What if the perfect match is a perfect surprise? Honor Holland has just been unceremoniously rejected by her lifelong crush. And now—a mere three weeks later—Mr. Perfect is engaged to her best friend. But resilient, reliable Honor is going to pick herself up, dust herself off and get back out there…or she would if dating in Manningsport, New York, population 715, wasn't easier said than done. Charming, handsome British professor Tom Barlow just wants to do right by his unofficial stepson, Charlie, but his visa is about to expire. Now Tom must either get a green card or leave the States—and leave Charlie behind. In a moment of impulsiveness, Honor agrees to help Tom with a marriage of convenience—and make her ex jealous in the process. But juggling a fiancé, hiding out from her former best friend and managing her job at the family vineyard isn't easy. And as sparks start to fly between Honor and Tom, they might discover that their pretend relationship is far too perfect to be anything but true love….

I didn't know that this book was part of a series until after I'd requested it from Netgalley. But looking at the blurb for this one and the one that came before, it looked as if I could read it as a stand-alone – and I was right. This is one of those series where each book focuses on a different set of people – but the people are all intertwined in each other's lives. This book was about Honor Holland, and the first book was about her sister Faith.
Based on what I read in this book, I'm pretty sure I prefer Honor to Faith anyway (though when I do finally get around to reading the first one, I'll fall in love with Faith's story too).
Honor hasn't had much luck when it comes to love. My heart absolutely broke for her when the love of her life compared her to a broken in baseball glove:
“When he puts it on, it's like an old friend, and he knows he'll have a better day because of it. But you don't need that glove every day.”
Douchebag.
