After reading the previous two standalones by Erin McCarthy, and really loving them, I knew ‘Forty Days Fiancé’ was a book I wanted to read. So when I got approved to read an ARC I was super excited and started reading as soon as possible.

Admittedly, my first plan was a little crazy. I had forty days to execute it. Find a fake fiancé, move in with him, and convince the powers-that-be that we’re madly in love. Surely this British girl can sweet-talk a few American officials. Step One: the sexy, wealthy doctor I’ve been chatting up agrees to my plan--with a demand of his own. A baby. An actual ring. A for-real marriage and family. Turns out, there’s someone more bonkers than me. So Step Two: I now have forty days to convince my fake fiancé that we can’t be real. Because there’s no such thing as love at first sight--right?

In ‘Forty Days fiancé’ we meet Felicia Hobbs, a hardworking British woman who quit dating a while ago. Felicia is known for working her butt off.. so it isn’t really a surprise to find out she got so busy, she forgot to post the mail regarding her US work visa. And now she is to late and receives a mail telling her she will need to leave the country in forty days. When she meets the handsome, slightly older doctor Michael Kincaid she feels an instant connection with him. But now she has to leave the country.. or can she stay?

After reading the first two books, and loving them, I was really looking forward to reading this book. And I wasn’t disappointed. ‘Forty Days fiancé’ is right from the start a very funny, relaxing and romantic read. I enjoyed reading it from the moment I started, until the very end. Both main characters Felicia and Michael are fun to read about. They are very different, have two very different lives.. but somehow they have this connection right from the start. And I loved them.

There where several moments throughout this book that made me laugh out loud. And just as with the two previous books, I really enjoyed those moments between Felicia and her girlfriends too. Felicia is the third girl we get to read about in this group of friends, and although I don’t think she would be someone I would be friends with in real life.. I loved reading her story.

The romance between Felicia and Michael was definitely fun. It was rather instant, and I found certain parts about their story a little to fast. Especially near the end of the book I just felt like things where a little rushed and I would have liked to see their romance a little more developed.

But overall this book was yet another great one I really enjoyed reading. Erin McCarthy’s novels are definitely great ones to get lost in after a busy workday.
