Forty Day Fiancé by Erin McCarthy

Spoiler Free 

Forty Day Fiancé is part of individual tales linked through the friendship these women have. We met them in Weekend Wife and one of the important themes was the inability of these gals to pick out good guys.

Yes, they had issues with the men they dated and were jerk-guy magnates. So Felicia, looking out for Samantha, pretends to be her when the guys were responding to her online profile. She was only looking out for her friend...and didn't plan on taking a liking to one of them to the point of having serious, flirty, fun emails that were coming from the real her, not Samantha.

So Felica kind of pulled a 2020 Cyrano de Bergerac, now called Catfishing. The good news was Michael and Samantha did not click at all when they finally went out on a date. Kinda predictable because A- emails and all of the connections weren't from Samantha...DUH.. and B- She really was already in love with another.

So no harm/no foul...and Samantha referred her friend Felica to assist Michael to divest all of the high-end clothing etc. of his late wife. Michael had been married and it had been ten years now since his wife had passed from breast cancer. It was time to donate the proceeds of all the amazing things she had accrued.

And it was natural for Samantha to suggest Felicia as that was her business. She had been a model, traveled the world and came from wealth long ago. She had none now and she needed to make her own way. She used her expertise and created this company that resold designer slightly loved items online.

Now Felicia is going to meet Michael in person...The One she kind of has a crush on. The One she shared feeling and insights she never shared not even with her girls. She goes to see him and right away she is conflicted. She doesn't want to seem like a stalker...but she also likes him and thinks he deserves the truth.

Truth is told and surprise, the results are not bad, not bad at all. In fact, both of them are clicking and there is a real attraction. Michael asks Felicia out on a real date!

Now between the date and them getting together, Felicia discovers she made a MASSIVE mistake, like life-changing. It now has her trying to figure out how to be able to stay in the States. The only way is for her to become someone's fiancé.

Michael has been wanting to have a family, it was time to see where his life was taking him. He was already established as a successful doctor, came from a very comfortable family so the only real-life goal was to have a family, even if he had to do it on his own.

These two end up making a pact but there are conditions and it will last the forty days Felicia has to figure out her visa status.

This started out very cute, smokin' sexy, and fun. It continued on that route with a couple of hiccups. The hiccups were part of the history both had... but our fella knew right away he wanted all of it to be real. He was smitten from the start. Felicia had an ugly history in romance so she wanted to see if all this chemistry was real or just lust. Both needed to communicate the feels...When they finally did, all was back on track and we were happy and satisfied.

I think this is a fun little connecting series by Ms. McCarthy. The next one coming will more than likely be Michael's brother with Felicia's friend Isla. My Guess is Enemies to Lovers, YUM.
