See My Review Below!!!
These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.
In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry.
He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no.
(I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days.)
He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.
Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.
Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.
I offered him a napkin.
Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*
However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.
And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée.
Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

My Review...
Can I just say that Ms. Dunbar has me fully engaged in the Sylver family? That she makes me want to move to Sterling Falls like right now?
This is the story of Judd and Genie.
Judd is the quiet Slyver. He is the epitome of the saying, “Still waters run deep.” He holds a lot of emotional baggage, and he deals with it using his fists.
Genie has carried what she thought was an unrequited crush on Judd. She is quirky and independent, but she is also carrying some emotional scars that she is dealing with.
From lined unicorn paper to “check yes or no” notes, this story is going to grab your heart and place it in a blender set on frappe. Then, Ms. Dunbar is going to put your heart together with swoons, heat, and a dose of laughs.
I always love visiting the Slyver family. I love the way the siblings have overcome their upbringing and created a new, stronger family unit.
This story has got to be one of my favorites of the Sterling Falls series (I have a soft spot for quiet heroes). It is another gem in Ms. Dunbar’s Over 40 romance queen tiara!
