*Jen received a free copy of Seven Day Fiance by Rachel Harris from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.. The opinions expressed are her own and were not influenced by the method in which she received the book.
Rachel Harris is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors! Her dynamic and smoldering male leads are easy to fall in lust with. Her writing is quick paced with just enough detail that you don’t feel like you’re rehashing facts over and over (this drives me NUTS!). All of her characters feel genuine because she’s taken the time to develop their personalities. Long before anything physical happens between the male and female leads, we know what makes them tick, why they make the choices they’ve made, how their past has affected their present – which makes their connection feel unquestionable and genuine. This scores huge points with me! I want to feel like what I’m reading is realistic and Rachel delivers every time!
Back in July, I reviewed Rachel’s first book in the Love and Games series (Taste the Heat) and if you remember, I LOVED Cane and wanted to know his story. Rachel has delivered Cane – in a fantastic way! I picture a hot biker guy with lots of tattoo’s, who wears nerdy glasses and does Sudoku puzzles. He is fiercely protective of his family but doesn’t allow himself to get close enough to have meaningful relationships – thanks to his cheating father. He’s like the perfect mix between bad boy and sweetheart – any girl would fall for him. Not just any girl catches Cane’s attention – or keeps it – until he meets Angelle Prejean. Angelle (Angie for short) is a striking red-head who captures Cane’s attention from their first meeting. Angelle is sweet, determined and slightly clumsy. She and Cane have chemistry from the start but she’s friends with his sisters and because of his commitment issues, he doesn’t pursue her… Until sweet Angelle propositions him to help her out of a mess she’s created. In her quest to create a new life for herself, Angelle has created a fake fiance. How do girls get themselves into situations like this? Oh right, nosy, controlling parents who only want the best for their daughter but have never really let her live her own life before. Those kinds of situations can make a girl do some crazy things!
“Angling his mouth so their lips were barely touching, he said, “Desire, Angie. Attraction. We have it. We don’t have to fake that. And since we’re alone, and that’s my ring on your finger, it seems only fair I get to steal a kiss.”
So while Angelle and Cane play pretendy fiance – we get to experience them realize feelings they’ve probably had all along. There are bumps along the way, including a gigantic screw up from Cane that made me want to smack him upside his beautiful head. Cane delivers a grand gesture at the end of the book will make your heart melt and leave you a swooning puddle of lust. I wish all book boyfriends could be as sweet and tender as Cane turns out to be! Be on the lookout for a third book in this series that will center around Cane’s sister, Sherry!
My Rating: 4 swoony stars!

I had never heard of the author Rachel Harris until visiting this blog. This sounds like a very romantic book.
This sounds like a book that I could get lost in! But it sounds like I should read the first one before this one!
Thank you so much for having me here, and for reading Seven Day Fiance! Can I take a minute to squeal over this –> “Rachel Harris is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!” *flails*
You are such a sweetheart, and I can’t thank you enough for the enthusiasm and support.
xoxo

What a great sounding book – I have to admit I do enjoy the odd romance sometimes x
Sounds like a great book to get wrapped up into if you are looking to escape. Give me a warm blanket, a warm cup of tea or coffee and a few mintues of quiet and I am there 🙂
Sounds like a good read for those that like romantic books. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad to hear that you were able to find out what was going on with one of your favorite characters. I enjoy reading a series, that way I feel I know the people in them. Great review.
Sounds like a great love story! I love stories that have me gushing and swooning.
Uh Oh–as if my TBR list isn’t long enough with addition must reads that I have promised to review—this sounds really good!!
I like to hear that the author builds the character before the romance. I’ve read a couple books that was not the case and it didn’t make a good story.
Sounds like a great book! And in answer to the question above, I like it when a guy shows his protective instincts 🙂
Well.. what makes a man sexy in real life or in books. 😉 Because I think my husband is sexy as all get out. He is a provider and has the cutest butt in the world. He also wears glasses (not nerdy) and he loves to do his sudoku puzzles every morning. 😉 But in the books.. which is nothing like my husband… is the alpha male, take control and know what he wants.. and takes it. LOL..
I’m glad they’re good at helping us get to know the characters. That would really add to the sizzle of their chemistry!
I really like it when authors take the time to actually develop the characters in the book and don’t leave the reader guessing. I’m an avid reader and this is an important fact for me. This book looks like an interesting tale that is a little bit racy but not over the top. Thank you for sharing your find.
I love when a book has a strong and engaging male main character. You did a great job of bringing the characters to life and setting the scene for what happens in the plot.
i haven’t read a romance in a while but this sounds interesting.
I love when authors link stories or continue family lines in future books..when you find stories you enjoy, you get to keep going! Looks like a good set!
I am not into romance stories but this sounds like a nice book to read. Maybe I just have not given romance novels a chance. I will check it out.
This sounds like a great romance story. I’ll be looking into it!
I don’t typically read romance novels, so I haven’t heard of this author before. Sounds like an interesting read.
This looks like a great read! Thank you for the recommendation!
Love this!!! I’m a huge reader and am currently immersed in a series, but this will be the next on my list!
Sounds like a great read for romance lovers!
Looks like a good read.
Another wonderful romance story that I can add to my reading list; thanks to a great review, I would have never looked at the book without you…
I love a good romance book!! Sounds like a fun read for a Sat. afternoon.
This sounds like it would be a great book.
That sounds like a great book, I love finding good romance novels this time of year, grab a book, blanket, glass of wine and sit by the fire, perfect evening
This sounds like a book my best friend would devour! She loves books that are romantic and have a great story line. I will have to share this with her.
I often fall in love with the author too. Sounds like a great book and something I could sit in a room with alone and to my self while I relax. Nice!
I wish I had more time for books….I’m adding this to the list!
It sounds like a great book.
Ooo sounds like a great plot for a book, and it would make a lovely movie too!
Ok Cane sounds like the perfect man. I should look into this book.
Definitely adding this to my TBR list. I love hearing about new books to read.
Eyes make a man sexy to me!
I like reading book review from different reviewer. that’s the only time i get to learn new author that write good book. Thanks for sharing. will try to check this out.
I think a sense of humor and compassion make a man sexy. Thanks for the review.
Well, what makes for a sexy hero… He needs to have self assurance, but not arrogance. Be handsome ideally, or at least have sex appeal. He needs to treat women properly. He needs to love the heroine and look out for her 🙂
humor.
