From the author of Somebody Like You, a RITA finalist, and one of Publishers Weekly’s top ten books of 2014, comes the story of a woman who has everything for a perfect wedding—except the groom!
Winning an all-expenses paid Colorado destination wedding might seem like a dream come true for some people—but Caron Hollister and her boyfriend Alex Madison aren’t even engaged. How is she supposed to tell him she’s won their wedding and honeymoon when he hasn’t asked her to marry him? Being “perfect for one another” seems like the absolute best reason to get married. But what if their supposedly faultless relationship is merely a safe place to protect his secrets and a way to keep their families happy? After quitting her job, Caron accepts her best friend’s offer to visit Colorado. She needs to catch her breath. Who knows, maybe visiting the destination wedding site will make a future with Alex seem like a reality.
Kade Webster just landed the biggest deal of his life with his company, Webster Select Realty, participating in the Colorado Springs Tour of Homes. He never imagined he would run into the woman who broke his heart—Caron Hollister—right when his career is taking off. Seeing her again, Kade can’t help but wonder why Caron walked away from him years ago, leaving him with no explanation. When Kade learns his home stager won’t be able to help with the Tour of Homes, he vaults past all the reasons he should stay away from Caron, and offers her a temporary job helping him on the project. This time, their relationship is purely business.
Spending time with Kade has Caron questioning everything. The man intrigues her—at times infuriates her—and reminds her of what she lost. Has she been settling for what everyone expects of her? Just because others believe she and Alex are an ideal couple, does that mean they should get married? And how can Caron say “I do” to one man when she’s wondering “what if?” about another?

My thoughts: ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE is a sweet romance. There are more than two points of view in this book, letting you know both Kade and Alex. Both are really sweet men, both were human with issues, and I rooted for both of them.
Caron got on my nerves sometimes. She acts immaturely at times, expecting entitlement for being her father's daughter and walking away from everything when she doesn't get her way. She does that frequently in the book, even after breaking the destination wedding news to Alex, she's all upset he wasn't willing to jump in with both feet when she herself was unsure about it. Instead of being settled, she acted flighty, but it did work when she needed to be in another state and just dropped everything and went.
I enjoyed reading this book. I'm pretty sure I've read Ms. Vogt's other books, but I will verify that. If I haven't, I want to read them. She is a fantastic contemporary romance writer.
I received a copy of this book free. All opinions are my own. Her other books are:
Wish You Were Here
You Made Me Love You
Catch a Falling Star
Somebody Like You
Can't Buy Me Love
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
You Can't Hurry Love
