Army specialist Brody King is a successful and respected soldier. With only a year left in his commitment, he devises a plan to help him save money—a plan that requires him to marry.
Nick Ferguson is working toward college graduation and his community services management career. With his lease about to expire, he’s more than willing to take Brody up on his crazy marriage scheme.
A solution that seems quick and easy turns into more than either of them ever anticipated. When Brody’s fears and insecurities surface, he makes a decision that may push Nick away forever.
Can a fake marriage built upon friendship withstand the obstacles of an uncertain future?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh Brody and Nick…..these two are quite a pair. Brody is looking to make a little bit of extra money so he hatches a plan with his friend/ex FWB Roomie Nick to get married. They are going to live together as husband and husband just for a year. Sounds easy enough right?? OF COURSE NOT SILLY!!!
Brody is used to living a rigid existence in the military so when he is out of work he tends to be a little ADD. Nick is Mr. College Student. He is very organized and pretty smart but he is finding himself falling under the spell of charming Mr. King. When the two make some “boundaries” it all seems that their fake marriage will go off without a hitch. Then some of Brody’s military buddies catch wind of the scheme so the pair have to up their game and really “sell this marriage”.
Along the way Brody is realizing he is in love with Nick and that SCARES THE HECK OUTTA HIM!! Nick is falling more in love with Brody and he hopes that when Brody leaves him, he will be able to pick up and move on. Nick and Brody both lean on Ad who is their best friend. She helps Nick keep the faith in Brody and helps Brody open his eyes to what he has in front of him. Between Brody’s fear and Nick’s accident at work, the couple finally open up and tell their truths but it further freaks Brody out.
I loved loved loved loved the epilogue and really hope that Addie gets a book because she is an awesome chick.
A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children and a husband before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school.
Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading.
A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind.
A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.
