A forbidden crush turns into a happily ever after.

Cara O’Neal has had a crush on actor Brody Simmons since high school, but she kept it to herself because he was dating her twin sister, Caitlin. They were Hollywood’s hottest couple. But, one night when Brody shows up at Cara’s apartment asking a favor of her, Cara learns the romance between Brody and Caitlin fizzled out a long time ago. They have just been pretending to date because of a movie series that they star in together. Now, Brody needs Cara to pretend to be his fiancé to cover for a lie Caitlin told the press. Caitlin said Brody has been seeing her sister and they are engaged. Cara soon finds herself playing the role of a lifetime, even though she isn’t an actress. The end result leaves Cara and Brody with the happily ever after they deserve.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I really got caught up in the story. I felt bad for Cara and Brody who got caught up in her Caitlin’s. But, I was glad they ended up together. They were good for each other.

I really enjoyed reading this book!
It is an engaging & emotional story.

She needed to live her own life, away
from her movie star, twin sister.
Cara, is awoken by her best friend,
& movie star, Brody. He is the love
of her sister, Caitlyn's life.
Brody, needs Cara's help. Once again
her sister has gotten them all into
a mess. Cara, had been in love with

Because of the scandal created,
Brody asked Cara, to pretend to be engaged, till after her sister's new movie opens.

Cara O’Neal will do just about anything for her twin sister Cait and their longtime friend Brody. Even pretend to be engaged to Brody, her childhood crush. But the bonds that hold the three of them together are in danger of being severed forever because of Cait’s lies and manipulations.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I laughed, cried, and wanted to punch the evil twin. Oh what a web we weave, when we practice to deceive. What started as a little lie to help her sister, ended up causing Cara’s life to implode. The emotional distress she suffered felt real. Watching love dawn on Brody was very touching. The scenes and event coordinators at the wedding venue were great and the security team was wonderful. Wonderful read!1 Jane687 10

Frustrating!, LOL!! I loved Cara and Brody’s story! It was frustrating because I wanted someone to stand up to Caitlyn so bad every time she pulled something. But, I also got a kick out of the friendship Cara and Brody shared! This story was sweet and heartwarming and a beautiful HEA!!

I totally enjoyed reading Cara and Brody’s sweet story in A Little Bit Engaged, a heartwarming, sweet romance by Melissa McClone, book three in her One Night to Forever series. Cara and Brody were best friends since childhood and you couldn’t help liking these two genuine characters. Cara was an out of work librarian currently working at a book store while Brody was making his mark acting in Hollywood. Cara’s twin sister Caitlin, an actress yet major drama queen, set-up Brody and Cara suggesting they were engaged, all behind her back, while she was trying to save her career and get people out to her latest movie. I struggled with Caitlin and how horrible she treated both Cara and Brody. She basically turned the world against Cara, destroying her career and life. In fact, their parents actually believed Caitlin, not even giving Cara a chance to explain what was happening. I’m glad Cara and Brody were able to savage their friendship and build a relationship on their attraction. It was nice to see a fake engagement that truly worked out for them.

Ms. McClone wrote a wonderfully sweet and moving story that is not to be missed. This story contains fun dialogue, endearing and able characters and the magic of love. I highly recommend A Little Bit Engaged to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

An excellent book, sweet and fun!

Cara. Sweet, caring Cara is one of life’s givers. Quiet, sensitive, understanding, bookloving, and always there for the people she loves. She has been in love with Brody all her life, but he’s with her very different twin sister. Cara has always played second fiddle to her twin sister, and she doesn’t mind, really. Growing up, Caitlin had been the puppet master with Brody and Cara as her marionettes. That had only worsened as they got older because they both wanted to make sure Caitlin’s anxiety didn’t send her off the deep end again. But now her twin is asking a lot of her. A lot. And this plan could be really bad for Cara’s reputation.

Caitlin, Cara’s twin sister, is one of life’s takers. A diva. She uses everyone around her to get what she wants. This new plan goes far. Very far. Lies and deceit all around.

Brody. Where does the actor end and the real man begin?

Oh it was such a sweet tale! Fairy-taley! Dual POV between Brody and Cara. I loved Cara’s POV the best, because I could relate to her so much! Oh, how I felt for her!!! An excellent book. So much fun to read about! I just looooved it! favorites Cheryl1,658 18

Melissa McClone again knocks it out of the park with this lovely story of love, loyalty and friendship, which can sometimes go astray. Cara O’Neal will do just about anything for her twin sister Cait and their longtime friend Brody. Even pretend to be engaged to Brody, her childhood crush. But the bonds that hold the three of them together are in danger of being severed forever because of Cait’s lies and manipulations.
I so loved Cara and her sweet disposition, even while wanting her to stiffen her spine and call out those who are hurting her. Brody is caring and gallant, perhaps a tad too naive and self involved in protecting his “brand” and Cait...who deserves NO protection. I very much enjoyed the seemless dialogue and the interesting twists and turns to the story...it kept me turning pages, even while cursing the treatment of Cara by the people closest to her. Cara is definitely a heroine to root for!
Another fabulous read from Ms. McClone in a very sharply written and interesting series. Great 5 star sweet romance! Lisa970 21

Cara, her gorgeous sister Caitlin, and Brody were childhood friends. Cara had been crushing on Brody for years. Caitlin and Brody became a-lister movie stars together and became a couple. Caitlin is a drama queen in more than just the movies. Brody and Cara had gotten her out of mess after mess. They agree to be fake engaged to help her this one last time. Cara and Brody were very likable characters. I loved Brody's deep concern for how Cara was being hurt because of this fake engagement. One of my favorite characters besides the main couple was Loki, Cara's cat. The plot had twists and turns and moved at a good pace. There are some scorching hot kisses, but nothing more. There's a great HEA. I hope to read more of Melissa McClone's books. I'd recommend this to sweet, clean, and wholesome romance readers. I received an ARC. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this great romance.clean-romance Shari1,708 19

Loved this story!! What Cara doesn't do for her twin sister, if it even means having a fake engagement with her high school crush, Brody. Cara's twin sister, Caitlyn and Brody have always been an item in Hollywood, so Cara is a little confused.Soon one lie turns into more lies with the fake engagement and Brody soon begins to rethink his future.

This was a heartwarming clean romance that will have you laughing, crying and rooting for Cara. How I disd Caitlyn, to treat her sister she did.

This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. The perfect afternoon read. 2019-arc-reviewed 2019-ebook 2019-read Isha Coleman7,636 154

There's a smile hidden inside of every Melissa McClone novel. Behind all the crazy happenings and the clueless characters is a heartwarming story that delivers valuable lessons on life and love. A Little Bit Engaged makes complicated, simply irresistible and wildly entertaining. Brody and Cara find themselves in over their heads when a scandal disrupts their lives. Can these old friends keep their sanity while protecting their emotions from the fallout? As long as she writes, McClone will continue to be a one-click for me.first-reads Diana132 1 follower

A Little Bit Engaged by Melissa McClone
Cara O’Neal and Brody Simmons, are the main characters. Cara and Brody grew up together and Cara has always loved Brody. He is now an actor and has recently broke up with her sister. They play a fake wedding to take the spotlight off of her sister but her sister keeps feeding the press lies, Cara and Brody finally realized that they loved one another and that that wanted a HEA.
This book was a really enjoyable read. I recommend to anyone looking for a good book. Marie Bourgery2,936 10

Cara and Brody were manipulated by her movie star sister Caitlin into a fake engagement. But Caitlin’s lies didn’t end there as she smeared Cara’s character repeatedly to her public including claiming she stole Brody from her and got pregnant. She even tries to hijack their wedding. I wonder how much of that really was her PR team and how much was Caitlin’s selfish need to get what she wants and be the center of attention. The only good that came from her actions was that Cara and Brody realized their feelings for each other. Lori R2,248 19

A great romantic story full of surprises, heartache, paparazzi, lies, deceit, best friends, and true love. Melissa McClone knows how to write a story that immediately touches your emotions and draws you right into the characters and the story. I could not put the book down and I felt so sorry for Cara O'Neal and what her twin put her through to further her career. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review. Pamela Mitchell1,588 12

This can't-put-down friends to lovers romance is so beautifully written I felt I was in San Francisco sharing the touching and emotional story with Cara and Brody as they went through manipulation by her drama queen twin including lies, deceit, paparazzi, surprises and so much more.

Ms. McClone has given us another winner and I can hardly wait for book four in her must-read One Night to Forever series. MaryElizabeth133

Great book and full of drama. You never know what Cara's sister is going to do or say next. Cara and Caitlin are twin sisters. Caitlin is a beautiful and talented actress and Cara is the girl next door and a librarian. She has always lived in her sisters shadow and would do anything for Caitlin. Including being forced into a fake engagement with their best friend and Cara's crush Brody.

I couldn't put this book down once I started. Kris75

DNF 32%
Almost an entire first third of the book felt dedicated to exposition, desperately attempting to convince the reader why the fake fiancé/fiancée trope must exist in this book. I couldn't get past the drama. No chemistry whatsoever between the h and H and it is repeated several times that they grew up together. I don't understand why this is so highly rated and even more than the first book.dnf Paula2,041 26

I loved Cara, grew to Brody, and still can't stand Caitlin. Cara IMO really went above and beyond being a good sister and friend when she agreed to a fake engagement to Brody. Loved their love story - friends to forever is one of my favorite story lines. Her parents made me angry - I have twin daughters and I can't imagine treating my daughters that way. Loved the ending but thought she forgave too soon. Her drama filled, self centered twin Caitlin IMO go off way to easy. Sandra Hartzel1,064 8

I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Cara O’Neal is dragged into a PR nightmare by her twin sister and her former crush A-list actor Brody Simmons. Their fake engagement leads to her losing her friends, her job, and her home. An interesting look at personalities and the world of actors. Patricia607

Forced

Forced to be her twins scapegoat along with their childhood friend Brody. They friend excerpt what they have been looking for in each other.
I highly recommend this book and series! Elton Stilwell62

Make believe becomes real

Another sweet romance by this author, a bit a of tear jerker, but a very nIce conclusion to a love between two child good friends who finally realized who they had wanted all along. Marie371

Superstar’s publicity stunt goes awry and drags down her twin and their best friend. There is sadness, envy, pleading, friendship, laughter, love and happily ever after within these pages.

I didn't this book

The sister was over the top and for the MC s just to go along with everything and to use anxiety in such a way just didn't enjoy Eliana Stellet 1,962 23
