Every woman will relate to Newlywed Games, a hilarious romantic comedy about a "little white lie" that grows into a very big problem. Meghann Livingston invents a husband to soothe her dying mother. But when her mom miraculously recovers, then comes for a visit, Meghann is hard-pressed to explain her "husband's" absence! Before Meghann can come clean, her handsome, elusive boss, Bruce Halloway, inadvertently steps into her romantic charade ... and to Meghann's shock and horror, insists upon playing "son-in-law" to her mom. The masquerade's success depends upon them playing their newlywed games extremely well. But when they do, both Meghann and Bruce -- even as they struggle to overcome the consequences of their deceptions -- find themselves falling in love ... for real!

Mary Davis does a great job in her first book effort! It's an old story but told in an fun, easy to read way. You really feel for Meg and Bruce as they struggle with the family situations that one seemly little lie creates, as well as Bruce's efforts to show his family (and Meg) that he really is a changed man. Curl up with a cup of tea, settle back and enjoy Newlywed Games! You will be glad you did!

When Meghann's mother announces an unexpected visit, Meg goes into a panic. She'd told her terminally ill mother she was married. It was just a little white lie to ease her mother's worries. But Mom has recovered, and Meg's charade is about to be exposed Deception, attraction, and more than a few little white lies, complicate Meg and Bruce's already complicated relationship. Then when Bruce finally thinks he may have won Meg over, she finds out about his little white lie. Mary Davis amuses and entertains in her first Palisades romance, Newlywed Games.
