The Proposal Play by Lauren Blakely
4.25
lighthearted medium-paced

A beautiful friend to lovers with some heavy issues interspersed throughout. 

Asher and Maeve (plus her brother) met each other 10 years ago in a brief support group and have been best friends ever since. To save Asher from the clutches of a terrible woman at an auction, Maeve bets on him and wins a date to Vegas and comes back as Asher's wife. 

I love that their Vegas affair got out so they had to play up the marriage but it helped them realize they needed each other. The journey to get there is full of fun, spice and an obsession that is heartwarming. Asher really looked out for Maeve and when it became too much, he got the help he needed which was very important.
