Review: The Husband Hoax

The Husband Hoax by Saxon James and Teddy Hamilton, James Joseph
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Being invited to my cousin’s wedding really shouldn’t be such a big deal except, oh yeah, I haven't seen my family for a decade.
My parents turned their backs on me and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they lost. Only, it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.
So I’m going to fake it.

One letter from my dearly departed grandfather, and suddenly I’m on a husband hunt.
He’s reworked his entire will so I’m set to inherit far more than I'm entitled to, and all because he’s asked me to use that money for “good”.
In order to get that inheritance, though, there’s one stipulation: marriage.

The fake boyfriend trope is not easy. How do you convince the reader this is a probable situation? Some authors pull it off, others seduce their readers to allow some fantasy in an otherwise realistic story.

In this case I enjoyed the beginning but when they started discussing marriage there was so much unclear, glossed over, left open, ignored or waved away, I could not take it any longer.

Pity, because I really enjoyed the narration.
