Trial Engagement (Harlequin Romance) [Paperback]

Mcmahon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1999 | Series: Harlequin Romance

Fake fiancée!

It was Mike Black's job to keep Candee safe until she testified in court. But his idea of protection meant hiding out with her at his brother's ranch and pretending she was his fiancée!

Candee was not impressed—she was a city girl, and confinement in the country was not her idea of fun. The only compensation was living with Mike, but he knew better than to get involved with an irresistible, bubbly blonde. Past experience had taught him it could only lead to one thing: trouble!

This review is from: Trial Engagement (Harlequin Romance) (Paperback)

Throw in 100 more pages, and it may get 5 stars. This book has potentials to be a very good romance. Mike Black is a US Marshall who should keep federal witness, Candee, safe until she testified in court. Thus he hid her in his brother's ranch as his fiancee. Candee doesn't like the idea but likes the man. Only he doesn't want to be seduced. There is more to develop here, such as Candee's traumatic experience left her terrified to venture outside her house, always suspicious of her surrounding and her dependency to Mike's protection. But BM did not go deeper on this issue. Candee's inner battle never revealed to the readers. In the end it's just a light but sweet romance story.
