Publisher's summary
***WINNER OF A 2018 SWOONY AWARD for excellence in clean secular romance.***
Just when her café is about to receive a major award, beautiful and talented chef Piper's world is racked. She's not a U.S. citizen! Worse, she's being deported. To New Zealand, where her parents have joined a hobbit cult.
Up-and-coming lawyer Zach is determined to climb the ladder of his old-money law firm, when he discovers the reason his promotion has always been blocked: they only promote married associates to partner.
Cue up the contract marriage. Piper can stay in the country as the wife of full citizen and great-guy-who-defends-wait-staff-from-rude-customers Zach. Zach gets his promotion by being married to not just anyone, but a gorgeous, renowned Texas chef.
Then, voilà, a quick annulment since it's never been consummated—because Piper is saving herself.
Perfect plan, right?
Sure, until dizzying chemistry and irresistible emotional attachment appear.
This contract marriage is about to get as sticky as a Southern chef's honey sticky chicken.
With mouth-watering meal descriptions, a hero to swoon for, a spunky and beautiful heroine, and kiss after spine-tingling kiss, Illegally Wedded will keep you reading way past your bedtime.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Love the story, but needs a good editor
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this book. It is super cute with a truly swoony MMC and a somewhat clueless but adorable FMC. A fun premise with some eccentric parents. Co-workers. Found family. Great food. A good insight into immigration laws and enforcement. A great feel-good story.
It would make a great Hallmark movie.
Now, I never want to disparage any author, especially a good one.
I love Jennifer Griffeth’s work. (Admittedly I have only read 4 of the plethora she has out there but I am already a fan.). I WILL be reading more. BUT I have to take a proverbial deep breath before I start any of her books.
Don’t get me wrong, She is great at the storyline. Good plot. A few unexpected twists. Sympathetic characters. Fun secondary characters. Clean but with some great kisses. She is good at all the stuff that makes you want to really let yourself sit back and just immerse yourself into the story. But you can’t. Not when the characters are telling you every single thought that passes through their head. (Even when those same thoughts/reasons were just listed about 20 seconds ago).
It might have taken nanoseconds for them but for the reader it is an eternity.
Long minutes of gritting your teeth and trying not to let your eyes roll back in your head. The worst part, you can’t really just fast forward or skip a few pages because interspersed in that is actual story points that you are anxious to get at. Points that you just don’t want to miss.
Usually when an author does this I don’t bother with anything else from them but I got invested in the stories. So much so that this is my fourth book from her that I’ve read.
If I love a story I go back and read it again almost immediately,
But as it stands I just can’t bring myself to listen to this one again. Not right now. Maybe I will in a while. Ok, More than likely I will, after a while.
I think a good editor would help her immensely. She could reign in the verbiage and still pull all the emotions she intends for the reader to feel.
Truly, If she really edited the book the end product would be stellar. Simply stellar. A book I would definitely read and re-read and then read again. And then read again.
