Synopsis

There were Bridgertons before the eight alphabetically named siblings. In this second of the Bridgerton prequel series, following Because of Miss Bridgerton, we go back to where it all began. . . from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn.While you were sleeping...With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie...I told everyone I was your wife...When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out three months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England.If only it were true...Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself—completely—to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby.

This came highly recommended but I wasn't quite as in love with it as I hoped. In fact, out of all the Rokesbys books, this was my least favorite. In general, though, I've enjoyed this series of prequel Bridgerton books far more than the actual Bridgeton books. The gist is that our heroine, Cecilia, c......more

3.5 When life gets crazy (especially at work), I gravitate to books that simply guarantee me a happy ending. This delivered what is always promised!! And while it was more telling than showing, I loved the fake strangers marriage scheme. (Okay, Edward was a tad swoon worthy as well). Thanks, Ms. Quin......more

Good gosh this book. THIS BOOK. I had a really lovely experience with it, and I can’t tell you how much I ended up loving The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband. It’s poignant, emotional, and heartbreaking in its utter gorgeousness. I’m not up to date with all of Julia Quinn’s books, but for me, thi......more

Goodreads review by Mei on June 06, 2017

While the mystery part about the spying wwas lame for me, I liked both the hero and the heroine. A little bit more the hero, though! :) The heroine kept her lies too long, IMHO. She berates herself about that too, but she still find a 1000 excuses to not tell the truth until the very end! But she was......more
