Jasper Vale by Devney Perry

The Edens Series #4

Eloise Eden’s pride and joy is her family’s hotel in Quincy, Montana. Her lifelong dream is to own The Eloise Inn. All she has to do is prove to her parents that she’s the epitome of responsible. That her days of being duped and making reckless decisions are history. She’s so close she can taste it.

Until after one weekend in Las Vegas, she comes home married to a stranger.

Jasper must have put her under a spell with those soul-deep eyes because after a single night together, they woke up husband and wife. Her only hope is to keep this marriage a secret until it’s annulled. Then she’ll pretend it never happened.

Except Jasper begs her to stay married. To fake it for three months so she can accompany him to a wedding. Maybe she’s lost her mind to agree. But her brooding husband seems desperate. It’s only three months, right? Then she’ll say goodbye to Jasper Vale, and with any luck, hello to her new hotel.

Devney Perry is one of my all-time favorite authors. I was so happy to return to the Eden’s. Jasper Vale started out with a bang, if you know what I mean (insert winky face). It slowed down a bit after a fun night in Vegas. Then it sped up a little bit again until the story was full on for Eloise and Jasper. I loved how Jasper stood up for Eloise, even against her own family that might not have been thrilled with all the events happening. His “that’s my wife” statement was the biggest swoon factor for me! It’s a strong man that will stand up for his wife against her own family… he definitely checked a mark I didn’t even know I had!

Perry’s writing is amazing. She pulls me into this story and I was eager to finish. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t thrilled with the other woman bit that was added in the second half of the book but I get why it was added. I always love when Perry gives us a series and we get to check back in with previous members of the family. It really kept me eagerly reading. Jasper had me by my heart strings. His back story was unexpected and a learned quite a bit about him. Eloise was a strong woman but she cared so much what other’s thought of her… ok, she cared way too much about it. Jasper didn’t seem to care at all. These two were fabulous together! I can’t wait to see what Crimson Tide brings us next.
