Amazon Reviews for Happy Fake Wife, Happy Fake Life:

“I just love Donna’s writing, it is so easy going and the laughs are never ending. The small town characters are unique and lovable.”

“I will rave about Donna Schwartze’s books to anyone who will listen—they are quick and easy reads, filled with a rollercoaster of emotions, and every one of her books makes you feel like you know each character personally and that you are witnessing every event unfold in front of you.”

“Happy Fake Wife, Happy Fake Life is full of hilariously witty moments, nail-biting edge of your seat moments, tear-jerkingly sad moments, and heart-melting aww worthy moments.”

“Donna creates these quirky, fun, memorable towns full of interesting characters that make you want to pack your bags and head there asap.”

“Anytime you combine enemies to lovers trope, a small town, a hottie ex-athlete and some spice, it’s going to be a 10/10 book! A quick read, be prepared to be sucked in til the very end!”

“I have to say….this book may be my new FAVORITE book. It kept me on the edge of my seat, brought me to tears, and made me laugh! This is definite MUST read!!”

“Want a romance with snappy dialogue, lovable side characters, a bit of steam, a hot Alpha, and a woman who gets the happy ending she thinks she can never have? You found it!”

“Donna’s ability to create a town and all of the people in it is truly unmatched. The characters she writes are so complex but so easy going.”

“Donna Schwartze’s writing is witty, intelligent, and believable! I am so in love with Nix, AJ, Hulk, and, well everyone in the book, except the bad guy of course! I have read all her books so far, and they are excellent.”

“This book is so funny, heartwarming and delightful. There is amazing banter, unexpected events and delightful locations. I was laughing, tearing up and loving these characters and their story.”

“This book has all the feels! A little bit of spice, drama, laugh out loud and a few tears (of happiness of course)! Donna has a way from the first paragraph of drawing you in. This book had me turning page after page, reading chapter after chapter until I was done! Her writing style with lots of character banter is the best! Nix and Emory are my new favorite characters and I was delighted characters we met in her previous series made a guest appearance!”

“The perfect combination of a fun rom com with a little spice, and a little action, with lovable and funny characters. I laughed out loud so many times and had all the feels!”

“I have honestly not read one book that compares to the funny banter that Donna creates between such a large group of people. It’s addicting and I love every single character. I laughed pretty much this entire book.”

“I have such a book hangover after reading this series. From Eight Years to Pretty Close to Perfect, I have grown to love these characters like family. I got so swept up in these books. They hit all my emotions. I giggled, laughed out loud, and cried many tears!” Amazon Review

My books are interconnected, standalone novels. You can read each one as a separate story with a complete happily-ever-after ending. However, if you read them in the suggested reading order, you will better appreciate surprise character appearances from past books. The characters from the different series are friends, neighbors, and family who keep popping up in each other’s lives. Read one. Read all. Enjoy.

The Trident Trilogy (Eight Years, The Only Reason, Wild Card)

Join fiercely independent CIA agent Millie Marsh as she navigates the treacherous roads that promise to uncover the secrets of her past. Headstrong Navy SEAL Mason Davis is assigned to help her along the way. From the beginning, they disagree on everything, but their constant clashes only stoke their undeniable chemistry. 

The Blitzen Bay Series (The Runaway Bride of Blitzen Bay, No One Wants That, Pretty Close to Perfect)

These romantic comedies take place in the charming, small town of Blitzen Bay. They feature tender alpha males pursuing strong women while dealing with the adorable meddling from the animated citizens of this idyllic mountain town.

The Grand Slam Series (Truth or Tequila, Raine Out, Leave It On The Field)

A spicy romantic comedy series featuring smoking hot alpha baseball players trying to land women who don’t find famous men attractive at all. 

“Binge this entire romance series. Do it. Dive in. Get lost in this world. It’s just a cozy, sexy, hilarious place to spend a few hours. If you’re like me, you’ll want to live in this world after you read these books. The characters are laugh out loud funny—sassy, strong women adored by powerful, protective men. Just an amazing series from start to finish.”
