The first in a new historical rom-com series, a handsome earl hires a fake fiancée to keep his matchmaking mother at bay, but hilarity ensues when love threatens to complicate everything.

The last thing Hugh Standish, Earl of Fareham, ever wants is a wife. Unfortunately for him, his mother is determined to find him one, even from across the other side of the ocean. So, Hugh invents a fake fiancée to keep his mother’s matchmaking ways at bay. But when Hugh learns his interfering mother is on a ship bound for England, he realizes his complicated, convoluted but convenient ruse is about to implode. Until he collides with a beautiful woman, who might just be the miracle he needs.

Minerva Merriwell has had to struggle to support herself and her two younger sisters ever since their feckless father abandoned them. Work as a woodcut engraver is few and far between, and the Merriwell sisters are nearly penniless. So, when Hugh asks Minerva to pose as his fiancée while his mother is visiting, she knows that while the scheme sounds ludicrous, the offer is too good to pass up.

Once Minerva and her sisters arrive at Hugh's estate, of course, nothing goes according to his meticulous plan. As hilarity and miscommunication ensue, while everyone tries to keep their tangled stories straight, Hugh and Minerva’s fake engagement starts to turn into a real romance. But can they trust each other, when their relationship started with a lie?

My thoughts on Never Fall for Your Fiancée

Never Fall for Your Fiancée is not just a Historical fiction tale; it’s a Regency Rom-Com! Book 1 of the Merriwell Sisters series is a delight.

I’m quite partial to the Regency Romance genre. I can honestly say I’ve never laughed this much while reading one.

Hugh is a rakish bachelor determined to stay that way. He has that boyish charm that allows him to play the cad to hide his gentle, caring heart. He creates an elaborate ruse to thwart his mother’s matchmaking attempts without hurting her feelings.

Minerva took on the mantle of adulthood before her time when her mother passed and her worthless father abandoned the family. She assumed the responsibility of caring for her two younger sisters. The poor girl is barely managing to keep them fed and sheltered.

When fate puts Minerva in Hugh’s path, sparks fly, and hilarity ensues. The predicaments they find themselves in while attempting to maintain their faux engagement will keep you in stitches.

The pace is quick and the dialogue witty, entertaining you from cover to cover. Every character, no matter how minor, is well-developed.

Kudos to author Virginia Heath on a fabulous kickoff to the Merriwell Sisters series. I hope they all find their true love and “marry well.”

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
