Story
Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

As if juggling surgery and being an instructor isn't enough, she's recently taken on a more demanding administrative role at the medical school that was named after her legendary father. To make things worse, she's now required to attend a growing number of galas, fundraisers, and conventions. Wouldn't having a wife - a wife of convenience - help ease the burden that's threatening to overtake her world?

Park ranger Kyler Clemons had loved the vibe and the beach of Mustang Island. Getting caught with her boss’ wife, however, got her transferred to the wild and remote Davis Mountains State Park - in the middle of nowhere. Now after four years, she’s forgotten about the beach and has embraced the mountain life, feeling like a local. She hangs out at the Cottonwood Creek Bar and Grill. She watches football with Mark Walton. She’s taken up birdwatching and stargazing. She is perfectly content. No stress. No drama. And no desire to date. Then Lexie Walton waltzes into her life.

Story
As a renowned chef, Gabriella Russo knows how to season a good dish. It’s her personal life that’s been too spicy for her liking. Ready to take a break from the rollercoaster of romance, Gabriella’s moved to Oregon to open Tangled, a restaurant on the grounds of Tangle Valley Vineyard. A good glass of wine and space to create is all she requires.
Publisher's Summary
When travelwisdom.com assigns PR specialist Caroline Beckett and travel blogger Emma Morgan to cover a hot new couples retreat, they’re forced to fake a relationship to secure a reservation. Ten days in paradise would be a dream assignment, if only they’d stop arguing long enough to enjoy it.
Reputations are Caroline’s business. Too bad she was forced out of her previous job when an ex smeared hers all over the office grapevine. She’s never getting involved with a coworker again, especially not one as careless and unprofessional as Emma.
Emma knows that life is too short to play by the rules. But when she goes too far and a defamation lawsuit puts her job in jeopardy, she has to make nice with Caroline, the image police, and deliver the best story of her career.
Only pretending to be in love sure feels a whole lot like falling in love. When their story goes public, ambition and privacy collide, and their chance at making a fake relationship real might just be collateral damage.

My first book by this author..
Keira Grace was the lure for me, but it really was a great story of finding love when you least expect. It was one I wanted to get through quickly to see how it ended. Worth a listen

Soooo Good!!
I really enjoyed it. I read the other reviews and yes Caroline is infuriating and I loudly exclaimed, "Come on!" a few times, at work, getting a few strange looks from my coworkers, but that's what's so great. I want the stories and characters to invoke emotion! This was my first book by this author and I was not disappointed, which was a good thing since I used my monthly credit to purchase it.😁. also bravo for the narration. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👊

Really!
Really! A woman like Emma with a woman like that. First of I didn't like Caroline. I don't like this I don't like that. I'm scared of that.
She sounds like Monk. Don't know Monk? then look him up. She seemed strong at first . She bought Emma down. She
was strong at first too.,

Mixed Feelings
I love M. Ullrich’s writing style snd sense of humor. (Fun sponge made me laugh so hard.) The characters felt real and I had no trouble visualizing their surroundings.
I have to say, though, I wasn’t a huge fan of Caroline and the amount of work she required. Her angst irritated me enough to make me hit the forward button several times near the end.
I’m glad I heard this book and will keep reading this author’s works.
