About this ebook

To make a small town believe a fake marriage, it has to look like the real thing.

Natalie Haven couldn’t get away from the suffocation of her hometown fast enough. Fluttering around the globe as a freelance photographer is far more to her liking. Even better that her unconventional job pisses off her daddy.

But when her best friend sends out an SOS, all her running comes to an end and she returns to the small southern town.

Asher McCoy can win over a crowd with a husky note and a strum of his guitar. Wooing a judge and proving he’s responsible enough to take custody of his niece and nephew won’t be so easy. But marriage makes any man look more respectable, and his best friend will be the perfect bride. Except for the tiny detail that their fake marriage has to look real, which means living in the same house and sleeping in only one bed—not to mention inciting an undeniable attraction between them.

But convincing Nat to put down roots in her hometown—and with him—will prove even more impossible than winning over the toughest judge.

For fans of Lauren Blakely, Kate Canterbary, and Tessa Bailey comes a marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, sudden single parent spicy small town romance. Small Town Pretender is book five in the Havenbrook series, but it can be read and enjoyed without reading any other Havenbrook books. Each full length book in this series can be read on its own.

Brighton Walsh is a new author to me so this is my first visit to Havenbrook but it certainly won’t be my last because Nat and Asher’s friends to lovers story ticked all my boxes. Nat left Havenbrook to follow her career, she never intended coming back but when her best friend calls saying he needs her, she returns without hesitation. Asher is just about to hit it big with his music career when tragedy strikes when his sister and brother in law are killed, leaving him with two small children to care for. What follows is two friends learning to cope with grief, two small children and grandparents fighting all the decisions they make so they do what is needed and create a fake relationship to keep the judge happy. But what happens when feelings come into to play will love be enough for Nat to want to stay ….. This book touched me on so many levels, I smiled, I swooned and I shed a tear as I joined Asher and Nat’s journey, I fell hard and fast for Asher, I adored Nat and I loved those two small children who’s life was upturned in a blink of an eye. This book was everything I expected and I can’t wait to play catch up with the previous books in the series as soon as time permits. Wonderful read that I High recommend to all small towns/friends to lovers readers.

Small Town Pretender by Brighton Walsh is a swoony, sassy and sweet small town romance where best friends fall in love through a series of complex circumstances. I loved Nat and Asher and they have an amazing chemistry that is soul deep. . . Nat was an interesting character. She has this colourful, lively and sassy personality with great sense of humor, recklessness and unconditional love. Ashe made me swoon. I mean nothing is sexier than a bearded musician who leaves everything to take care of his newly acquired family. Nat and Asher had the comfortable camaraderie from the beginning. Trust wasn't an issue. And then the sizzling hot chemistry invaded. Asher, being the great guy he is, wanted to set her free but broke each other's heart before deciding to admit his feelings. Small Town Pretender by Brighton Walsh was sometimes funny, sometimes intense, sometimes emotional and sometimes super sexy. Overall you can expect a good time in Havenbrook. I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

All heart with a side of romance. Asher and Nat give emotions a reason to smile even at the risk of heartache. Walsh takes the simple approach to getting the heart involved and manages to make it stick. Small Town Pretender is a sweetheart. A beautiful journey from the inside out.

About the author

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love—writing. She likes her books how she likes her tea—steamy and satisfying—and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids—one who’s already taller than her and one who's catching up too fast—and her dog who thinks she’s a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it's mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.
