Pretending to Wed by Melissa Jagears Book Summary

It’s a match made in heaven…as long as they don’t fall in love!

The ranch Nolan Key has spent decades working for, even lost a leg for, is now his—or at least it should be. But an absurd clause in his father’s will means he’s in danger of losing the place to his lazy, undeserving cousin. Nolan finds himself scrambling to save his home—by proposing marriage to the town laundress. 

Corinne Stillwater’s hands have betrayed her. Numb from hours of doing the same work over and over, her hands will only heal, according to the town doctor, if she gives up the laundry and marries. But she’s been stung repeatedly by love before, so that is one remedy she can’t swallow. 

When Nolan offers Corinne a marriage in name only, how can she refuse? Such a partnership could give them the security they seek, but what if the ranch isn't as secure as they believe, and their lives—and dreams—aren't quite as compatible as they thought?

Pretending to Wed is the second book in the Frontier Vows Series by award-winning Christian romance author Melissa Jagears. If you like marriage-of-convenience stories that deal with the nitty-gritty of making a relationship work, you’ll love this authentic romance set in a time gone by that tackles issues still relevant for today.

A marriage of convenience?. What if she unwittingly fell for him? Nothing good would come of that! This story will grab your attention and make sure you don’t quit reading until you have reached the end! Three months to marry or you lose the ranch - the last will and testament that makes one wonder about the sanity of the deceased father. A business arrangement perhaps....but can it really work? Nolan is not interested in marriage, but cannot get the will changed. Corinne, the local laundress, needs to find a way to earn a living that doesn’t use her hands. Marriage is not for her, but a mutually beneficial contract would work. Thus a marriage of convenience takes place, neither of them expecting the changes this decision will bring. Between laughing out loud and wanting the shake sense into them both, I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book. I particularly appreciated the research into patents and how they worked in 1884. It was most interesting to consider the difficulties and joy that came from a design that performed as the inventor envisioned it would. This ARC was received through Utmost Publishing, BookFunnel and CelebrateLit. The comments and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

Not disappointing!!!. After reading the first book in this series I couldn’t wait to read this one. Once again I was not disappointed. It was very hard to put it down once I started reading. I would highly recommend this book!!

Another fun read by Melissa Jagears.. In Pretending To Wed, Nolan’s late father’s will stipulates that he needs a wife if he wants to keep the ranch he has given his blood, sweat, tears, and even his leg to. Corrine has dreams of being an inventor but the pain in her hands make it hard to keep up with her job as a laundress, let alone find time and energy to work on her inventions. With a little prodding from well-meaning friends, they strike up a deal and get married to help each other out. This story struck home for me as I struggle with hand pain myself. I enjoyed reading about a couple with both physical and emotion weaknesses finding acceptance and love in each other. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Delightful Marriage of Convenience Novel. Pretending to Wed by Melissa Jagears is a delightful marriage-of-convenience story in the Frontier Vows series. I enjoyed the first book so much I was hoping the second book would be just as good and the author did not disappoint. Nolan Key and Corrine Stillwater are two people who have been stung by life, but are so deserving of a happily-ever-after. How their business partnership turns into a different kind of need for each other is certainly a novel worth reading. In addition to the hero and heroine, there is a very nasty cousin and his fiancée that made me want to “boo” and enough humor to make me laugh out loud. What I enjoy most about Melissa Jagears’ books are the way she seamlessly combines a sweet romance with a spiritual lesson. The characters’ conversations with God were a natural part of the story and not an add-in. Characters from the first book do appear in this book, but I believe this book could be read on its own. (But you may want to start with that first book because it was lovely as well). I highly recommend this book! I received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions are my own.

🥰. I’m enjoying this series greatly. Book 1 was one of my favorite books by Melissa but this one was really good too, I love stories of marriages of convenience and Melissa always has a great mix of faith and love and she always tells a great wholesome story, she is one of my favorite authors and once again she did not disappoint.

Terrific historical romance!. Pretending to Wed (Frontier Vows, Book 2), by Melissa Jagears, is a terrific historical fiction novel! Offering a refreshing story rooted in the marriage-of-convenience sub-genre, this book is compelling and unexpected. I was thoroughly invested in this novel after just a few paragraphs, because page after page, this well-written book successfully balances history, romance, faith, and intrigue, making the story utterly entertaining.    The characters in this novel are unconventional, authentic, and unforgettable. As they struggle with physical limitations, regrets, and emotional scars, they are wholly relatable. Even as they encounter various trials that test their faith and place their dreams in jeopardy, the gift of God’s grace brings hope, forgiveness, healing and restoration. As the characters learn to place the needs of others before their own, this novel moves beyond mere entertainment and into a space of true meaning, encouragement, and relevancy. Pretending to Wed is a thoughtful novel of new beginnings and new perspectives. It is a story of faith, trust, and embracing the unexpected. It is also a story of love and selflessness. From beginning to end, this novel is truly a pleasure to read. It is honest, tender, heartfelt, and ultimately uplifting. I sincerely recommend it. *I was given a copy of this book by the author/publisher. A review was not required. The review I have written contains opinions that are entirely my own.

Marriage of Convenience Leads to True Love. Corrine and Nolan start out their marriage with a business deal, and they both long to prove themselves worthy. Bodily limitations and past heartaches lead to insecurities, and the wicked intentions of family threaten their path to happiness. I really like the godly support, encouragement, and advice from steadfast friends that help them navigate along the way. All these elements combine to transform mutual respect into a true love that reflects God’s love for us all.

Sweet and Faith-Filled Story. I greatly enjoyed reading Corinne and Nolan’s sweet love story—and considering what it means to love and sacrifice for those we love. I would highly recommend this second installment of Melissa Jagears’ series. It is a quick, delightful read. And it’s always wonderful when past characters pop up in new books!

A new favorite from Melissa Jagears. I absolutely LOVED this one. The character development was beautifully executed. The backstories helped contribute toward a solid understanding of the characters' motivation. I thought the theme of redemption was written incredibly well. Nolan and Corinne's story kept me glued to the book for the entire ride. Although not part of the story, I really appreciated the truths and advice in the Author’s Note as well.

Wonderfully real. Corrine & Nolan are very realistic & relatable. The struggles & triumphs they have are portrayed in ways that completely pull the readers in & has us rooting for them & their relationship. Their story touches on subjects not typically shown in Christian fiction & does so in an appropriate & truthful way that shows the readers that life isn’t always sunshine & roses, but with faith & trust can still be joyful. The themes of faith, love, grace, & forgiveness were evident throughout the story. I look forward to reading more books by Melissa Jagears!
