The Pretend Christmas Fiancé is a Christian， heartwarming， inspirational， fake engagement romance。 Ms。 Hart writes the best characters。 I am so glad that Raine got his HEA！ This well written book was a joy to read and the ending is just fabulous！ Once I started reading， I could not put it down。 I love South Port Beach。 The recurring characters feel like family。 I highly recommend not just this book， but all the books set in South Port Beach。

This is a wonderful story based around Christmas and the fun activities that happen with family and friends and I really enjoyed the story。 So fun to see how Raine found his happily ever after， Sarah was having a hard time moving on from the loss of her husband。 But then needed a fake finance and asked Raine after he had asked her out several times and she told him no。 I enjoyed reading how their relationship progressed and the trials they went through。 I loved how they realized that God is impo This is a wonderful story based around Christmas and the fun activities that happen with family and friends and I really enjoyed the story。 So fun to see how Raine found his happily ever after， Sarah was having a hard time moving on from the loss of her husband。 But then needed a fake finance and asked Raine after he had asked her out several times and she told him no。 I enjoyed reading how their relationship progressed and the trials they went through。 I loved how they realized that God is important in our lives。 Another wonderful book by Taylor Hart 。。。more

I love Raine and am so glad he has found his happily ever after。 Raine and Sarah have a different kind of love story。 Seeing her ask for forgiveness as well as extending it to John made me like her better。 Loved seeing characters from South Port Beach rally around all Raine， Sarah， and John made me smile。 Loved the ending。

Sarah has a strange relationship with her dead husband。 People in South Port Beach think she is odd because of it。 But she needs a fiance to protect her from her ex-husband's brother。 Raine's sisters-in-law are a help， also， when they learn of Sarah's situation。 I enjoyed this excellent， different take on a love story。 I received a copy through Bookfunnel。 This is my voluntary opinion。 Sarah has a strange relationship with her dead husband。 People in South Port Beach think she is odd because of it。 But she needs a fiance to protect her from her ex-husband's brother。 Raine's sisters-in-law are a help， also， when they learn of Sarah's situation。 I enjoyed this excellent， different take on a love story。 I received a copy through Bookfunnel。 This is my voluntary opinion。 。。。more

Raine and Sarah’s story is so beautiful。 Theirs is a story filled with God’s love， acceptance of the past and others as He sees us。 Sarah， John and Raine have each been through so much and need to learn forgiveness。 This story and all the characters held my interest throughout and was very enjoyable。I just love South Port Beach。I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary， honest review。

tI really liked Raine in Matt and Lucy's story and I'm happy that he got his own story。 I love the fact that Raine immediately said no when Sarah asked him to be her fake fiance because it showed he was sincere about making a change in his life。 I hurt for Sarah who was struggling so hard after the death of her husband。 And I loved the fact that Truman showed up ever so briefly for his "brother's" wedding。 tI really liked Raine in Matt and Lucy's story and I'm happy that he got his own story。 I love the fact that Raine immediately said no when Sarah asked him to be her fake fiance because it showed he was sincere about making a change in his life。 I hurt for Sarah who was struggling so hard after the death of her husband。 And I loved the fact that Truman showed up ever so briefly for his "brother's" wedding。 。。。more

I had an ARC for this book， but this is my voluntary and honest opinion。 Raine Birch is surprised when widow Sarah Snow asks him to be her fake fiancé for Christmas。 At first he says no， but Pastor Henry tells him he might be of service to her by doing it。 She is interested in deflecting her brother-in-law’s advances and wants to keep him as a friend。 Taylor Hart has written an great addition to this series with Raine’s story。 A heartwarming for sure！

I love the South Port Beach series and the Beach Crew。 Even though Raine and Sarah are both new to South Port， the Beach Crew embraces them separately with love and friendship。 When Sarah's deceased husbands brother shows up in South Port Beach wanting a second chance at love， Sarah can't handle the thought of hurting him again and tells him she is engaged。 She goes to Raine but he has recently turned his life around from being a con artist and hates the idea of lying again。 But Pastor Henry has I love the South Port Beach series and the Beach Crew。 Even though Raine and Sarah are both new to South Port， the Beach Crew embraces them separately with love and friendship。 When Sarah's deceased husbands brother shows up in South Port Beach wanting a second chance at love， Sarah can't handle the thought of hurting him again and tells him she is engaged。 She goes to Raine but he has recently turned his life around from being a con artist and hates the idea of lying again。 But Pastor Henry has words of wisdom and a fun fake engagement begins with some twists and turns。 。。。more

Raine and Sarah steal the show！ And that is saying A LOT because I fell in love with the Stone family， the entire Beach Crew， and the whole South Port Beach town all the way back in book 1。 And my enjoyment of all of the romances， the characters， the ongoing mystery plot， everything that made up the series has only grown with each story。 I was so excited that Raine would get his own HEA that it is downright amazing that The Pretend Christmas Fiancé could come remotely close to living up to my ex Raine and Sarah steal the show！ And that is saying A LOT because I fell in love with the Stone family， the entire Beach Crew， and the whole South Port Beach town all the way back in book 1。 And my enjoyment of all of the romances， the characters， the ongoing mystery plot， everything that made up the series has only grown with each story。 I was so excited that Raine would get his own HEA that it is downright amazing that The Pretend Christmas Fiancé could come remotely close to living up to my expectations。 However， Taylor Hart has once again totally exceeded my extremely high expectations。 By the way， have a box of tissues handy-this is one of those books that steals your heart and takes it on a journey through sorrows， heartbreak， anger， forgiveness， and love。 And with the Beach Crew involved， you KNOW that there will also be shenanigans and humor！ This is another book where we are shown how God has "taken the ashes and made everything beautiful"。 。。。more

I am so glad Raine got his HEA。 I really loved his character in Lucy's story and hoped we'd soon see him wed。 It was fun having the combination of South Port and Snow Valley in this book。 Sarah was a sweetheart and I'm glad she could heal and find love again。 This was a sweet and wonderful Christmas romance。 I am so glad Raine got his HEA。 I really loved his character in Lucy's story and hoped we'd soon see him wed。 It was fun having the combination of South Port and Snow Valley in this book。 Sarah was a sweetheart and I'm glad she could heal and find love again。 This was a sweet and wonderful Christmas romance。 。。。more

I met Raine in Matt and Lucy’s book and was rooting for him， but things turned out the way they were supposed to， and now he gets his own story。 Sarah turned him down once， but when she needed a friend he steps up and they get the chance to get to know each other。 A great story about second chances。

Raine and Sara I loved that Raine got his happily ever after。 I love the fake engagement and how the whole town got behind it。 This book was a bit different from the others in the series， there was no mention really of the search for the gold， no real suspense and I felt like the issue with John came to an anticlimactic resolution。 But that said， I did enjoy the book and it is a quick and feel good read。 Clean and no cliff hangers， which is always a good thing。

This was a lovely romance that I soared through。 I never expected our South Port series to get so many new characters。 Some different things about at times， but this was an engaging read that I didn’t put down。I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。

Raine’s story definitely was very fitting for his new life。 Raine and Sarah’s story starts out unconventional yet perfectly planned by God。 Their story gives hope for anyone who is looking to start a new life。 Sarah finds herself struggling after her husband’s death and was not even close to looking for the blessings God had for her。
