Needing Happily Ever After

What a sweet read. It’s not your typical fake fiancé story. Two best friends who love each other cannot figure out that they’re in love with each other. Katie and Damon have been inseparable since childhood. Damon wants his childhood home and a Katie wants to help him get it. Along the way, they tripped up and realized they were in love all along. My only criticism is the language so the book isn’t PG. I feel the same emphasis can be made without the use of those words. I guarantee you will love this story. It’s sweet and endearing.

I'm loving this series! This group of friends has me sucked in and I'm already counting down the days to the next one. Katie and Damon have been friends since forever and their path to becoming more was a story I really didn't want to put down. If I hadn't passed out reading, I would've finished this in one sitting. I can't wait for more of this series!

At the end of book one in the Ever After series, Katie drops a little bombshell that leads us to Needing Happily Ever After...she’s getting married! Imagine her family’s surprise, since they didn’t even know she was dating. And it’s to a man she’s known for years, her best friend Damon, but he doesn’t even live locally. How are these two longtime platonic pals going to pull this off? The premise of this story is a bit different, as the reason for this fake relationship is all because of a house. That’s definitely a new one for this reader. But as a fan of the faux engagement sub genre, I’m in. I liked Katie and Damon, but their newfound feelings for each other didn’t always ring true for me. It didn’t lessen my enjoyment of the book, but I was honestly more intrigued by the chemistry between Katie’s brother Logan and Faith, which I’m thinking might be the hottest book of the series! My four star rating is actually more for the wonderful writing of Elena Aitken, who’s books I always enjoy and definitely recommend to existing fan as well as new ones. Her storytelling is engaging and guarantees that I will not want to put the book down. So while every couple may not be my favorite, I’ve never been sorry I read their story.

The relationship between two life long friends, turns into more. Nothing about this story is easy, but in the end romance and friendship changes, the challenge is can it last, moving toward a HEA. Another special story. Don’t miss this one.

In Needing Happily Ever After, we get the story of Katie and Damon. They have been best friends for years and they always have each other’s backs. When Damon needs to be engaged, to get what he wants, the first person he calls is Katie. Of course, she goes along with his plans. What is going to happen during this beautifully written story? No spoilers so grab your copy and see why Damon needed a fiancée to begin with. I loved the angst that Elena Aitken threw in. I also loved catching up with the characters we meet in the previous book, Choosing Happily Ever After. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
