Though Kayla Moriarity loves her sister, she is not looking forward to going to her wedding. She knows it will just be another excuse for her family to ask about her love life, and not to mention the plane ride itself she will have to take to get there. While waiting to board, sexy military man Cooper Shillings is ready to do whatever it takes to help her nerves...especially if that means using certain distracting methods. What neither are prepared for is what one plane ride can do to them. What happens when the plane lands, and they don't want to leave each other just yet?

TEMPORARILY YOURS by Jen McLaughlin, who is writing as Diane Alberts, is a fun, sexy, and quick read for anyone who loves a good romance with sharp, funny dialogue. McLaughlin gives Kayla and Cooper hilarious and serious moments throughout the book, and the sparks from their chemistry is nearly tangible. I love how both characters are so strong independently, but they show a different kind of strength when they are together. It makes them a very believable and enjoyable couple to read about. It doesn't hurt at all how delicious McLaughlin describes Cooper, and the romantic tension will make you blush more than once.

What I especially like about TEMPORARILY YOURS is the little details it has in it. The book isn't very long, just around 200 pages, but the detail on every page is full of surprising little things that help create a bigger picture, but the details never drags or halts the flow of the dialogue.

If you enjoy any sort of contemporary adult romance like those of Rachel Harris, then TEMPORARILY YOURS is a great pick. The story flies by but leaves you with a feeling of just having been told a realistic, touching story with strong characters and a healthy dose of fun.

Book Summary

This soldier’s the perfect hoax…if she doesn’t fall for him first.

Stats whiz Kayla Moriarity knows her way around numbers and algorithms. Men, on the other hand, are unsolvable equations. Now Kayla’s en route to her sister’s wedding—without the fictional boyfriend she invented for her family. Fortunately, her plane comes complete with complimentary cocktails and a ridiculously hot ex-marine in the seat beside her. And that’s all it takes for Kayla’s inhibitions to go sailing out the airlock...

Cooper Shillings has soft spot for people in trouble, but he certainly wasn’t expecting to land in it himself—and definitely not while getting naughty mid-air with a sexy southern belle. When he hears Kayla’s predicament, however, he offers his services as a stand-in boyfriend. After all, he’s heading overseas soon...and how could he refuse a little no-strings wickedness?

It’s the perfect plan. And all Kayla has to do is ensure her family falls for the ultimate bluff, without falling for it—and Cooper—in the process...
