The Husband Hoax by Saxon James
4.25
funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

Short, easy, and breezy. A cute story about a fake marriage with real feelings. Émile and Christian were adorable, but the real gem was the found family theme. I'm really excited to get into the other Bertha's/Lost Boys, especially with some Puckboy crossover action. If you want a low angst, short, fun read this is for you!

Christian really stole my heart, but I'm a sucker for clumsy, awkward main characters. He was just so sweet and Émile was so perfect for him. Émile by himself was okay, but I loved how he just accepted Christian and loved all his little quirks. His only goal was loving Christian the best he could and that's exactly what Christian needs! 

I loved the found family vibes. It's probably why I enjoyed Christian's POV more, I was able to experience all the Big Boned Bertha shenanigans and there were many. A super fun group I'm already in love with! 

Overall the story was pretty light. Light angst, light spice, nothing too crazy. I love Saxon James, but this was definitely a fluffier read than I'm used to from her. Can't wait for the next one and the Puckboy book with one of these guys!
