Romance

Honor Holland loves working in her families wine business. At 35 this has always been her life. As her birthday approaches, she realizes that their has to be more to her life than just working. Honor wants a family. Honor's best friend is Brogan, not only is he her best friend, but one with benefits. Now she knows that it is time to take their friendship to a different level. Honor decides that she is going to pop the question to Brogan. They have known each other for ever and Honor knows that Brogan is who she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Brogan, doesn't feel the same way. He likes the way that their relationship is. Honor being completely heart broken turns to her best friend Dana. Honor is done with Brogan, and is going to move on with her life. Several weeks later, Honor gets a phone call from Brogan. He has something very important to tell her. Honor is thrilled thinking that Brogan has had a change of heart and wants them to get married. Talk about getting the shock of her life. Brogan and Dana are now together. Honor feels like she has been stabbed in the back by her two best friends. Honor throws a drink in Dana's face and a fight breaks out between the two of them. Tom Barlow is a college professor who is from England. Tom witnesses the fight and can't believe that two women are having a knock out fight in a tavern. Tom finds out the that college that he works for is not going to renew his visa. Tom wants to stay in the US as he has a sort of step son Charlie. Tom was engaged to Charlie's mother. However she is killed crossing the street. Tom tried to get custody of Charlie, but because they were not married he can't. His only option would be to get married to an American and get his green card. Could they be the perfect match? Kristan Higgins Blue Heron series is about the Holland family. They run a family owned winery. This is one of her series that I really enjoy. Each of the books in this series is about a different member of the family. There are several other characters in this Blue Heron series that I am hopeful she will write a book about. I can't wait as I am sure which ever character she writes about next will be as great as this book is. One of the many things that I really like about Kristan Higgins books is that I can relax and not worry about the things that are going on in my life and around me. I can forget my life and get engrossed in the life of her characters. The characters are believable, you can almost put someone in your life into the life of these characters. The main reason that I like her series, is that she brings back the other characters so that you can see what has become of the story line from a previous book.

SUMMARY

What if the perfect match is a perfect surprise? Honor Holland has just been unceremoniously rejected by her lifelong crush. And now—a mere three weeks later—Mr. Perfect is engaged to her best friend. But resilient, reliable Honor is going to pick herself up, dust herself off and get back out there…or she would if dating in Manningsport, New York, population 715, wasn't easier said than done. Charming, handsome British professor Tom Barlow just wants to do right by his unofficial stepson, Charlie, but his visa is about to expire. Now Tom must either get a green card or leave the States—and leave Charlie behind. In a moment of impulsiveness, Honor agrees to help Tom with a marriage of convenience—and make her ex jealous in the process. But juggling a fiancé, hiding out from her former best friend and managing her job at the family vineyard isn't easy. And as sparks start to fly between Honor and Tom, they might discover that their pretend relationship is far too perfect to be anything but true love….
