Description
Marriage is anything but convenient.
As San Francisco’s top divorce attorney, Justine should know. She’s freed hundreds of couples from their shackles, so she knows better than to fall into that trap.
Until her grandmother hits a hot bicyclist with her car.
When everyone mistakes the victim, Pax, for her boyfriend, Justine does what any lawyer with a healthy fear of liability would do: she proposes a temporary marriage in exchange for a donation to Pax’s collapsing animal shelter. Not only is her grandmother protected, but her bosses have practically promised Justine the senior partner position she covets – if she’s married.
Six months of marriage, just until her promotion is secure, should be easy. But Pax, with his gorgeous face and to-swoon-for physique, is anything but easy to resist. Especially when the for-pretend kisses start to feel genuine and when he starts to throw around the phrase that makes her shiver – “my wife.”
Real feelings in a sham marriage are anything but convenient.
You’ll be smitten with this spicy age-gap (she’s older!), marriage-of-convenience romantic comedy with a side of adorable rescue animals and a meddling grandma.
Advance Praise
Judy on Goodreads:
Marriage and Trouble is the fifth book in Michelle McCraw’s 40 and Fabulous series. Justine Loving is well known for her aversion to marriage. From her parents dysfunctional marriage to being the top divorce attorney in San Francisco, she’s seen enough to never take the leap. At least not until her law firm won’t give her the promotion she deserves because it’s a requirement that equity partners must be married. But thanks to her unlicensed grandmother and the cute younger man, Pax Warren, that rides his bike past her house every Saturday afternoon, maybe she can make a short term exception.
This book has so much cuteness! From Justine’s grandmother that rotates between her younger relatives houses, to the animals, especially the dogs, at Pax’s animal rescue. Also the very cute and much younger, vegan Pax and the relationship that grows between him and Justine. Luckily she has her girl gang to help her work through the logistics of being over 40 and Fabulous! Can’t wait for the final book in this series.
