The Weekday Brides #4
From Goodreads:
Karen Jones: The petite blonde married a Hollywood star, yet she’s the one who spends every day playing a part: the part of a happy wife. A year ago, she agreed to wed a famous actor to diffuse rumors about his personal life. Now, her divorce sits just around the corner, along with a five million dollar payout. However, as she prepares to exit her fake marriage gracefully, her drop-dead-gorgeous brother-in-law walks through the door…and into her heart.
Zach Gardner: Dark-haired, blue-eyed hunk Zach crashes Michael and Karen’s fancy one-year anniversary party, determined to meet the wife his brother hid from their family. But sparks fly the moment he and Karen see each other. When the famous couple decides to visit the whole Gardner clan, Karen must keep Michael’s secret under wraps in front of his questioning relatives…including Zach, the man who could be the real love of her life.
My Review:
This is an amazing book and my favorite so far in this
series. I love Karen and her marriage
to Michael. The fact that this is a fake
marriage, but yet Karen and Michael do love and care for each other. They also truly do make each other
happy. But then Catherine Bybee brings
in Zach. Hot, sexy, steamy Zach who
happens to be Michael’s brother. The
sparks are immediate and undeniable, but Karen is Zach’s sister-in-law making
her off limits. It was great to see
them circle each other, while working very hard to stay loyal to Michael and
their values.
As the story continues we get small peaks into the rest of
Michael’s family and their lives, but it definitely left me needing to know
more. I am hoping that the future books
in this series will give me more about Judy, Hannah, and Rena. Of course more with Zach and Karen would be
perfect also.
This whole series is
a favorite of mine and I highly recommend it.
The books do not have to be read in order, but you will have a better
background on the characters if they are.

EXCERPT
This man was gorgeous, and
if she were one to believe in instant attraction, her body responded to him
with a fierceness she didn’t think possible. Maybe this was what the women
gazing at Michael experienced that she did not. This wild thrill of discovery
that led to possibilities only the big screen could fulfill.
Instead of letting her
imagination get the best of her, Karen flattened a hand over her stomach and
attempted to act unaffected. “Do I know you?”
The sex personified
blue-eyed man stepped toward her. It took effort for her to hold her ground.
Sensing her unease, he
held still, looked around the both of them as if noticing the caterers running
about and guests arriving behind him, and said simply, “Zach Gardner.”
The smile on her face
stayed. The name tickled at the edges of her consciousness. Memories flashed
behind the veil of her mind until she narrowed her focus. “Michael’s brother?”
she whispered.
Zach gave a small nod and
swept his eyes down her frame. When his eyes met hers again, he masked whatever
he’d been thinking, then he smiled and said, “And you’re the wife none of us
have met.”
Not a lot shook Karen.
She’d managed the role of Michael’s wife under the ever-present scrutiny of
paparazzi, producers, actors, and fans . . . but the man standing in front of
her did what no one else could. He made her question her decision to
marry.
