About The Real Thing

Fall in love on the shores of Sugar Lake in the small town of Sweetwater with Willow Dalton and Zane Walker.

This sassy, spirited baker is fine with heat—but is her fake fiancé too hot to handle?

Bakery owner Willow Dalton’s friendship with Zane Walker has always been a bit complicated. Now a scrumptiously hot A-list actor, Zane’s always had a reputation as a player. He’s arrogant, and he’s definitely not boyfriend material. Sure, he did Willow a favor by agreeing to take her virginity before college, but is that reason enough for her to go along with a fake engagement a decade later—even if it comes with a real diamond ring?

Zane should have known better. Nothing involving Willow has ever been easy. Still, he knows her better than anyone, and becoming America’s hottest new leading man means cleaning up his reputation. An “engagement” to curvy, sass-mouthed Willow is the perfect PR move…provided no one gets hurt.

Now Zane and Willow’s little white lie has turned into an irresistible recipe for sweet temptation. And soon no one will be able to tell the difference between their fake engagement and the real thing—including them.

Review

When Zane Walker was told he needed to clean up his playboy image, an idea came to him that would not only do just that but also finally let him get the one girl that has held his heart for years.

Willow Dalton has measure every guy to the one guy how was her first. Over the years they have stay in touch but she never let on just how much she wanted more.

Willow at first says no to Zane's crazy plan, but in the end she'd do anything for him. But what started out as just helping a friend, quickly becomes something more for both. Can they find a way to put their past behind them and embrace the future?

The Real Thing is a sexy, fun, entertaining read that really hits your sweet tooth. The connection between Zane and Willow bounces right off the pages. I love how completely Zane falls for Willow and won't let her get away a second time.

I love Willow's feistiness and sass, she's a strong independent woman who isn't afraid to stand on her own two feet. I adore how she has always loved Zane and is scared about how this will all play out, but she can't walk away from him.

I really enjoyed The Real Thing and couldn't put it down. Melissa has a knack for writing stories that the reader can get lost in. The passion sizzles, the romance flows, and hearts swoon.

If you love a book with a witty, smart talking, take no prisoners heroine and a handsome, move heaven and earth to make his woman happy hero, then I highly recommend you pick and The Real Thing.

Only For You

Love only works when your heart is in the right place. Hers could be right next door…

Single mom Bridgette Dalton doesn’t have time to stop and smell the roses—not even in her own flower shop. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t noticed Bodhi Booker. Her ruggedly handsome next-door neighbor would be the perfect candidate for a no-strings fling. Having loved and lost, Bridgette’s not ready to hand over her heart…but she could use a distraction.

Bodhi has one rule: never leave anyone behind. As a special operative, he knows that each new mission is more dangerous than the last. He’s never made a promise of forever to a woman, not even to the beautiful widow who has him tied in knots. And if there were anyone who could tempt him into putting down roots, it would be Bridgette and her adorable son.

But as his next deployment nears, they make a startling discovery. Their passion, meant only for the here and now, might already be blossoming into something more…
