"I wasn't looking for love; I was looking for a purpose. I just didn't expect my purpose to be you."

Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome hero with a tortured past. Bailey Jansen is the younger outcast bartender from the wrong side of the tracks. He's thirty-five, all man, and her fiancé. Correction: her fake fiancé.

It starts out as a bet. He doesn't believe that anyone in their small town holds the Jansen last name against her - so he offers to prove a point. And it's a win-win: Beau gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and Bailey gets a chance to shed her family's reputation while she saves up to ditch town for good. All she has to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend she can't keep her hands off him in public.

But it's what happens between them in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines. It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all. This engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date.

Beau once told Bailey he'd never fall in love. Yet, here she is, head over heels for her fake fiancé.

I liked the story and a good way to end the series. Both main characters had really good back stories and enjoyed their interactions.

One of my favourites in the series

Hopeless by Elsie Silver

Goodbye Chestnut Springs! 😭

I'm a sucker for a series. I make it my whole being. And I've loved this one! Beau and Bailey closed this one off perfectly for me.

I absolutely love a fake dating, it's one of my favourite tropes. And it's been a while since I read one actually, come to think of it.

Bailey is inexperienced but not totally naive. She's inquisitive, sexual and a little nervous but confident with it if that's even possible.
Beau is an absolute babe. And has a big heart with love to give to the right person. I've been waiting for his story and especially since his MIA stint from Jasper's book.

I love Beau and Jasper's friendship being shown more in this book. I adore the flirtatious nature that runs between Beau and Bailey from the off. And the nicknames. Christ, the nicknames 🤣

I'll be sad to say goodbye to the Eatons and Wishing Well Ranch but I have loved buddy reading this entries series with my bestie @nia_schofield87 each month!
