Some love stories start after I dos, and mine was certainly one of them.
I was a damsel in distress and Zane Teager was my knight dressed in a three piece suit, riding a Bugatti.
But he wasn’t saving me from some dragons or pirates but my own sick brain.
His offer was generous and beautiful, exactly like him.
We get married until my life was back to normal. Simple.
But nothing was simple in my grand wedding and the designer wedding dress.
Ours was possibly the only fake wedding where every custom was followed to the word...
including consummating the marriage.
Zane was a husband plucked out of dreams, determined to support me in...sickness and health.
And it was easy to forget that our marriage had a ticking clock.
Zane

Vienna came into my life by accident. Literally and figuratively.
When I was bringing her to the hospital, I didn’t know she’d be someday sleeping on my bed, demanding sex on our wedding night and so many more.
She was the yin to my yang. Noise to my silence. Light to my darkness.
But she was temporary.
I could never tie her to me...permanently.
The guilt of doing that to her would be bigger than any guilt I have. And I’ve many.
“I c-cannot effing do th-that to her.”

After reading my first book by Vikky Jay in June, I knew I wanted to read more books by her. So when I got the opportunity to read ‘Saving Vienna’, book four in standalone Teager Family series, I was super excited.

In ‘Saving Vienna’ we read the story of the youngest Teager brother Zane and barista Vienna. One day Zane and Vienna meet at the café where Vienna’s works. Vienna needs help, and Zane is more than willing to help out. Even if that means marrying the girl he hardly knows. Their marriage was supposed to be temporary and just for the outside world. But soon Zane and Vienna find out there is much more between them than a fake marriage.

Vikky Jay has a way of writing that I really enjoy. Her characters are so fun and intriguing, and I love reading this book through both Zane and Vienna’s point of view. Both characters where really fun to get to know. Zane is this handsome, rich guy who on the outside seems all perfect and to good to be true. But the fun thing is, he is kind of perfect. Sure he has his flaws, but mostly he is this really kind guy who tries to help out the girl that took his breath away.

The chemistry between Zane and Vienna was amazing. I loved how easily they seemed to trust each other. Most times I find that kind of stuff hard to imagine, but for these characters it worked because they where just really ‘good’.  It was also fun to read a bit about Zane’s brothers, because I already knew one of them by reading the previous book in this series. It definitely is okay to read this book as a standalone, but the fact that I already love one of the couples was nice.

The one thing I didn’t love as much was all the wedding planning that was supposedly pulled of in only a week or so. How on earth can you pull of a supposedly big wedding in such a short amount of time, and why didn’t anyone question their short ‘relationship’ a little more? And when the wedding was really happening, we didn’t read about it much. It wasn’t a bad thing that troubled me to much. But it was the one teeny tiny flaw I could find about this read.

‘Saving Vienna’ was a very fun, romantic read with some amazing characters. I definitely need to check the first two books in this series as well.

About Vikki Jay

In those early morning hours when I’m alone, my imaginations run wild and I pen down the life of people living in my head. All my life, I have lived in small towns in different parts of the world. The friendships, the camaraderie that people share around me inspired me to create Cherrywood and St. Peppers, the two towns where all my stories take place.

I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.

I reject to read, see, write anything that does not promise a HEA.
My characters are sexy yet shy, strong yet reserved…

I am married to a man whom I fell in love at an age of 15, proposed him at an age of 23 and married at an age of 30. He has no clue what I write or do when he is snoring quietly in the next room.
