Book Description

Series: Historical | Publication Date: May 1, 1998

A Make-Believe Marriage

Cassie Phillips wasn't really married to Will Tolliver, no matter what he told people. Not that being the wife of a man as kind and thoughtful as Will wouldn't be a dream come true. But even Will would abandon her once he learned what she was running from.

Cassie Phillips was the kind of girl you took home to mother, and Will was determined to do just that. But he'd never expected that in order to protect her he'd have to tell a lie that could get them both in a lot of trouble. Especially if he couldn't convince Cassie that marrying him for real was the right thing to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The sweet ones always get to me :-), July 21, 2001

Summer Belle "Word Affectionado" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Runaway (Harlequin Historical, 416) (Paperback)

Will and Cassie are truly "made for each other". Will is a man of honor and Cassie is a proud and intelligent woman.

There are a series of lies, half truths, and misleading statements. But instead of making the reader feel that the book was a hopeless tangle of deceit, Ms. Davidson slowly lets Will and Cassie untangle all the untruths - one at a time and in the proper order.

This one truly came to life for me - sometimes I could hear the accents of the dialogue and see the expressions on their faces. It's been on my keeper shelf since I first read it and I'm sure it will stay there for some time to come.

Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars the hero and heroine were a perfect match, May 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Runaway (Harlequin Historical, 416) (Paperback)

I have read all of Carolyn Davidson's books and this is one of my favorites. She puts just the right humor and drama in her books to keep me reading on. The heroine was the perfect blend of innocence and maturity without ignorance. She was not a push over for the hero, he really had to work at having the heroine fall for him or so he thought. The hero has just the right amount of patience and thoughtfulness to understand that something happened to the heroine to take his time with her. When the heroine's secret came out the hero realizes that he must get beyond her past to keep her, quickly, and that is the way I like to read an ending.
