From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got OverI only wanted to protect youโ€ฆLuke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. He's strong, sexy, broody. The last thing he's looking for is a woman to ruin his solitude. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realizes that she's the perfect decoy. A fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's deployed. So what if kissing her sends his mind to wicked places? He can control himself. Can't he?Harper was on her way to starting a new lifeโ€ฆ again. But something about Luke makes her want to settle down in this small town and make his house a home. When she's in his arms, she finally knows what it's like to feel safe. Protected. One night of sharing a bed turns into something much, much moreโ€ฆ and soon Luke can't keep his mind off Harper's wide gray eyes or his hands off her luscious curves. He never thought he'd feel this way about a woman again. But he knows that he can't tell her the truth about his dark past. And she can't reveal what she's running from. At least this isn't a real relationship. It's only for a month. It's only pretend. Until it isn't.

A rollercoaster ๐ŸŽข ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

While this was my first Lucy Score novel, it certainly won't be the last!! The writing and characters blended beautifully, like warm apple pie & vanilla ice cream. Luke and Harper's relationship is one I will remember for a long time! Love is a wonderful thing โค๏ธ

I love it!!!!

5/5โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Another amazing story from Lucy!!!! So easy to read, funny with a hint of โ€žgive me a tissue, Iโ€™ll cryโ€, spicy and good for book slump. My went away so so fast. ๐Ÿ˜ Luke and Harper are both great characters. Harper, a total sunshine with her own chaos and even bigger heart. Luke, a little grumpy with some dark clouds above his head but available for anyone who needs his help and in need for someone to break his walls. His and Harperโ€™s chemistry was โ€œbornโ€ very quickly and no matter if they had a good or bad time - they knew it and everyone around them was aware of it too, especially when Luke got territorialโ€ฆ.and he did. ๐Ÿ˜ โ€œ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ง ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž?โ€ โ€œ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ž? ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐›๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ? ๐‹๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐› ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ.โ€ โ€œ๐˜๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐š ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ณ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ง, ๐‡๐š๐ซ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ ๐–๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ž.โ€ This little town was so charming.

Pretend You're Mine - Emotional Rollercoaster!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This was my first Lucy Score novel and it did not disappoint. I really liked this, even though I wanted to yell at Harper and Luke many, many times throughout. Despite it all, I understand why they are the way they are and I found myself totally immersed in this book. You will experience ALL of the emotions - this is a fantastic read and I can't wait to get book two!

Must read! Wonโ€™t regret :)

This is the 2nd Lucy Score book Iโ€™ve read. 1st was Rock Bottom Girl which I thought was alright so I was iffy about reading this one but I already bought it. As soon as I started reading I was hooked! This book is so well written that itโ€™ll keep you engaged and wanting more. I finished it in a week. Itโ€™ll make you smile, laugh, mad, cry and every emotion in between. It is a book that will have you feeling good when youโ€™re done reading it. I highly recommend it!

Must read

I. Donโ€™t. Know. How. Iโ€™ll. Recover. After. This. My thoughts and emotions are all over the place. The raw intensity, the flow of the story, interactions between characters, just everything was pure wonder. The instant connection between Harper and Luke, I could feel the tension through the pages. Two complete strangers, with total opposite past, and different futures, find themselves being pulled to the other. I was captivated by everything in this book. Harperโ€™s ability to see the good in anything given the way she grew up shows the strength and endurance she is capable of. The relationships she develops over time and how she helps everyone around her is incredible. Being stuck in the past has a vise grip on shattering Lukeโ€™s future. Punishing himself for things out of his control, thinking he doesnโ€™t deserve to be happy or move on. But the people around him have had enough of watching him fall apart. The relationship that blossomed between Aldo and Harper had me laughing and crying. Harperโ€™s connection with Sophie and Gloria was bond that would never break. And landing the town where she finally felt at home. Luke had challenges that are incomprehensible and unimaginable. But working through them and finding support in his family and friends, he is able to see through the darkness. โ€œLuke rarely divided his attention, making it seem like he was always fully focused on the task at hand. It was that focus that Harper felt every time he looked at her. She felt important. Worthy. Interesting.โ€ โ€œBaby, you and I both know that this was something special. But Iโ€™m not surprised. I knew from the second I saw you, the moment you opened those beautiful gray eyes and looked up at me, that I needed to be inside you.โ€ He tugged her hand up to his mouth and placed a kiss on her palm. โ€œI donโ€™t know whatโ€™s happening here, but youโ€™re in my head and my blood. There was no way that this was not going to happen.โ€ โ€œShould I really be taking advice from a man whoโ€™s never been married?โ€ โ€œDonโ€™t have to jump off the cliff to know you die at the bottom.โ€

Good

3.5 overall 3 for spice Third person pov, small town, relationship of convenience. Harper + Luke were a decent quick read. The story started off on the slower side and I didnโ€™t really feel much of a buildup of tension between them. It just kind of got me feeling like โ€œokay letโ€™s get to the good partโ€. If youโ€™re someone who needs a good grovel, this probably is not your man. While there is some, the parting words he shares with Harper I felt were a little too easily d forgiven and forgotten. Overall though it was a good heartbreaking story and if you tend to like these tropes then I recommend giving it a shot!

Beautiful Book and entertaining read!

If there was ever a perfect premise for a Hallmark movie, this would be it. Pretend You're Mine is a small town romance with a sweet but spunky FMC, a military hunk with a heartbreaking past, and loveable side characters. There's tropes like grumpy/sunshine, fake dating, unrequited love, found family and one bed/forced proximity. You'll go through several emotions and just when you thought things were going good, BAM. Luke needs punched in the face. I understand why Luke said what he did, but I'm not sure if I totally forgive him after those words. Harper definitely needed to make him grovel more in order to win back her affections. Overall though, I enjoyed this book and hope you do too!
