A little white lie. A little white wedding. A pair of roommates in over their heads.

Days before she's set to move across the country and start a prestigious graduate program, a con artist leaves Emmy with no where to live and less than zero dollars in her bank account. But her day doesn't seem quite so bad compared to Beckett's--his fiancée called off their wedding just days before they tie the knot. Now he's single and ineligible for his place in married student housing.

So what are a girl without a home and a guy without a wife supposed to do? A quickie wedding in Vegas will solve both their problems. It's a business arrangement, and no one even needs to know. They'll just get an annulment in a few months. What could go wrong?

Only Beckett forgot to mention his new apartment is a one-bedroom. And neither of them counted on their new friends at Middlesex University thinking they're a great couple.

The platonic newlywed game might be harder to play than Emmy thought. Especially when it starts to feel less than platonic.

I Temporarily Do is a Stand-Alone Romantic Comedy

Review

I Temporarily Do was a fun and short marriage of convenience story. Truthfully, I was expecting something else when I started to read. But I quickly shred my expectations and went along for the ride. And ultimately had a great time.

Beckett and Emmy had been friends for a long time, and at times it did feel awkward, and the chemistry wasn’t off the charts. It does progressively get better once they are focused to share a tiny space. And they start to have these romantic moments. One of my favorite moments was when they first moved into the apartment and discovered that there was no furniture. So, they had to go shopping together at Wal-Mart to get what they need. That is one of the few moments that stayed with me days after reading this book, and I vividly remember thinking—I think all marriage of convenience books need a scene of that nature.

Final Thoughts

I Temporarily Do is a story for those who enjoy friends to lovers and marriage of convenience books. At time, the characters don’t shine nor does the chemistry, but it does have its fun memorable moments.
