Honeymoon Phase: A Marriage-of-Convenience Romantic Comedy for Fans of Witty Banter and Friends-to-Lovers Tropes (Mountain Men Matchmaker, 3)

Fact or fiction: proposing to your best friend so she can inherit her family business is a great idea.

When Addison "Roe" Monroe tells me she's going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father's lumberyard, desperate times call for desperate measures.

She's sworn off romance. Says she's been through enough tragedy. So I offer myself as an alternative, 'cause that's what best friends are for.

But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refuses to accept my help, and now I find myself training to become a lumberjack.

I refuse to let Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer. She means too much to me.

And I swear there are moments where she looks at me like I mean something more to her, too.

On the surface, I'm offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is...I'm hopelessly in love with my best friend.

So if I have to marry her and move her up to Fletcher Mountain just to see if she could love me back, so be it.

Because my only regret would be losing her forever, and that's a fact.

As always, I was hooked by the small town romance! I went into this one blind cause it popped up as recommended on Hoopla and of course did not realize this was the third in a series until I was almost done with it so I was missing some of the family context but it is a standalone so overall it didn’t prevent my interest in Addison & Luke’s story. I thought the premise was cute and I thoroughly enjoyed their dynamic. I loved the mountain man thing Fletcher brothers have going on and Addison is such a badass, I loved everything about her even if she was a fool for not realizing the perfection of Luke Fletcher sooner! And even though I started at the end, you can guarantee I read the rest of this series immediately!
