REVIEW: The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier

In The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier, ex lovers Daisy Willows and Cole Benton are back together to make a joint effort to save their respective businesses. Daisy is a wedding dress designer who is struggling professionally and on the top of that her mother’s medical expenses are mounting day by day. A bridal expo owner offers to help her out if she is ready to go back to her playboy ex and pretend they are engaged.

Cole Benton works for his father’s bridal magazine, which is on the verge of downsizing. All he really wants is a crack at an outdoor lifestyle magazine, and if he has to fake-marry Daisy to make it happen, he’s definitely in. Now Daisy and Cole are playing up their fake engagement, shopping for rings, and even kissing upon request. All of which is makes it a whole lot harder to remember that their big white wedding is a big white lie…

The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier is a well written fun contemporary romance with a mix of second chance and engagement of convenience tropes. The wedding elements of the story were superbly done and were a great addition to the romance. Cole is a playboy who believes in living the moment and has little faith in happily after ever. Daisy is a strong, feisty heroine who is not afraid to speak her mind and I loved that about her. She is the polar opposite of Cole in the commitment departments and believes in forevers.

The romance was hot one moment and cold the next moment. It was fine at the beginning but after a while it got frustrating when Cole and Daisy couldnt decide what they wanted from each other. There is not a uniform continuity in some scenes and a more smoother pace was required. Both the main characters have a one year history together as lovers so their romance was believable and it could have been more enjoyable if they did not go hot and cold so often in the story.

Overall, The Wedding Hoax by Heather Thurmeier is a fun contemporary romance which is enjoyable but could have been a lot better.
