This ends or circles the 4 first wives stories. I didn’ like it as much as the 2nd and the 3rd but it grew on me by the half of the book. Shannon and Victor didn’t begin well. He appeared like an asshole and it took too long to switch the other way around.
Eventually the romance turned more like Catherine Bybee and I could view him on a better day.
Having the 3 other couples kicking in the party helped a lot but there were parts that could have been shortened.
Now I’m waiting for Sasha’s story.

Another reliable good read by Catherine Bybee. I love this series about a set of extremely rich friends and their loves, taking each one in turn. The latest instalment does not disappoint. It is an original storyline, based round Shannon but we also read how the others are doing. This is not the first series ivy Catherine Bybee that I have read and I certainly hope it will not be the last.

Shannon Wenworth seemingly has it all. Divorcee with more money than she needs, a successful career, wonderful friends, but she wants more. With her biological clock ticking, Shannon has decided it’s time for the next phase in her life and is ready to have a child. With a trip to Mexico, where she is to take the wedding photos, she is determined to find the perfect man to father her child. But when Shannon meets the jerk of a groom, she can’t seem to get him out of her mind.
Another five star read from one of my favorite authors!

This is the fourth book in this series and it does help to have read the previous books as a basis for the dynamics between the characters. That said, Ms. Bybee continues to be one of the best authors in contemporary romance. I would definitely recommend this series. I received an e-book (Uncorrected Proof) from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

Catherine Bybee always manages to WOW me!!! I adore the First Wives series and I was thrilled to get my hands on Shannon’s book, Faking Forever!

Shannon had been through the wringer with her previous marriage and hasn’t been lucky in love since (not that she’s put herself out there)! You know the saying “love finds you when you aren’t looking”—well that rings completely true in Shannon’s case! I think Catherine Bybee does a fantastic job with Shannon’s journey. As per usual with this series, I loved that this novel had a storyline with depth that also managed to make me laugh out loud (many times)! Simply put, this book is a 5 star gem that’s an absolute must read! I am keeping my fingers crossed Catherine Bybee will have many future installments in this fantastic series!

Cathering Bybee is hands down one of the best contemporary romance authors out there. I've read every one of her books and have never been disappointed. Her latest, Faking Forever (First Wives Book #4) features wedding photographer Shannon Wentworth and workaholic recycling mogul Victor Brooks. This is a well crafted story with likeable characters, a well thought out plot and loads of steam. A definite 5 star book.

Shannon Wentworth's story was amazing. From previous books I wondered if her story would lead her back to Paul, but oh no we get the sexy Victor Brooks as the sexy man for sweet Shannon.

Victor is jilted at the altar by his young fiancee and drowns his sorrows at the bar photographer Shannon happens to be at. She wasn't thrilled with groom Victor but soon finds that single Victor is sexy and not quiet as up tight as she first thought.

Victor is trying to learn to chill and enjoy life once it's off kilter. Shannon plays a major part in his new change and brings a new found love and zeal for life. Could that just because Shannon herself?

Once the sun drenched beaches days are done and the real world is back Shannon and Victor quickly realize they miss one another and being in each other's lives. With hurdles in their way, these two navigate their pasts and exes to find a way to be together.

I loved this story and the new light, strength in Shannon. Thanks NetGalley.

In this edition ByBee gives us Shannon Wentworth’s story. The former first lady of California is hired to photograph a wedding in Mexico for a petulant bride and an older groom – a groom Shannon thinks is more asshole than husband material.

When the brides pulls a Julia Roberts and bolts just at the wedding starts, Shannon finds herself in the company of the groom more than she wants, esp. since he thinks she somehow contributed to his bride pulling a runner.

But the more the two of them are together, the more they both realize maybe it was a good thing he didn’t marry his immature bride.

Told with the trademark ByBee wit and pacing, this book was a very fulfilling read. I’ve liked Shannon since the first book and hoped she’d find an HEA with a man who could truly give her what she deserves: total love and devotion.

Thank you to Netgalley and Montlake for a sneak peek at this story. 5 well deserved stars from me!

Faking Forever is my very first read from this author. I absolutely loved this story! This will not be my last book from this author. I enjoyed the writing so much that I devoured this book in one sitting. The characters were entertaining and had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed the back and forth banter between them and I absolutely loved that Shannon and Victor's relationship wasn't an instant love kind of romance. This read definitely had a few surprises in it, especially with Shannon's first marriage but the ending was worth everything. This story is the perfect one for readers looking for a fantastic, light, funny, steamy and heartwarming romance read. This one does not disappoint!
