Synopsis from Goodreads:
The first book in a humorous contemporary romance series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Denise Grover Swank.
Megan Vandemeer meant to tell her parents about her broken engagement, but a month and a half later she finds herself boarding a plane home to her wedding. Having stretched avoidance to its limits, it's time to come clean--a terrifying prospect since her mother is sure to blame her rather than her cheating, emotionally frigid ex. A couple of drinks and two Dramamine later, Megan finds herself spilling her sob story to the tall, dark, and handsome stranger in the seat next to her.
With only one week left to save his business, Josh McMillan boards a plane to Kansas City in a last-ditch effort, leaving the details to chance. An unexpected answer is delivered in the form of the beautiful brunette beside him. Though she’s completely loopy, her honesty, openness, and humor charm him. So when she passes out before landing, he helps her off the plane--a good deed that leads to a colossal misunderstanding. Her parents assume he’s her fiancé. In a twist of fate, the mix-up might help Josh save his business, so he plays along, figuring he can help Megan too. All he has to do is stage a public break up convincing enough to appease her mother.
Josh is only supposed to be a substitute groom, but the more time he and Megan spend together, the more their pretend engagement starts to feel real…and the less they want to break it off. Can a relationship that began as a farce turn into happily ever after?

Can someone explain to me why I finished this book bawling like it was a Nicholas Sparks book?! I don't do that often (ever, really).
Six weeks ago, Megan and her no-good fiance, Jay, broke up. Instead of calling her mother crying, Megan simply never tells her about it. Meanwhile, her mother has been planning the most elaborate wedding ever. Megan's mother has completely controlled her for pretty much all of her life. In fact, Megan is pretty much scared of her.
On the flight home for the wedding, Megan is still trying to figure out how to tell her family about Jay. Meanwhile, the (extremely hot) man next to her on the flight is dealing with his own reasons for flying that direction. Through a weird twist of fate, Megan's family mistakes this man, Josh, for Megan's fiance. Josh decides to go along with it for a while to help Megan out and hopefully help save his business in the process.
I absolutely LOVED this book. I don't know why I did not read it earlier. While I have a soft spot in my heart for Rose, being my first DGS read...I won't lie, this may be my new favorite series. I hope the rest of the books are this good!
Josh and Megan's relationship cracks me up. They are both stubborn and witty. They play off each other wonderfully. He seems to be one of very few people that Megan is not afraid to stand up to and doesn't roll over for. I also really love Libby. I hope to know more about her story! But my favorite character...hands down, Gram. What a sassy lady.
HIGHLY recommend this book. I'm hopeful the rest of the series is just as wonderful.
