The Fiancee Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur / โ˜…โ˜…ย 

Synopsis โ€“

Tansy Adamsโ€™ greatest love is her familyโ€™s bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romanceโ€ฆ Tansy canโ€™t get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamilyโ€™s questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. Theyโ€™ll never actually meet, so whatโ€™s the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansyโ€™s path, her white lie nearly implodes.

Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step furtherโ€”and announces their engagement.

Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfatherโ€™s will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking itโ€™s a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancรฉes, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family wonโ€™t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansyโ€™s newfound happiness might get caught in the falloutโ€ฆ

The one book that really stood out this month was…

None.

Some books I added to my TBR this month were

The Surviving Sky (Rages #1) by Kritika H. Rao. The synopsis sounds so promising and look at that cover!
