    • Love This Small Town Marriage of Convenience Love Story
I absolutely loved Pretend We Are Us by Claudia Burgoa; it is a small-town marriage of convenience love story. It is the first book in her new The Timberbridge Brothers series, and I loved meeting the other characters. Claudia Burgoa shows that she is an amazing storyteller, and she is a one click, must read author for me. I was hooked from the first few pages of Pretend We Are Us, it was impossible to put down and I loved every moment on every page. It is one of the most enjoyable books that I have read recently. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? Love the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments and plot twists included in Pretend We Are Us. Pretend We Are Us is the story of Galeana “Gale” Monroe, former college professor and former hockey star, Ledger Timberbridge. Galeana and Ledger initially meet in the Costa Serna honeymoon suite on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, eighteen months before the story begins. Galeana is there as a jilted bride and Ledger as a bitter hockey player there for a teammate’s wedding. I love all their initial interactions with each other, especially their game of truth or dare. The following morning Galeana leaves without exchanging names or numbers with Ledger. Gale learns that late mother, Helen, was really Ellen Doherty, the daughter of Dante Doherty, founder of Maple Haven by Doherty, a maple syrup and confectionary empire. Gale moves to Birchwood Springs after learning that she will inherit Dante’s estate following the death of her mother several years ago, except there is a clause in the will that she must be married. Their first interaction in Birchwood Springs happens when Gale runs into the rear of Ledger’s SUV. Shortly after their accidental meeting, Gale proposes a marriage of convenience to Ledger. I love all the things that Ledger adds to their marriage contract. As Galeana and Ledger spend time together as husband-and-wife things change between them, but neither one of them is willing to admit their true feelings for one another, because they do not know how the other feels. I love the sizzling chemistry between Galeana and Ledger and the conversations between them flow so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, and Galeana constantly flirting with dirty talking Ledger. I love all the little things that Ledger does for the Gale. I love all the heart-to-heart conversations between Galeana and Ledger. I loved that Pretend We Are Us is a more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Galeana and Ledger are facing that need to be resolved, and there is a plot twist that threatens their lives and their relationship. I love how Claudia Burgoa reveals in the Author’s Note that the events of the plot twist will not be resolved until the last book in the series. I love the ending of the love story, and how both Galeana and Ledger change because of their love for one another and everything that Galeana is willing to do to have a life with Ledger. My favorite part is the epilogue and how it is the perfect ending to their love story and that they get closure to their first meeting. I love all the descriptions of the Birchwood Springs setting. Pretend We Are Us is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a love story, Claudia Burgoa did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. I really enjoy how the book is written in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting inside their minds and knowing their thoughts and how they really feel. Pretend We Are Us is filled with poignant and bittersweet moments as well as plot twists and surprises that I have come to love and expect in a Claudia Burgoa love story. I love how Claudia Burgoa incorporated the title of the book into their love story. I love all the characters in Pretend We Are Us. They feel like family and friends. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Timberbridge brothers and the family dynamic, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I especially love the family’s group text stream. I loved visiting Luna Harbor and catching up with Nydia. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Pretend We Are Us, who does not love a marriage of convenience love story. It was such an enjoyable book to read. Highly recommend this incredible love story. Received an advanced copy from the author. ... show more

    • Timberbridge Bk 1 Gale & Ledger
A new series! Yay! Pretend We Are Us is the first installment of Ms. Claudia’s newest series The Timberbridge Brothers. As the first in the series, it can of course be read as a standalone, this is a small town, found family, grumpy sunshine, marriage of convenience romance. No major trigger warnings either. This book is filled with angst, giggles and spicy banter that is sure to entertain its reader. Galeana aka “ Gale” is a college professor, strong and independent, she is not your typical woman, but non the less she thought she found the one man she was meant to spend her life with. Turns out she was wrong. After being left at the altar by her fiance, Gale takes her all paid honeymoon by herself leading her to Ledger. These two meet at a rough patch in each of their lives, but they find a little comfort in each other when an oopsie happens with their hotel rooms. After a quick trice filled with passion, Gale leaves Ledger behind. (This made me a little sad, it I get the point for the story) Years have passed and Gale has just found she has inherited an estate in Birchwood Springs, aka Ledger's home town, not that she knows this. There’s a catch though, because why not, the last few years haven’t been tough enough. That catch? She has to be married to claim her inheritance. When she runs into Ledger, a hometown native, an idea pops into her head. Could she ask him for a marriage of convenience? Would he even be OK with something like that? Ledger has returned home to Birchwood Springs in hopes of helping his brothers save their family’s logging business. His brothers are Lind, dysfunctional and all around a pain in the butt, but they are family, and family helps family. When he meets Gale again, it’s like lightning hits him. He didn’t want her to go before and even more so now, he will do anything to make her stay. Wowzer! Ledger and Gale are fire together, their banter and chemistry are off the charts and make for some good reading. For a little while there Ledger was a bit of a butthead, but when he finally managed to pool his head out, the fun really got started. Overall the story was fun and engaging, the plot was easy to keep up with and the spice was good as well. This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what comes next. 4 ⭐️ 2.5 🌶 Tropes 🏒 Former Hockey Player ☀️ Grumpy-Sunshine 💍 Marriage of convenience 🏡 Small Town Romance ... show more
