This was a cute story, with some enjoyable characters. Stephanie is a great heroine and I loved her feistiness and humor. She was a fantastic match to Miles, who is a little rough around the edges while he figures out what exactly he wants.
The setting of a smaller town in Michigan was a lot of fun and I really loved how it was described and how it worked with the story. This was my first Checkerberry Inn book, and first Kyra Jacobs book, and I adored every page.
There wasn't all that much "fake dating" in this, despite the title and the fact that Miles and Stephanie are fake-"engaged." There was, however, history between these two that helped to flesh out their story and really make you root for them to finally get it together.
All in all, a sweet and sexy story that was a very quick read!

ARC Review: Her Unexpected Engagement (Checkerberry Inn) by Kyra Jacobs
I love stories that have a small town vibe to them. The sense of family, the beautiful surroundings all appeal to me because I live in more of the big city where things are more fast paced. Kyra Jacobs caught my attention even more with the setting Michigan. I have lived in Michigan all of my life, so it was nice to see it get a shout out. Her Unexpected Engagement is the story of a woman taking back her life after an epic betrayal. Betrayed by her husband, hounded by the media and needed a fresh start, Stephanie heads home for a breather and ends up finding her destiny. Small town living, close knit family and the chance to see my state through new eyes. How could I not enjoy this novel.

It's a sweet contemporary romance novel where two friends find a happily ever after. This is the type of book that will put a smile on your face. There are enough heartwarming moments to make anyone happy. The chemistry between Miles and Stephanie is amazing and it feels that they fit together. What took them so long to realize it is anyone's guess. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this beautifully written "friends to lovers" romance and would recommend it to my fellow readers.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.

This book was incredibly light and sweet. No real drama or angst other than the fact that the h's ex cheated on her on national television (very embarrassing). Aside from that, everything was smooth sailing. Both Stephanie and Miles fought their growing attraction and intense connection, but ultimately failed. This is the story of two besties, who didn't see or speak to each other for 10 years, who reconnect and find love with one another. Finally. Easy Peasy!
