Bogus Brides #1
Addie and The Laird
Single women weren't permitted to live in the charter town of McTavish Plain, in the Wyoming Territory. So the three Green sisters invented husbands! But Addie, Charlotte, and Mattie never reckoned on the loves that awaited them in the wild, wild west.
SHE TURNED HIS WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
Addie's sisters had their hearts set on living in the Wyoming Territory, she grudgingly went along with their plan and became a respectable "widow." But that wasn't good enough for Ian McTavish. Intent on safeguarding his town's moral code--and enjoying Addie's home cooking--the handsome Scot insisted she marry him, in name only, within the month or start packing. For her sisters' sakes, Addie agreed, and soon had her husband yearning to sample her kisses!

As an oldest daughter who absolutely has, many a time, had to go along with her younger sister's questionable plans, I sympathized with Addie so much in this story. Actually, I want to read the next two books just to see if her sisters apologize for constantly belittling and nagging her. They constantly blow off her feelings and then get upset when she calls them out for their poor behavior.
Ian is the Mr. Darcy ("she's so plain, I don't know what anyone sees in her, well now all I do is see what is amazing about her, hmph") to Addie's Elizabeth ("something about him is off. Definitely hates me. I'm onto him."). The book can be so funny, sweet, and swoon-worthy! The ending is a bit "well that escalated quickly" but you can't say you don't see it coming. I highly recommend reading it if you like historical romances that have humor and heart.
Also, there are otters in the book. OTTERS!

This book was just beautiful! After reading the lovely story of Addie and Ian I just have to read the rest of the Bogus Brides Series.
Addie and Ian are drawn to each other, though they can't figure out why. They challenge and infuriate each other, and then one stolen kiss changes everything! Of course Addie tries to deny her attraction to Ian, but Ian can barely keep his hands off of Addie. And their love story continues as they come to the realization that they have fallen madly and deeply in love with one another.
I could go on and on about this book, but I won't; I will let you read it for yourself.

First book I read by this author. Interesting story of three sisters creating fictional husbands in order to be admitted to live in town. Addie is the first sister whose story we read in this book. I liked it. It was funny to read that her plan backfired when she married him. She believed that he couldn't stand her when it was completely the opposite. Great romance. Looking forwards to reading the other two books.

This is the 1st book in a series (bogus brides). Addie wasn't that fascinating nor her laird. What kept me reading was Addie has two beautiful and spirited sisters. I read this book to get my foundation before plunging into the next two books. It's a tepid read at best.
