Will You (Pretend) Marry Me (Swan Cove Series) by Christi Barth – Review by Brandy Rymer

Will You Pretend Marry Me by Christi Barth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was such a fun read, I quite enjoyed the contemporary romance that ensued between pop star/student teacher Kaia/Abigail, a woman who leads a double life to keep her real identity separate from her stardom, and her teaching mentor Everett. It is too funny reading about the situations that occur to them upon their first meeting, and the fact that first impressions can most definitely be changed when you get to know someone. This book has a lot of great moral lessons being taught throughout the storyline, which adds to the appeal of the book. I loved the two personalities of our main character, Kaia/Abigail, and the way that both come together as she finds her inner strength to be herself and allows the power, she built in her pop star character to shine through in her real life. I realized at the end of the book that this is the third book in the Swan Cove series and am so excited to go back and read the first two books in the series about Everett’s friends blossoming romances as they were developing. Christi Barth is an amazing contemporary romance author, and I am looking forward to reading more of the books that she has written. She has a beautiful gift of bringing her characters to life, while leading the reader to make real-life connections and includes great character-building attributes in her stories to help the reader see how their life choices can affect their lives. This is a powerful skill that a lot of authors do not touch upon in their books, but that can impact the reader’s experience, love that she does this.
