When their grandmother installs a new condition on their inheritance - be married or have it donated - one of the Westerly siblings decides to fake an engagement to gain the money. Alisha has been a friend of the family for forever, so when Spencer asks her if she'll lie for him she's completely on board. Things only start to get complicated when she starts having feelings for his brother.
Honestly, my bad for downloading this book hoping for a simple and straightforward conflict-solution romance. The book lacked any real problems and felt shallow. They argued back and forth for 100 pages then said you know what, maybe we should actually try to fix it, and then you can guess what happened next. That's the spoiler-free run through, it just felt like there wasn't any point to any actual problems between them. I don't like books that argue a point into the ground then just decide to ignore all of the aforementioned previous arguments.
My least favorite part was at the end leading into a sequel. The dialogue felt pretty consistently stilted, that little piece at the end being the worst of all. I won't be reading the next book in this series and I probably should have DNFed this one.
