(N) While on fall break Wren Bradford and her mom fly off to Vegas. During their trip all Wren's mother wants to do is gamble leaving Wren whose only 18 to herself. Seeing as how there's not much to do when you're 18 and in Vegas Wren spends most of her time in the hotel's Starbucks drinking coffee and reading. There Wren has a chance meeting with a handsome stranger who asks her to spend the day with him. With nothing else better to do and having gone a bit stir crazy Wren decides to spend the day with him. That night the two go to dinner, have a little bit too much to drink and wake up the next morning only to discover that they're now married.
Wren's life has just been turned upside down and while she wants to forget that the whole thing happened she cannot deny the chemistry she and her now husband have for one another. And because of that insane chemistry the two decide to give their marriage a shot before calling it quits. So Wren goes off to California with her new husband leaving everything and everyone behind. There Wren is thrown into the LA lifestyle something completely opposite from her home in Indianapolis. It is also in LA where Wren discovers just who she married, Hollywood movie producer Weston Lockwood.
Finding out just how famous her husband is just made her situation all the more real. Wren married a complete stranger, someone she knows absolutely nothing about. Marriage is hard and its only made all the worse when you marry a complete stranger and have to hide your marriage from the rest of the world. You see while Wren may be 18 and still in high school Weston is 31 and he knows if the paparazzi get a hold of just how young his new wife is they will never leave her alone.
When I first saw the length of the book and noticed that it was just under 450 pages I figured that I was gonna be in for a long read but that wasn't the case at all. I managed to finished Becoming Mrs. Lockwood in what seemed like no time at all. Those are the books the kinds of books that I enjoy reading the most. The ones where no matter the length they keep you interested throughout the entire read. And while there were times when I thought I should be further along in the story than I was just because so much had already happened I never once wanted to put this book down. I found myself falling in love with these characters. And while there may seem like a big age difference between Wren and Weston, Wren seems at times more mature for her age while Weston grew up a child star and having lost most of his childhood to being in the public eye leaving Weston not always being as mature as he should be. Wren and Weston are perfect for each other and that really shows in this book. You want them to stay together no matter what. This is definitely a book that you should give a read.
