The Substitute
by Denise Grover Swank
"Megan Vandemeer meant to tell her parents about her broken engagement, but a month and a half later she finds herself boarding a plane home to her wedding. Having stretched avoidance to its limits, it's time to come clean--a terrifying prospect since her mother is sure to blame her rather than her cheating, emotionally frigid ex. A couple of drinks and two Dramamine later, Megan finds herself spilling her sob story to the tall, dark, and handsome stranger in the seat next to her.
With only one week left to save his business, Josh McMillan boards a plane to Kansas City in a last-ditch effort, leaving the details to chance. An unexpected answer is delivered in the form of the beautiful brunette beside him. Though she’s completely loopy, her honesty, openness, and humor charm him. So when she passes out before landing, he helps her off the plane--a good deed that leads to a colossal misunderstanding. Her parents assume he’s her fiancé. In a twist of fate, the mix-up might help Josh save his business, so he plays along, figuring he can help Megan too. All he has to do is stage a public break up convincing enough to appease her mother.
Josh is only supposed to be a substitute groom, but the more time he and Megan spend together, the more their pretend engagement starts to feel real…and the less they want to break it off. Can a relationship that began as a farce turn into happily ever after?"
My Review:
Again this is a book that reminded me of the Sunday afternoon romantic comedies movies and i really like this one.
Megan break up with her fiance after she catch him cheating on her with his secretary but she did not have the guts to tell her parents that little detail so she is now in a plane to her own wedding.
Josh is in deep trouble, he creates a new device that will gain his company a great deal but the patent is given to another firm just because his brother lost the papers with the project in a torrid night with a young lady, now he must discover evidence that the project was stolen before it is to late for his employees.
They meet each other in the plane and after Megan pass out josh carry her out and end up as her fake fiance, but in a twist of fate he discover that she is the daughter of the other firms top investor so he decided to go with it.
Later in the book we can see the adventures of this to characters as they fall in love with each other and at the same time have interior struggles about it. I have to tell you guys that for me is a little difficult to accept and understand the part of "fall in love" just after 4 days of meeting one another but i choose to ignore that little detail and i really like the book.
As for the character i love Megan's Grandmother and i pass all book "hating" her mother but at the final chapter i complete change my heart and i fell so sorry for her when i understand what she is been through.
I am now anxious to know the story of Blair and i have to say i will definitely enjoy seeing that woman fall in love and bite her own tong =D
I decided to give this book 4 out of 5* and if you need a good laugh and a relaxing read i recommend this one to you.
