Her Unexpected Engagement

I was ready to check into the Inn by the end of this story!! Stephanie was humiliated when her husband cheated on her on television and went into hiding for a bit. Now ready to move forward, she's headed home to Michigan for a job interview. Little does she know that her younger sister has told her perspective employer that she's completely over her ex's indiscretions and engaged to another man to show how emotionally stable she is. There is only one person who could potentially fill the role and that is her childhood best friend, Miles. Miles is convinced that there is no such thing as happily ever after. He's feeling restless at the inn and waiting to hear about an amazing job offer that could fulfill all of his dreams. He's not expecting to see Stephanie again after distancing himself from her after she got married. He can agree to a brief, fake engagement to help his former best friend get back on her feet without getting caught up, right? I loved these two together. Their friendship allowed them to call each other out but also led to some miscommunication. This story was light on angst. It's a sweet, hopeful read that kept me smiling. I did not read book one in this series but will definitely be reading it soon! *This is my voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy*

Miles and Stephanie are great for one another. Hopefully, they will get their act together so they can have their happily ever after. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Steph comes back home to Michigan to regroup after she found out on national TV that her husband a pro-golfer, had been cheating with someone else’s wife. Her sister found her a perfect job offer. There’s just one MAJOR problem, her soon to be boss thinks she’s not only over her ex husband, but that she’s now engaged to her childhood best friend Miles. Who she had started to have feelings for in college, but then Liam came along and they end up leaving for Florida. Miles trips over, literally, Steph’s suitcases as he’s leaving his grandmother’s inn for the day. Talk about a blast from the past….. During college his feeling toward her had changed from just best friends (her as just one of the guys), to romantic ones. The day before he could tell her she runs off and gets married to Liam, talk about lost opportunity! Now he has a job interview, but she blows right back into town and his life. What is Miles going to do, stay in Michigan working at his grandmother’s inn or take the job offer in Ohio? You’ll have to read HER UNEXPECTED ENGAGEMENT to find out. Although this is the 2nd book in the series, each book in the Checkerberry Inn series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order. I want to read HER UNEXPECTED DETOUR Book #1 to see where it started, what I missed and I hope not only that there will be a 3rd book, but that it will be out soon. It’s a cute romantic love story with quirky best friend banter and missed opportunity that endS as a HEA. I received an ARC via IndieSage through NetGalley in exchange for an honest blog tour review. FAVORITE PASSAGE ~ – Welcome to Michigan, where the center lane is your safest bet…

Loved this! After Stephanie Fitzpatrick's marriage blows up in a very public spectacular fashion, she returns home to Michigan to hopefully restart her life with a new job. When a little fib blows up into something more Stephanie finds herself looking for a temporary fake fiance. Who better to help her out than her one time best friend Miles Masterson! Miles is just now at a point where he can leave the small town he's been trying to escape. When the all grown up and very sexy Stephanie shows up looking for help he just can't say no. Now after spending time with her he's not so sure escaping is what he wants! A fun read you don't want to miss. I recommend it.
