Her Fantasy Husband

A truly unbelievable story. The perfect man, a stranger no less will marry, live apart from and live like a eunuch for five years for a woman he met only once. NOT!!! That incredulity is what makes this story an amazing read. I could not read the blurb without giving the novel a look see. Despite the over the top plot, it worked. Highly implausible, surely improbable but stranger things happen ever day. Every once in a while it's fun to live in a world of make believe. Her Fantasy Husband by Nina Croft is a twist on a marriage of convenience story that was a surprisingly sexy and imaginative ride.

I really enjoyed this one and thought the premise of the story was an intriguing one. I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because it's just so hard to believe a strong virile man stayed celibate 5 years because of a fake wife. It is a very fun read though. It's well written and I loved Josh and Alexia. These two entered into an arranged fake marriage that was to last 5 years and 5 months so Alexia could gain control of her trust fund. Now 5 years later Josh is looking to have the marriage annulled. Lexi is desperate not to let that happen and will do everything she can to prevent it. The struggle between these two is a thing of beauty. I definitely recommend this one.

Josh Slater married a perfect stranger and put his life on hold but now he’s a man on a mission – to chase down his “wife” and get an annulment so he can indulge in a little no-strings sex in this captivating romance. Alexia Slater needed a marriage of convenience to gain control of her inheritance and though she doesn’t want the marriage to be real that hasn’t stopped her from spending the last five years fantasizing about her gorgeous husband and the reader can’t help but be captivated by the battle of wills that only one of them can win. The chemistry sizzles between Josh and Lexi no matter how hard they try to deny it or ignore it because it would just complicate things since they both want different things out of this pseudo relationship which has some emotional turbulence flowing from the pages as both of these strong compelling characters capture reader’s hearts in this fast paced, smooth flowing plot full of suspense and romance. Well, a battle of wills between two strong willed people is certainly exciting enough on its own but this story has anticipation spreading throughout as Josh and Lexi actually spend a little time and get to know each other while trying to keep Lexi’s family from whatever manipulation they are up to. The scenes are well written and full of great details that make it easy for the readers to relate to the characters as they get know them and the intriguing romance keeps them glued to the pages. I was fascinated in the first book by the way the series plot came about and I really have to say that it is certainly turning out to be entertaining as well as engaging as each man sets out to keep his vow and Josh and Lexi’s story is a bit different on several different levels that adds to the characters’ appeal and I was completely captivated by their romance. 4 ½ STARS
