Synopsis
Lights, Camera, Lies.
Kerry Pickering has a problem. As a publicist for Hollywood bad boy Jericho Knox, it’s Kerry’s job to keep Jericho in the news. So far, Jericho’s partying and public escapades have made it easy. But Jericho has a secret, and when that secret is revealed in the most spectacularly disastrous way, it’s up to Kerry to spin it.
The team decides the best course of action is to make the public fall in love—with Jericho’s secret committed relationship. The one that doesn’t exist. Yet.
The team wants someone they can trust. Someone in the inner circle. That someone is Kerry. But what will happen when Kerry realizes that for him, the romance is no longer pretend? Can Jericho love him back, or is he just playing a role?

Review
Even when you know before you read the first page of a
book how it’s going to end, there is something just so comforting about reading
those tried and true tropes we all love so much. Marriage of Inconvenience by M.J. O’Shea is your classic bad boy
turned good boy along with a fake engagement that of course leads to true love.
I’m not spoiling anything by mentioning this because as everyone knows,
Dreamspinner Press’s Dreamspun Desires line is all about the HEA and how they
get there.
Knox Jericho is your typical Hollywood bad boy.
Attitude to spare, aloof, and condescending, Jericho hasn’t been in LA very
long, but he sure is as jaded as they come. Kerry Pickering might not be
setting the world on fire doing behind the scenes PR work, but that all changes
when Jericho gets caught in the most uncompromising of positions and it’s up to
Kerry and the PR firm he words for to rehabilitate Jericho’s less than stellar
image. And of course, what better way to do that than by being in a committed,
loving relationship? Thus begins Jericho’s and Kerry’s fake relationship … that
as we all can guess, isn’t quite so fake after all.
I like what M.J. did with this often used plot device.
Yeah, we’ve all seen this done time and time again, but Jericho and Kerry are
so engaging that you can’t help but fall in love with these two. It takes a bit
of time though seeing as how Jericho is such a jerk at the beginning, but once
Kerry gets through his walls, this was really sweet and cute. It’s nice not to
read a book filled with sex scene after sex scene, and I am much more of a fan
of flirting and tender and intimate moments that full on sex all the time. I
liked what M.J. did with both character’s families and the secondary characters
throughout the book added a great deal to the overall story.
This is light and low angst and though I felt that the
drama at the end was a bit much and made me roll my eyes a bit, it didn’t
really take away from my enjoyment of Marriage
of Inconvenience at all. This is a great book to escape into for a few
hours and you’ll wind up with a smile on your face at the end.
