This was a delightful addition to the Tyler's series! This is the story of Addy and Spenser. Addy is a civil engineer who has inherited a huge house from an estranged great aunt. The catch is that she must be married in order to inherit it. Spenser is Addy's great aunt's lawyer and willing to help Addy out in this regard. But can a temporary marriage turn into something real?I really enjoyed this book. It was great to have a nice guy hero for a change, and that's exactly what Spenser is. He's funny, he's sweet, he's caring and although they don't hit it off so well at their first meeting (under strained circumstances to be fair) he goes out of his way to show Addy that he's willing to go the distance with her (in more than just the bedroom) if she'll let him. Addy is a wonderful heroine, feisty and full of life. She resents the situation she's been put into but at the same time the sexual attraction she feels for Spenser overwhelms her and she starts to let him into her life. Addy's other family members are an important part of the story as well, showing the close knit relationships she has with her siblings and mother. That they accept Spenser so readily is frustrating to her as she doesn't want to admit to herself that he is becoming an important part of her life. The development of their relationship from wary uncertainty to friendship to love was fun to read. There were even parts that brought tears to my eyes as Addy begins to accept that Spenser's feelings for her run as deeply as he says they do. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this author. 5 stars!
