BLURB
A sinfully rich and wickedly hot businessman like Zach Teager has no business in my bland, rickety world.
Yet, he barges in like a storm, leaving everyone mesmerized by his charms.
Every evening I find him at my doorstep in the pretense of a silly promise he’s made to my son.
And let’s not talk about my boy, Ray who believes Zach is some sort of a Prince and maybe he is.
But not of my story.
Until events lead me to accept Zach’s insane proposal of a contract marriage.
He promises me everything. Care for my mom. A better future for my son. A loving group of family and friends.
Except one thing. Love.
And that’s okay.
I have full faith, I can never fall for someone as spontaneous and impulsive as him.
Yet, I do. Another stupid mistake to add in my long running list.
I fall for his stupid jokes, his crazy habits and most of all for him.
I fall in love with my husband and that’s one thing he didn’t promise me in our marriage vows.

My Review:
Marrying Hope by Vikki JayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Zach sees himself as broken and flawed, believing no one could love him for how he copes with his childhood trauma. The one thing he knows for sure, he never wants to have children and pass on his issues to someone else. Then one day he meets Ray, a boy who looks very similar to himself which captivates him. This leads to meeting Hope, Ray’s mother, a single mother doing everything she can to provide a good life for Ray. But Zach fears she won’t be able to and Ray could end up in foster care so he begins inserting himself into their lives. Hope really doesn’t understand why Zach is suddenly at their home almost every day. She doesn’t appreciate his over-the-top, prince like behaviors. But the more time Zach and Hope spend together, she gets to know the true man behind the persona. When Zach offers to marry Hope and provide her with all the firsts she missed as a teen mom, well, this to me, was a very unconventional relationship. The stipulation by Zach is no emotions will be involved, he is too afraid. Of course, what the heart wants, we really can’t deny. When Hope realizes she has fallen for Zach, will that ruin this new life that connects all three of them? Ray is a beautiful light and something Zach needed in his world to help him see what he was missing and what was truly possible. I enjoyed the slow burn of this romance. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

AUTHOR BIO
In those early morning hours when I’m alone, my imaginations run wild and I pen down the life of people living in my head. All my life, I have lived in small towns in different parts of the world. The friendships, the camaraderie that people share around me inspired me to create Cherrywood and St. Peppers, the two towns where all my stories take place.
I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.
I reject to read, see, write anything that does not promise a HEA.
My characters are sexy yet shy, strong yet reserved…
I am married to a man whom I fell in love at an age of 15, proposed him at an age of 23 and married at an age of 30. He has no clue what I write or do when he is snoring quietly in the next room.
