Summary: :)
Review: Charlotte Morreaux was having a bad day. Her dads partners daughter (Kendra) is marrying Charlottes ex-fiancee (Trey). To make matters worse Kendra has asked Charlotte to help save her wedding. Charlotte owns a bridal shop, but wants nothing to do with this wedding. Charlotte's back is against the wall because the press will be there and her business does not need any negative publicity. On her way to the wedding shower Charlotte has an accident caused by none other than Derek Cabot, her nemesis. Once at the shower, Kendra's mother tries humiliate Charlotte by asking about her personal life. Remember, Kendra is marrying the man that left Charlotte and the alter, literally. Charlotte's stepmother Caroline tries to 'help' by implying that Charlotte told her family the big news-that she was married. Right when it looks like Caroline's lie will be exposed to all of the shower guests, including the press, Derek jumps in as the 'role' of her husband. Now that Charlotte and Derek have announced to all that they are 'married' it seems they have no choice, but to keep pretending for a while. The only problem comes when they can no longer tell the difference between real life and the fictional one that they have created. This was a short delightful story. It was a little slow and laid back. The whole story took place over a span of about a week. I did not feel like I really got to know the characters, but it was still a good read.
