Their engagement is pretend
Cupid has other plans…

Wedding planner Mariah Van Delton has a plan to save the charming small town of Carter’s Crossing—by turning it into a romance destination! All Mariah needs is a very public Valentine’s Day proposal. And her only option? A fake one between her and the handsome town veterinarian and wedding hater, Nelson Carter. But a little charade between adversaries might just be the start of something undeniably real…

**My thoughts**

This book uses the Valentine's Day holiday to mash together a couple of classic romance tropes that make for an enjoyable romantic read. You have your hate-at-first-sight with Nelson not trusting Mariah coming to town to help turn Carter's Crossing into a romantic destination town. Mariah isn't a big fan of his, either, from the get go, because she is fiercely independent. Both of them are carrying a lot of baggage from the past that is preventing them from opening themselves up for love.

And then you have the fake romance part. Just when Mariah thinks she has her whole publicity stunt figured out, she finds herself needing a new romantic proposal to fulfill her promise, and the two of them decide to play the roles.

We all know how these stories are going to turn out, but they're fun to read. I admit I had a hard time coming around to Nathan, because he is such a hard and angry person. But I did eventually soften toward him. And never underestimate the power of those majestic horses! Animals are very smart. You'll see what I mean.

It's a cute start to a new series that I will look forward to revisiting. After all, more love is sure to come in this new romantic setting.
