I’m a sucker for a romance with a big old house that’s falling apart. Victorian, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Arts and Crafts, Tudor Revival. You get the idea. I even have an old house in the book I’m writing. A Queen Anne that my heroine is converting into a bed and breakfast. Hopefully Darcy house is as much of a character as the two main protagonists, Charlotte and Ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving with my three best friends and our seven kids into a dilapidated brownstone in Boston may have seemed like the most insane thing I’d do this year. Apparently the universe said hold my beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because last night I got drunk and married my boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry, it’s all fake. Or at least everything after ‘I Do’ will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’ll help fix up our broken house and all I have to do is take a few pictures and pretend we’re happily married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy peasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if someone could just remind him that it’s all fake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother Faker is the first book in the MomComs Series. Four best friends who are also single moms move into a crumbling brownstone. Each book in the four part series is written by a different author. I listened to them all on Audible and they were all good but Mother Faker is my favourite of the four. I love plus size heroines and the author does a great job with Liv’s character. Also, there is plenty of always-been-you vibes in this one, and that’s another of my favourite tropes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the friendship and sense of family the four women have and likewise the banter between the Langfield brothers. Spot on. And the seven kids…so adorable. Let’s face it, this would never work in real life but that’s what makes it such great escapism. And the notion that these rich men (I know we’re over the billionaires!) would do anything for their women is kind of swoon worthy. I mean who doesn’t want a man who appreciates lots of pillows on the bed. IYKYK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writing is good. It’s cute. It’s steamy. It’s fun. But it’s the sense of community they create for themselves that’s really the appeal. And let’s be honest, we need that now more than anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
