Fall in love with my enemy? No way.

Marry him to save my family’s struggling ski resort? That’s a different story…

Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I’ll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball–even wear Devlin Buckley’s ring on my finger.

Not that I’ll enjoy it.

Sure, he’s charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn’t seen in six months, if you catch my drift).

But I’ll never trust him–he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.

Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Marry him, and he’ll help me restore my family’s crumbling resort to its former glory–and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we’ll go our separate ways.

It’s temporary. Strictly business. Purely for show.

Until I realize how much I like it when he says "my wife."

Once we’re sharing a last name–and a bed–our make-believe match starts to feel a little too real.

And if I’m not careful, I could lose everything… my home, my dreams, and my heart.

What could go wrong when you marry a virtual stranger in order to inherit your family ski lodge? Could the make-believe marriage become real? Devlin and Lexi have chemistry from the first time they meet. They each have their reasons for needing to be married. They decide that they could be married with benefits. Will they end up having real feelings? I enjoyed seeing the others from the previous series and books in this series. C.J Bloom and Robert Hatchet brought the book to life for me. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Wonderful addition to the series

This is the third book so I wanna say this is the third brother. that we have gotten a story for. Obviously you've don't need to read them in order. You don't need to even read the other ones. This story I love. I love her heart and how.
She's so determined to save the ski lodge. And he has some kind of fear. he's a sweetheart. He competitive in nature which is fun.Make for some very cute scenes. There's some really sexy scenes some steamy stuff. This was such a sweet story hard warming. I recommend in fact. I recommend that you listen to the audio. It definitely elevated the story even more. I love CJ Bloom she is so good a banter her delivery is just spot on. Robert is climbing the ladder fast in my book. He's easy to listen to. He's really good at gettig into charcter and keeping you in the book.

Melanie Harlow never misses! & I absolutely love when she writes about marriage of convenience. I fell instantly in love with Devlin & Lexi. I loved their banter and it just added to the build up and tension. you could feel the chemistry come off of the pages of these two. I love how much Melanie's writing can make me laugh one minute, be swooning the next, and then also making me get in my feels. we love off al the "my wife" moments- and I seriously don't think anyone does it like Melanie. I loved the cameos also, they always make me super happy to see them again. another thing I can always count on is how freaking good the spice is. it always hits for me, she can do no wrong. Reading new Melanie Harlow books is like coming home, they are so comforting and I know I'm going to enjoy my time there. I loved being back in this world, and I am so excited to come back again soon!

Narration was great. There were time in the story that I got a little bored. The cousin was annoying. The "twist" was a little too easy in my opinion.

Enjoyable

They met at a bar by chance and had an instant connection that led to a one night stand.

They met again a couple days later at a business meeting. She thought he scammed her and he had to go back to his company with his tail between his legs.

Turns out his company sucked and so he left them. Proposed a crazy idea to Lexi and fell head over heels for her in the process which didn’t shock him but solidly confused him for about two days lol

The “grand gesture” he did for
Her after they separated was so beautiful! And while grand in the scheme of things because of its significance to him it was simple, beautiful and heartfelt. You truly can’t ask for much better than that!!

This gem was narrated by Robert Hatchet and CJ Bloom! I love both of them so much!

They each have a unique sound and you can’t mistake them for someone else.

Roberts voice is soft and smooth but not too deep.

CJ has a “girly” voice it’s higher in tone and fits those younger character perfectly

LOVED!!

Okay so this might be my fave of the Cherry Tree Harbor series. I love Lexi & Devlin from the beginning. Like hello one night stand 🥵 but then Devlin setting out on his revenge tour while simultaneously helping her save the business?? Hell yes. Shotgun wedding in Vegas with one bed?! And then him saying “my wife” and the firefly?! Absolutely loved everything about this book! And once again, she’s picked amazing authors who do an outstanding job!

Fave out of the series

This is the 3rd installment of the Cherry Tree Harbor series, and they just keep getting better. I want to live in Cherry Tree Harbor. These books are intertwining but can really be read in any order. I just prefer to start at the beginning with any series.

All Lexie had ever wanted was to run her family’s ski lodge. Devlin has always been overachieving and working towards the next goal in business and life, never staying too long. The ski lodge is struggling, and Devlin’s company is working towards the potential sale of the lodge much to Lexie’s dismay.
Circumstances arise and bring Devlin and Lexie to an arrangement to save the lodge. A marriage of convenience with some pretty spicy benefits. This is not a hardship for either to start since their attraction is instant and they soon find out how comfortable they are together. They just enjoy the other’s company. Then to no surprise, both are in denial about their true feelings. These fears and trust issues come from different places for both. This is a low angst, enjoyable read to get to Lexie and Devlin’s HEA. You also get to revisit several characters from the series and Cloverleigh farms. What’s not too like?

Narrated by CJ Bloom (say no more – she’s a one click narrator for me) and Robert Hatchet. They were wonderful in this story. Robert was successful in bringing the full swoon factor for Devlin and CJ Bloom was perfect as Lexie.

Melanie Harlow creates the best worlds with characters readers can’t help but fall for. Is it crazy to say that each book in the series just gets better and better? This is the best yet. Spot on narration perfects the story.

Just the Best
