A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews
354 pages | Published by Perfectly Proper Press
The Set Up: After the death of her father, Laura is struggling to keep her family afloat as they wait for her brother to come of age and gain control of their finances. The only way to gain control sooner is to marry. When she meets Alex Archer, she knows he’s a fortune hunter set on marrying her friend, but can’t deny their instant connection. Alex is after property, in his quest to finally feel like he belongs. His plan to marry an heiress is going just as he planned, if only he could forget Laura and what he feels for her.
Another winner from Mimi Matthews, surprise surprise!! Cozy and swoony, it really doesn’t get better.
A Convenient Fiction had a distinct summery romance feel, and I loved the connection between Alex and Laura. I enjoyed watching Alex go from perceived villain to hero. This book also explored Laura’s changing relationship with her friend Henrietta, which was an interesting addition to the story.
I was so excited to finally get a reunion between Alex and his Parish Orphan friends, and to also figure out what had been going on with Laura’s horrible solicitor. I loved how Tom Finchley’s involvement weaved in and out of the situation.
