Too Good to Be True




Too Good to Be True by Kristan Higgins

Summary:  How far would you go to get over a guy?

When Grace Emerson's ex-fiancé starts dating her younger sister, extreme measures are called for. To keep everyone from obsessing about her love life, Grace announces that she's seeing someone. Someone wonderful. Someone handsome. Someone completely made up. Who is this Mr. Right? Someone…exactly unlike her renegade neighbor Callahan O'Shea. Well, someone with his looks, maybe. His hot body. His knife-sharp sense of humor. His smarts and big heart.

Whoa. No. Callahan O'Shea is not her perfect man! Not with his unsavory past. So why does Mr. Wrong feel so…right?


Angie's Comments: I couldn’t figure out how Grace’s sister thought it was okay to date her sister’s ex-fiancé, no matter how much Grace said it was fine. At least Callahan O’Shea sees the oddness! I couldn’t warm up to Grace’s younger sister and her boyfriend, but I loved Grace, Callahan, and the rest of Grace’s family. Too Good to Be True is a quick, easy-going read. The characters all have strengths and flaws, and Grace seems like a normal person (except for the making up boyfriends thing). I liked her historical reenactment hobby. Callahan is a nice guy, except for the ex-con thing and his insistence on perfect honesty (which he hasn’t always practiced!).
