Fake Wife by Stacey Lynn

Teagan has just had her job cut due to budget cuts. And, in true trope fashion, she arrives home to find her fiance, the man she's been with for seven years, in bed with another woman. Packing up her life into her Prius, she is trying not to make the day even worse when she rear ends a car. An expensive car. An expensive car carrying three years in a row Sexiest Bachelor Corbin Lane. But she is confused that he doesn't seem very upset, instead, he has a proposition.
Corbin is still mourning the loss of his grandmother and reeling from her will dictating that he must marry within six months and be married for at least two years. Teagan seems like as good a choice as any, plus she's there, she's gorgeous, and she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. So they make their plans, but like most plans of mice and men, these certainly go aglee when they realize that their attraction is inconveniently getting in the way of their rational business plan.
This story got an extra star because the Big Mistake was recognized by both and they worked quickly to rectify it.

Weekend Fling by Stacey Lynn

Willow is not having a great life at the moment; she needs an escape from having to work two jobs to support her mother who is depressed after Willow's dad walked out for seemingly no reason. When Trey, a tech-guy who comes into her coffee job and has flirted with her before, asks her to be his date to his best friend's wedding, she agrees. A weekend away, maybe a hot fling with a hot guy will make her life look a little bit happier.
Trey is ecstatic. He has been crushing hard on this woman and the more time he spends with her, the more he is interested in being with her for longer than the weekend. But real life intrudes and it will be how Willow and Trey deal with it will determine whether their relationship will survive.
This book is part of a series and I had not read any of the others nor anything else by Lynn before. I liked that she wrote about real-world problems (mental illness, having to confront your childhood through a different lens, etc.) but somehow it didn't quite hold my attention - something about the pacing and I also didn't really like Willow in the beginning. However, I finished the book and have since gone back and discovered that my library has the first 2 books since you could sort of tell which characters had been an earlier part of the series. I really liked the first and am looking forward to the second.
