Book Description
Best way to get rid of an evil ex? Plan a fake wedding with a gorgeous heartbreaker and let the small-town gossip fly. What could possibly go wrong?
Just when I’m about to inherit my family’s sleepy winery and bring it to life, my old-fashioned parents throw a wrench in my plans. Thanks to my ex, they’re convinced I can’t run it without a man’s business savvy, so they’ve made him my partner.
The only way out is to marry some other guy.
Dash Corbett comes to my rescue with a pretend kiss in a cowboy bar, and we devise a one-year plan that will help us both. Dash needs a reputation makeover, and I need a husband. Win-win.
And falling for my fake fiancé? Not a chance.
Dash might have a distractingly hot exterior, but rumor has it he’s a playboy–and I’ve had enough of men who don’t mean what they say.
Then I get to know him.
Beneath the surface, he’s a guy with his own vineyard dreams and a cinnamon roll heart. He’s the first man to see me as more than a social butterfly. And when he touches me, I melt like butter on toast.
Soon our pretend relationship starts feeling very real. Especially when he says “my wife” in a possessive way that makes me believe our lie.
Falling for Dash could ruin more than my wine country dreams. But what if I love him truly?
Love You Truly is a standalone, small-town romance in the Buttercup Hill series, where the wine is chilled and the men are hot.
About Stacy Travis
Writing makes her infinitely happy, but that might be the coffee talking. She drinks a LOT of it.
She's worked as a journalist, camp counselor, TV writer, SAT tutor, corporate finance researcher, education technology editor, and non-fiction author. When she's not on a deadline, she's in running shoes complaining that all roads seem to go uphill. Or on the couch with a margarita. Or fangirling at a soccer game.
She's never met a dog she didn't want to hug. And if you have no plans for Thanksgiving, she'll probably invite you to dinner.
Stacy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and a poorly-trained rescue dog who hoards socks. And she's serious about the Thanksgiving thing.
My Thoughts
Love You Truly by Stacy Travis, expertly narrated by Hannah Chiclana and Wesley Mercer, is an incredibly engaging addition to the charming Buttercup Hill series, featuring the always-entertaining Corbett siblings and the gorgeous Napa Valley setting. This time, the focus is on Dash and Mallory, who embark on a deliciously intense journey through a classic marriage of convenience trope.
The setup is brilliant: Mallory is on the verge of inheriting her family's sleepy winery, but her old-fashioned parents throw a wrench in her plans by making her obnoxious ex-boyfriend a co-partner, believing she needs a man's "business savvy." The only way out is a fake marriage. Enter Dash Corbett, the heartbreaker of the family, who comes to her rescue with a pretend kiss in a cowboy bar. They devise a one-year plan that benefits them both: Mallory needs a temporary husband to secure her business, and Dash needs a reputation makeover, partially because his family needs the grapes from Mallory’s land.
Despite Dash’s distracting exterior and reputation as a playboy, Mallory is convinced she won't fall for her fake fiancé, as she's had enough of men who don't mean what they say. However, the chemistry and banter between the two are immediately palpable. As they spend time together, Mallory discovers that beneath Dash’s surface is a man with his own vineyard dreams and a true "cinnamon roll heart." He sees her as more than a social butterfly, and his possessive use of the term "my wife" starts to make the whole lie feel thrillingly real.
This is a book that will have you giddy with frustration and excitement. The main conflict stems from the characters letting their own deep insecurities prevent them from expressing their true feelings, making you want to "shake them" despite loving every second. Both Dash and Mallory are a little misunderstood, which bonds them, and their mutual obsession builds incredible heat and tension. The spice is intense, leaving you craving more, while the fear of losing one another because they don't know the other's true feelings is palpable. The narration by Hannah Chiclana and Wesley Mercer is fantastic, giving each character a distinct voice and truly bringing Dash and Mallory to life. This standalone, small-town romance is a great book that I absolutely loved, and I am highly anticipating the next installment in the series.
