(What's this?)
It all started innocently enough. Just a way for Charlotte Greenstone to reassure her dying godmother. Better for Aurora to die believing her dear Charlotte engaged - albeit to a globetrotting, Indiana Jones style botanist - than about to be left all alone in the world.
But thanks to the pesky gossip between patients, nurses, friends and relations, Charlotte's imaginary fiancé develops a life of his own. Until through a mixture of well intentioned meddling, mistakes and happenstance, this made-up man appears in the all-too-gorgeously-real form of Greyson Tyler. And suddenly nothing is all that innocent anymore.
In true M&B style, this book is light, romantic and delightful. An independent heroine, a determined hero, inconvenient desire, plenty of attraction and lots of lovely complications to make things tricky. And because this is M&B no obstacle or objection is truly insurmountable. So when Grey knows exactly what he wants, Charlotte is lucky enough to get what she deserves.
A nice, easy, enjoyable read, full of rich, gorgeous people, with real life left far, far behind. Perfect for warming away the winter blues.

This book was the top pick in category romance in Australia for 2011.
What wasn't clear from the blurb was how funny the book is. The banter between the loopy heroine and the adventurous but rude hero is the true highlight of the book and a reason for anyone to read it. It's classy writing.
I was actually disappointed when the heroine finds out she's pregnant - it was such a fresh storyline up until then. Two academics, both globe-trotters (no small town romance here, thank goodness), both intelligent and quirky, thrown together, makes for an interesting premise.
I felt the last few of pages didn't deliver the heart-warming ending you look for in category romance - not that it was bad, it just didn't deliver the last emotional punch with power. With a slightly different end, it would be a 5-star book, even with the (yawn) pregnancy. But three pages in 180-odd can't be bad - shame it was the last three.
This book will make me actively seek out Kelly Hunter's other books for sure. Definitely a book to recommend to people who think category writing is staid and all the same.

(What's this?)
Set in Australia, to please a dying Godmother, a fiancee is invented. Subconsciously he's based on a scientist working in remote places around the world. A friend contacts the organisation he supposedly works for and this results in a meeting. Not a bad storyline, the wealth exists on her side, for a change, and the story does develop well.
