Will You (Pretend) Marry Me (Swan Cove Series) by Christi Barth – Review by Heidi Sturgess

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

When I looked at this cover and read the blurb I already fell in love 🤣❣️📚what can I say I’m a sucker for a good cover because it’s almost guaranteed that what’s in between is going to be brilliant !

Abigail is a pop star but at heart she’s a teacher and after her latest world tour she gets the opportunity to go “ under cover “ and complete her teaching degree , she’s a student teacher at a high school and just as she thinks she can breath a little easier she meets her vice principal and he’s a little rough around the edges but oh so easy on the eyes and while I get where he’s coming from , to a degree I can’t help but feel sorry for Abigail , I mean hello give the girl a break …..

Everett has his hands full trying to be chemistry teacher , look after his sister , his “ secret job” and be vice principal ( I’d also be a little flustered 😉) but things are getting a little more intense for him because he now has to deal with Abigail aka Kaia and she ruffles his feathers but like I said he could cut her some slack …. Also he’s got a chip on his shoulder thanks to an ex girlfriend and between us I could just kick her on the shins for being so unkind but you know what it’s her loss !

Anyhoo these 2 have a love hate relationship if you like but then fate intervenes “ Kaia” needs a love interest thanks to some sly slithering snake who I shall not mention , she doesn’t need airtime with her nasty intentions 🙈😡anyway Everett agrees to be the fake fiancé ( wicked giggle and rubbing of hands ) and then things get interesting and I found myself laughing , crying , getting frustrated and feeling disgusted and disillusioned by people but good will always overcome especially when cheering the right team 🥰

My heart really hurt for Abigail because on stage she oozes confidence as Kaia but take away that mask she can play behind and you have a girl that just wants to be , she wants to fit in , she want’s acceptance like the rest of us and it makes her human and I think more often than not that’s the case in real life isn’t it !? As for Everett , you’re a honey but let things go my friend … an enjoyable and fun read and it’s one is like to share with my teacher friends 🥰📚
