After dealing with\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">my<\/span>\u00a0past, I&#8217;m more than happy to claim this Get Out of Kansas Free card. After spending a year in prison, staying married to a CEO for half of a year doesn&#8217;t seem too bad, now does it? Yeah, some weird things seem to happen in Rawr County and the people there aren&#8217;t exactly welcoming to outsiders, but it can&#8217;t be all bad&#8230;can it?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-italic\">Basil<\/span><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll do whatever it takes to improve my image at the company. Apparently, my shareholders don&#8217;t look too fondly on the fact that I&#8217;ve been something of a playboy in recent years. All that&#8217;s about to change, though, because I&#8217;m getting married. The moment I see Melinda, I know that she&#8217;s the one. My inner-lion knows, too. She&#8217;s not just the woman I&#8217;m going to marry for the sake of improving my personal image. She&#8217;s the one I&#8217;m going to marry because she&#8217;s my fated mate.<\/p>\n<p>Only, Melinda doesn&#8217;t know I&#8217;m a shifter, and she&#8217;s got a few secrets of her own. When an enemy from her past resurfaces in Rawr County, we&#8217;re going to have some hard decisions to make. We&#8217;re going to have to fight for what we believe in, and we&#8217;re going to have to fight for her safety. Luckily for Melinda, I love a good challenge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/58229407-the-lion-s-fake-wife?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=3PizEm9Qs5&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B08W3VHQHX&amp;asins=B08W3VHQHX&amp;linkId=b194391881ccc3744b956d4e7efa7158&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe>\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25377 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Angie<\/p>\n<p>I received this book form the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0book!!!\u00a0 EEEP.\u00a0 After I read The Dragon\u2019s Fake Fianc\u00e9e and loved it Sophie offered me more books if I wanted them.\u00a0 I screamed YEEESSSS!!\u00a0 Now this series is interconnected by the characters but can be read in any order.\u00a0 I mean I started with book 6 and am now reading backwards.\u00a0 You wont miss anything at all.\u00a0 The men are the main characters and we see them in each other books.<\/p>\n<p>I loved Basil in Cosmos book, so I wanted to start with his book first.\u00a0 Basil is a big wig CEO who also likes to party big.
