The problem? How to convince Sean Kowalski that she wasn%E2%80%99t a recent asylum escapee. <em>Batshit crazy</em>, was the actual term that Sean used referring to Emma, when she approached him with the proposal. <br/> <br/>I know. <br/> <br/>I%E2%80%99ve read this before. <br/> <br/>The plot isn%E2%80%99t that original. <br/> <br/>It doesn%E2%80%99t mean I didn%E2%80%99t like the book. I still laughed at the predictable situations their lies landed them in. I could already tell that Cat will see through their deception from a mile away. But even with the diaphanous plot lines, I still loved this book. <br/> <br/>The author gave these two characters dimensions that made for an entertaining read. Even Gram and Russell%E2%80%99s side romance made me smile. And of course, the Kowalski family alone gave me enough laughs throughout the entire book. They also made me sniffle silently in my corner of the bed when the charade was over. Who'd thunk it? <br/> <br/>Over all, funny, witty, with real characters made this contemporary romance a win for me :) <br/> <br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4352734-joy">View all my reviews</a>){kind=link}
