Annie Simmons nunca quiso decir "Si, solo estaba reemplazando a su hermana en el altar. Pero un desliz de lengua, un astuto plan parental, y de repente está legalmente casada con un hombre que nunca ha conocido. Atrapada en el campo, compartiendo una acogedora cabaña con Conrad, está decidida a arreglar el desastre e irse antes de que los sentimientos se involucren.

Conrad Brenman pensó que se había casado con Louis, un tranquilo, tímido y sin retensiones. En cambio, consiguió un compañero feroz e ingenioso en este arreglo de comedia romántica involuntario, uno que lo mantiene nervioso y cuestiona todo lo que creía que era seguro. Estuvo de acuerdo con el acuerdo para asegurar su futuro, pero el espíritu desafiante y la chispa de Annie hacen que el trato sea mucho más complicado.

Tienen una década de diferencia y se ven obligados a compartir un techo, un arreglo cargado de tensión tácita, bordes afilados y una química que se niega a permanecer enterrada. A medida que las identidades ocultas y las viejas heridas afloran, la lenta atracción entre ellas se vuelve imposible de ignorar.

¿Podrán dos extraños vinculados por el engaño descubrir un verdadero amor de segunda oportunidad antes de que los secretos familiares los separen?

this was a book i happily dived in to. a fun, sweet and heart filled with love book. i was full involved an fully invested. Ann manages to balance the wit and lightness you want from a book like this with the emotional depth and deeply moving moments woven throughout too. it was a refreshing take on the genre and i loved it all the more for that and making it work.
the characters were deeply human, flawed but also able to learn, give back and move forward. there is so much more to this book in the layers you come across as you read on. so many more themes and moment of thought we meet along the way and i loved how this was never too much but also felt important, like we were also learning and possibly healing too.
two people with an arranged marriage. two people who becomes a different two people when it gets to the alter. but two people who still want what marriage results in. but can there be something more that grows here than just houses and dowry's?
Annie certainly hasn't been lucky in love. ugh thats an understatement the ****! and Conrad was here for one reason and possibly got a whole lot of other. their chemistry and interactions were gold and i was here for every moment of them. watching them call each other out, heal, grow and take care of each other was just heart warming and heart tugging.
what we come to is a pair that have been hurt and have built walls to stop it happening again. but oh do they both need to let the other in. because what they find when they do is something bold, beautiful and real.
this is a compelling story with equally compelling characters. watching there time together was a pleasure. i smiled, i felt emotional and i felt my love for this book just grow and grow as their feelings or each other did. brilliant.

Such a sweet romantic story where forced proximity makes Annie and Conrad fall for each other. Loads of family drama and scheming, but Conrad was incredible despite them all. Had a lot of fun reading this!
Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the e-arc!

A well thought out clean book, with two people merging their lives, after the bride fakes her identity, to forgive, to live, to love.

Conrad and Annie have both been hurt but their forced proximity has them pealing emotional layers to create a relationship that's genuine.

Well written, thoughtful and fun.

I really enjoyed getting to read this book, it had that slow-burn element that I was wanting and enjoyed how good the romance was. It blended the romance and comedic elements in a way that I was wanting and thought the characters were so well written and I cared about was happening. Ann Fairway has a great way of telling the story and thought the overall feel was so well done in this genre.

I could talk about The Big Day Deceit for hours! Beautiful writing, a gorgeously romantic plot, characters who will steal your heart. How absolutely adorable. A new favorite.
