About this eBook
When you marry your sister’s ex in Vegas, you’re in for a messy trip home…
When marketing exec Brooklyn Hayes wakes up in Vegas after a corporate team-building trip, she’s expecting the hangover. The ring on her finger, not so much. And nothing could have prepared her for the sight of her best friend—her sister’s ex—right there beside her. She has no idea how this happened, but the one thing she knows for sure is that no one from their nosy, close-knit hometown of Rose Bend can find out!
Graphic designer Patrick King is used to keeping secrets—starting with his crush on his ex’s sister. Since he doesn’t remember much about how they ended up married or the night they apparently spent together, it shouldn’t be hard for him to keep their elopement a secret too.
But the more time they spend together trying to figure out what to do, all while keeping their secret from the whole town, the more uncertain they become about ending their marriage. While their impromptu nuptials might’ve been a mistake, the growing love between them doesn’t feel like a mix-up. They’ll need a miracle to make it through without slipping up…or falling.

Oh my gosh! This was so incredibly cute. Angsty, but cute. It’s part secret relationship and part best friends to lovers, with dollop of family drama and lots of “waking up married in Vegas” goodness. Brooklyn and Patrick were just adorable together. It was so easy to see how much they both cared for one another even with all their family complications. I loved seeing this pair figure out how important what they had was and fought to keep it in the end. I received a complimentary copy

This may be a novella, but it didn’t skimp on the emotional punch it delivered! These two literally wake up in Vegas married, and it is so much more complicated than it seems. He has been in love with her for years and never acted on it. She sees him as a staple in her life and doesn’t want to be attracted to him. They keep saying and doing the wrong thing, inadvertently hurting the other. Chances are taken and lost, before they are both are ready to take that leap of faith and stick the landing

Four and a half stars THE HUSBAND SITUATION by Naima Simone is a novella tying into her lovely Rose Bend series. Long story short? Brooklyn Hayes and Patrick King are best friends who pull off an intoxicated oops in Vegas. Of course, the reality and aftermath are a bit more complicated, and Naima Simone does her usual incredible work of bringing their hearts and families and feelings to vibrant life. While this may be a novella in length, The Husband Situation is overflowing with passio
