About this listen

It started with a lie.

A story to clean up his bad-boy reputation.

But he never bargained on falling for the girl.

Thatcher Stag doesn't give a sht what his family thinks. He works hard, sells his art for a f--k-ton of money, and celebrates with the ladies. But his brothers just won't ease up, so he blurts out the first thing that comes to mind. It seemed like such a small deception to get his family off his back. Only now, he needs to find a fake fiancé.

Emma Cheswick would do anything to get ahead in her newspaper job…except maybe spend time alone with notorious womanizer Thatcher Stag. When Thatcher makes a pass, she tries to turn down the assignment, but her boss gives her an ultimatum: interview Thatcher, or find someplace else to work.

They strike a dangerous deal: Emma plays the part and Thatcher gives her the scoop she needs to keep her job. The illusion seems shatter-proof until Thatcher shows Emma the cracks in his inked-up armor, and she reveals a secret about her health. Can she stick to the rules or does he have a new plan in mind?

Fragile Illusion is a stand-alone contemporary romance with scorching heat and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Book 3 Standalone

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast pace, I felt like there was always something interesting happening. I don’t think the cover matches the book at all. Fake fiancé. They both have personal issues to work on through. The narration was great. I definitely recommend this book. 🎧Audiobook Obsession

Loved it

Emma is a reporter and she is sent to interview Thatcher Stag.
Mistaken identity leads him to making a pass at her..
He goes to find her to make amends.
He has family problems as he is a bit of a playboy. He needs a fake fiancé. So he asks Emma.
There are many twists and turns to the story, plenty of drama and lots of steam.
Loved the book

Much hotter than the first one

There couldn’t be more opposite brothers than Tim and Thatcher Stag. In Tim’s book, a study in control and seriousness, we saw him loosen up. This book is about Thatcher, a real free spirit–he’s an artist–making sense of his life and fixing his priorities. It doesn’t happen without bumps in the road though.

The fake relationship trope was treated without much originality. The arrangement, the building tension between the two characters, the expiration date, you just have to follow the steps. The real interest of this story was elsewhere.

First, family was at the center of it. Thatcher and his brothers don’t have a loving relationship. They’re too different, and Tim and Ty don’t approve of Thatcher’s life choices. In a sense, Emma and her sister have the same kind of tensed relationship. The parents–or the lack of them–also have an important place in this book. It’s the main theme of the story.

I also appreciated how the author treated Emma’s condition, and Emma’s mindset regarding her condition too. She has expectations and a strong independant streak that people–including her family–usually dismiss because she’s sick. It’s at the core of Emma and Thatcher’s relationship because he sees her differently. It also brings some incredibly sexy scenes–this book is much hotter than the first one of the series.

As for the narration, it’s the same narrator as before in the series, and he does an okay job. His female voice isn’t the best, but his sexy voice is good, and he knows how to bring the feelings.
