Secrets Are Revealed In The Conclusion To TJ And Mila’s Story! Unpredictable Twists And Angst Galore.


This is the second book in the Four Week Fiancé series. It is the conclusion of TJ and Mila’s story. The final book of the series follows Cody and Sally, their best friends.

From book one:

Mila Brookstone, twenty-two, is an enigma. She is both a realist and a dreamer. A recent college grad, she worked her way up from secretary to an assistant job in the buying department of her family’s business. The new job was not accompanied with a pay increase and she is frustrated that she isn’t allowed to make actual decisions. She wants more responsibility, but her father is concerned about being accused of nepotism. She spends too much for her meager earnings and is messy, very unlike her organized best friend Sally. They’ve been friends since kindergarten and share everything, but they won’t attempt living together again. It hadn’t worked out well when they tried it in college. Sally happens to be in love with Cody, Mila’s older brother. Cody, however, is too busy with his playboy lifestyle to pay her any attention. Mila has had a crush of her own for years. Her brother’s best friend makes her want to hit him and kiss him at the same time. Each fall her family spends a weekend at their lake house. Mila’s best memories have happened there, in part due to the fact that her brother’s best friend normally attends, too. She is a woman now, a working college grad, but she knows it is up to her to make the first move so this year she has a plan to seduce him. Finding Mila’s enthusiasm infectious, Sally has ideas of her own.

TJ Walker, twenty-eight, is a millionaire in his own right thanks to an inheritance from his grandparents. But he lives in the shadow of his billionaire father. The nonchalant playboy smiles for the cameras, but TJ knows it is all a façade; underneath his father’s public persona is a cold and calculating man. Both TJ and his father’s wealth has caused more than a few to try to latch on to TJ, and he shudders when anyone wants to talk about his famous father. He has been best friends with Cody for twenty years, though, and their friendship is tried and true. They both enjoy a playboy lifestyle while working for their fathers. Cody does the accounting for his family business, which has hit hard times during the dip in the economy. TJ works for his father, too. He has plans for expansion and cost savings that will put the company in a strong position going forward, but his cheapskate father doesn’t have the foresight to see the value gained by a little up front investment. Instead, his father is pressuring him to do something that TJ knows is very wrong. He will do it, though. He has a plan, and he promises his father he will come through by the end of the weekend. But if the plan veers off course, TJ will be ruined.

TJ and Mila had played a game for years. Flirting and arguing, even a kiss once she had turned eighteen. But both enter the weekend with a plan to bring their relationship to the next step. Their plans go down the drain, however, because they get caught up in their games. Things get complicated when TJ invites Barbie along as his date. Then Mila’s fake boyfriend Troy suddenly materializes, adding to the chaos. Many hurt feelings occur during the course of the weekend, but somehow TJ and Mila manage to get some alone time together. Mila has dreamed of a romantic evening leading to losing her innocence to TJ. TJ has other ideas, though. He likes danger. He likes dark and dirty. He wants to show her who he really is, but isn’t sure she will stick around once she knows him. Their story ends in a cliffhanger.

In book two:

TJ and Mila return home and embark on their fake four week engagement. Mila gets to see a different side of TJ. He is dark, but beyond that he seems to shut down every time he is on the verge of opening up. He is keeping things from Mila, and she wavers between patience and recognizing the writing on the wall. TJ finds himself overwhelmed when Mila moves in, but he quickly grows to like having her living with him. But love and relationships aren’t in the cards for him. They always end in pain, and that is a bitter truth that he had learned the hard way in his youth. It shaped him. It was best to live in black and white. Night and day, with no shades of grey. It was best for both him and Mila if he didn’t fall in love. Especially because the truth would come out soon, and Mila would never forgive him. But Mila has a secret of her own that might cause a ripple, and she isn’t the only one. TJ and Mila move forward enjoying their time together but with the knowledge that things are not right between them. Their relationship is unclear and their future uncertain. Mila continues to love him quietly, and TJ enjoys the comfort he feels in her presence. But the deal he made weighs heavily on his conscience. It no longer seems the harmless business transaction that he had anticipated because hearts are on the line.

TJ and Mila’s story concludes in a more serious tone. Things get real once they embark on their fake relationship. In the first book, the reader gets a peak at Mila’s past via her journal entries over the years. Here, TJ’s childhood and his earlier interactions with Mila are included, giving insight into his thoughts and motivations. Outwardly, TJ is cold. But inside, he is still a hurt little boy, desperate to be loved. Like Mila, he is lonely. Like Mila, he spends time overthinking things. He is held hostage by his fears and insecurities. Mila turns to her beloved Nonno for advice, and the wisdom he offers helps steady her. His words give her solace like they always have as she tries desperately to come to terms with the reality of loving TJ and never feeling his love in return. The book wraps up with all major questions answered.

TJ and Mila’s story goes from flirty banter and explosive chemistry to angsty exchanges and lots of tears - seven scenes by my count! The story will keep you guessing what secrets TJ is hiding. Their story in nicely written. There are rambling scenes that drag early on, but soon the story is overtaken by angst and secrets. The plot is complex. There are light, laugh out loud moments, spicy scenes, and wickedly suspenseful twists. The cast of characters keeps things fluid and uncertain. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between TJ and Mila. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

As for the Audio: it is very well-performed!

Great Ending

Mela has some growing up to do but T. J. seems to have his work cut out. Now that he has gotten past his childhood traumas. This is a tale of a shelter young woman and a traumatic experienced man who find unconditional love. To bad Nono passes one day too early....Rushed ending a little. A novela of their relationships 4 years after this would be a great way for us readers to get closure.

What did I just listen to?

Don’t waste your time. I hated the main character. A level of immaturity that can not be real! The story line is bland and not great. Only listened to this because I kept waiting for the big finale and then nothing. Blaaaaaas

She's so stupid and dependent your crazy to buy

Would you try another book from J. S. Cooper and Helen Cooper and/or Melissa Moran?

No I don't think so if their characters will follow this type of pattern

Has Four Week Fiance 2 turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was toooooooo weak. I kept skipping ahead, and if your smart just go to the last 45 minutes, then you can skip again and really you don't have to finish this book

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No, you gave the female no back bone. She is just a victim will always be a victim
