Book Review: The Pretend Billionaire Groom (Part 1) By Sierra A. Rose

     Rose has always fought her father's ideas of who she should become. Rather than following in his footsteps and becoming a lawyer she has became a beloved small-town veterinarian. Her father hated it so much that he had stopped helping her with her tuition costs and had glared at her from across the road silently judging her. He had never stopping imposing his will upon her, even from the grave. Yes, Rose's father was now dead. But, the old man had left something to her in his will. Maybe, just a little more than something. He left her everything. Under the circumstance that she gets married by her 27th birthday. Which is in a week.
      Once the initial shock wore off she and her best friend concocted a grand scheme. They would get married to each other. Rose loved Tommy and Tommy loved Rose. It would never be in the forever and always kind of way, but they were best friends. Being married for one year would be nothing! Except now Tommy's long lost brother, Dylan is joining them on this road trip to Vegas in order to be their best man. And too bad Dylan can't keep his eyes off Rose, whose childhood crush on the man doesn't seem to have faded with time.
     This is a fun, light-hearted story that leaves you wanting part 2! Currently, I have not read part two, but as always I will find time eventually. Hopefully. From the beginning I secretly hoped that it would be one of those stories where it turns out that the best friends fall in love with each other eventually, and that still could happen. But, I don't want to give anything away for our feisty little group.
   Rose is sassy and vibrant. She has a mane of curls and is breath-takingly gorgeous. Not that she really sees that. She judges herself based on the ease with which she can get in bed with a guy. Her words, not mine. That being said, she has left a string of broken hearts behind her. I love that she is getting back at her dad, and that her lawyer is even going to play along.
     Tommy is a true good-ole boy. He was raised by his Southern Comfort Momma in the little Tennessee town where he and his brother used to wreck havoc with his two best girls. The group, sans Dylan, still ran the town. Tommy was a genius and looked like a model, but he had a care-free spirit. Currently, he was actually trying to train a goat to open the door and be a butler. Good thing his best friend is a vet...
     Dylan left town shortly after graduating high school, attended business school, and is now a hot shot in New York. I know they told us what he did, but I am a little fuzzy on the details. I think our friend's spiked lemonade may have gotten to me, as the reader. He hasn't been home in 7 years, but now his brother has called him out of the blue, leaving a message saying he is getting married. The next morning he arrives to find his Rosie at he and his brother's house. And she is marrying his brother. Well, at least he can be the best man and witness to the pair's newest hair-brained scheme...
