I'm very much enjoying this series - the characters are just a little bit more specific and have just a little bit more going on than in most romance/chick lit. It's a deeper richer world and even the fake fiance trope plays out in a way that feels much more nuanced and understandable than other versions.

Loved the angst since I was in search of an angsty book.

I didn't realize this was book 2 in the series, but I think it was OK to read book 2 without having read book 1, although I am planning to read book 1 and book 3!
I do enjoy Kate Clayborn's books, she takes characters who are dealing with some difficult issues and brings them to life. In this one, Zoe is an attorney who can't shake the remorse she feels about the O'Leary settlement she handled at her former law firm. This guilt leads her to Aiden, brother of the deceased. and his proposal to her to assist him in a plan that he has.
This plan involves a camp where he and Aaron attended. As Zoe and Aiden pretend to be engaged, their relationship develops, and the inevitable happens. However, it isn't supposed to last.
I am usually up for a romance every once in a while, and I enjoyed this one.
