I've made myself into many things over the years. A Yale graduate. A brilliant corporate strategist. A city boy. And, though no one outside my inner circle knows it, a billionaire.
One thing I never expected to be? Accidentally married to a straight, small-town cowboy named Waylon, the pride and joy of… *checks notes*... Majestic, Wyoming.
Sadly, what happens in Vegas does not, in fact, stay in Vegas, and before I know it, I'm trying to track my erstwhile husband down, divorce papers in hand and thrift store clothes on my back, desperately hoping the stranger I married won't realize he's suddenly entitled to a lot more than that shiny gold ring on his finger.
Unfortunately, Way has other plans.
His town is counting on him as mayor to bring the lucrative AdventureSmash wilderness race to Majestic, and he refuses to sign my papers until the deal is done… which means me and my second-hand blue jeans will be hanging around a lot longer than I'd imagined, pretending our one-night whatever-it-was was a love match for the ages.
As it turns out, Majestic is more charming than I'd expected, and Way… is not entirely without charms himself. It also turns out he's, ahem, not as straight as he thought he was.
Before I know it, dusty boots feel more comfortable than my shiny wingtips, coffee at the Love Muffin tastes better than Starbucks, and being the First Husband of Majestic starts to seem as important as any corporate merger I've ever negotiated.
But for a man with secrets to keep and a whole life waiting for him back in Manhattan, the only thing worse than Marrying Mr. Majestic… would be falling in love with him for real.

Lucy Lennox is a USA Today bestselling author and winner of the A.C. Katt Gay Debut Novel Award.
After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn't write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn't hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day. She writes gay romance with heart, humor, and heat!

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
Marrying Mr. Majestic by Lucy Lennox is a new standalone romance set in the world of Prince of Lies. Silas thought he was going to Vegas to save an unsuspecting woman from marrying a terrible man, instead he meets a man in a bar and wakes up married and in a heap of trouble. Waylon has found himself in a situation he never expected, married to a man he just met in Vegas and now trying to convince this stranger to stay married to help a deal go through to keep his town afloat. Silas and Waylon come to an agreement that they will divorce after the deal goes through but fail to set boundaries about keeping their hands to themselves. The two find that their chemistry is undeniable and allow themselves to explore since it sells their story of being in love. What neither expects is that they may have stumbled upon their perfect match, if they can only trust each other with their hearts.
I loved this wake up married story. Silas and Waylon were adorable together from the very start and I couldn't get enough of them together. Silas is used to being in charge since coming into his fortune with his friends but also hiding his lifestyle from potential suitors. He immediately trusts Waylon in a way he can't explain but still struggles under the weight of the promise he made to his friends. Silas does everything he can to lighten Waylon's load as both mayor of the town and running the ranch. Waylon doesn't know what to do with the help that Silas provides. He is happy to embrace his sexual awakening with Silas but the day to day problem solving leaves Waylon at a loss. He is afraid to trust that Silas is doing things for him and Majestic out of the kindness of his heart and that there isn't an ulterior motive. The chemistry between Waylon and Silas both in the bedroom and out is perfect.
Lucy Lennox has done it again for me as I fell head over heels for Waylon and Silas. Wake up married can be a difficult trope but Lennox takes the time to have the characters develop a bond outside of the marriage as they get to know each other in Majestic. I cannot wait for Silas's other friends to find their matches.
5 stars for Silas and Waylon changing their lives for the better after waking up married.
