About the author

Rochelle puts an artistic spin on everything she does but there are two things she fails at miserably:
1. Cooking (seriously, she can burn water)
2. Sewing (buttons immediately fall back off)

She loves baking and makes a mean BTS (Better than Sex) cake. When in observation mode she is quiet, however, her mouth is usually open with an encouraging glass-is-half-full pun or, quite possibly, her foot.

She is a Bearcat, a Buckeye, an interior decorator, and fluent in sarcasm.

Rochelle shares her home with a big black cat, an itty-bitty orange tiger kitty, her daughter, her son, and her Prince.

She loves to connect with readers. You can find her on Facebook (search for Author Rochelle Bradley), Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.

Playboy’s Pretend Fiancée

Hilarious! This fun lighthearted romance had me laughing and smiling the whole way through. I really enjoyed the story and characters.

Auntie Wanda is playing dirty to get Sawyer married

I can't believe Stephanie agreed to be Sawyer's fake fiance. But as time goes by she starts to really fall in love with him and starts to feel guilty about lying to Auntie Wanda. What will happen when she confess to Wanda? What does Sawyer do when he hears her confession?

“Second book of this author and like the first one it was really good. The story was super short but as someone that loves short insta-love books the length was perfect. Stephanie was lovely FMC, she was sweet, smart and easy going. Not the classic over the top almost obsessed with the guy kind of girl. Yeah, the attraction was there but felt more like friends to lovers. For a short story the plot was really slow and suddenly at 60% a race to the end started. It wasn’t bad but the whole ‘can’t pretend because I love you’ happened way to fast at least to me but anyway the story was good. No spice though.”

Two of the wonderful characters from the Fortuna, Texas series. We have seen both of them in prior books and each are special in their own way. The chemistry between them is wonderful even if somebody won't admit it. I was late in reviewing this book but as with every book in this series, they are worth a second, third and more reading. Great characters in this book and all the others, all have wonderful stories. They are all special and when reading this your going to see how special Sawyer and Stephanie are

A fantastic story of a scheming aunt trying to ensure her nephew falls for the girl of her choice. She does this by offering the girl accomodation at her farm and changing her will with the stipulation he marry to inherit everything. Throw in a treasure hunt and some little white lies and you have a fun read. Highly recommend this series.

Another great addition to the Fortuna series and 2 more characters you'll fall in love with. It's quite comical that Sawyer and Stephanie thought they could pull the wool over Wanda's eyes without the plan back firing in the best way possible. And little do they know Auntie Wanda still has a trick or two up her sleeve as well.

This was a great novella to add to the fortuna series. I love the characters in especially Gimme and this has him and his sister in it. Sawyer's aunt Wanda has the big C and she wants him to be happy so in her will he has to marry to get her home. Enter Stephanie they have met once before will she agree to be his pretend finance to give his aunt some peace.

Cute

I enjoyed Stephanie and Sawyers story. They had found each other years prior but with the help of his aunt they found each other again. It was a sweet and fast read that makes this series so much fun.

I will never tire reading about Fortuna's love matches, the play-on-word names, andctge nosy blue hair group! Sawyer and Stephanie have history, and Aunt Wanda and her friends exploit that. A very sweet story.

Fake fiancee

I love love love the town of Fortuna and the people in it. I can't get enough of their games and mystery. I really really really want to know what the key opens. I need more.

This is a very cute, quick read. I love the banter between Aunt Wanda and Sawyer. Stephanie and Sawyer are very cute "pretending."
