Substitute: The Wedding Pact
Substitute: The Wedding Pact | Denise Grover Swank
Megan Vandemeer meant to tell her parents about her broken engagement, but a month and a half later she finds herself boarding a plane home to her wedding. Having stretched avoidance to its limits, it's time to come clean--a terrifying prospect since her mother is sure to blame her rather than her cheating, emotionally frigid ex. A couple of drinks and two Dramamine later, Megan finds herself spilling her sob story to the tall, dark, and handsome stranger in the seat next to her. With only one week left to save his business, Josh McMillan boards a plane to Kansas City in a last-ditch effort, leaving the details to chance. An unexpected answer is delivered in the form of the beautiful brunette beside him. Though she's completely loopy, her honesty, openness, and humor charm him. So when she passes out before landing, he helps her off the plane--a good deed that leads to a colossal misunderstanding. Her parents assume he's her fianc. In a twist of fate, the mix-up might help Josh save his business, so he plays along, figuring he can help Megan too. All he has to do is stage a public break up convincing enough to appease her mother. Josh is only supposed to be a substitute groom, but the more time he and Megan spend together, the more their pretend engagement starts to feel real...and the less they want to break it off. Can a relationship that began as a farce turn into happily ever after?

I totally found this to be a charming read. It was quirky and funny and I truly enjoyed it. The one “downside” of the book was her best friend Blair who I found a bit negative but otherwise really good story.

There is so many books with this plot of having to fake a relationship or marriage it is almost a cliche.

Klou There are! Though I've never heard of either of the ones you've chosen. Great! 👏👏 4y

Exactly the book I needed! If you need an easy, light, fun, predictable, but good romance -this will fit the bill! I could stop and start this book multiple times, but still jump right back in and not lose a beat. I liked the characters (well..her mother and one of her friends had to grow on me) & wanted to see the storyline play out. I'll read the other books in the series when needing a break from the heavy/sad reads I keep adding to my tbr pile

I'm such a sucker for the fake relationship/ engagement trope! Such a sucker, you have no idea!
I downloaded this for free and was a bit hesitant about it but it was so much better than I gave it credit for and really enjoyed and loved it!

Book 74. One of my favourite tropes has got to be fake dating. I got this as a free Ebook on iBooks and didn't have high expectations for it but it turned out to be very good! I don't know if I'll read the rest of the series, but maybe someday! (Pic is our wedding day 2014)
