While I can appreciate the quality of the writing... this one just wasn’t for me. In an intriguing role reversal, this book features a strong and successful 30-year-old woman who has workaholic tendencies and avoids commitment. A woman who gives off an intimidating vibe, Carrie finds herself inexplicably drawn to Edwin, a 24-year-old artist she unapologetically watches dancing at her sister’s business. He’s oh so very hipster - red hair, pale skin, freckles, willowy frame. When Carrie’s sister asks her to sit for a portrait (that Edwin will paint), she agrees in the hopes that it will end her obsession with him. What she doesn’t anticipate is that Edwin will turn out to be a great (if not slightly broken) man, and spending time with him does nothing to diminish her attraction.
For me, Carrie is just too overbearing. She’s a bit emotionless, hard to connect to and her fear of commitment doesn’t make her any more likeable when Edwin starts to bare his soul to her. It’s a truly unique and original story, I will give it that, but Carrie made it hard to enjoy. Edwin is the sweetest guy, and his past makes him wary of casual relationships - something that he’s willing to compromise for Carrie. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I just couldn’t get into this one, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t.
Entertaining read.
Carrie has been watching Edwin for a while, and when they are thrown together by her sister, she is forced to face up to her attraction to him.
I liked how this is told from both of their points of view.
Looking forward to the next book in this series.
This book was not what I was expecting, but it was beautifully written. The author was so eloquent in her word choices and it was really captivating to read. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.
Very unique story. I would have liked to have read more about their life after they began their relationship instead of skipping from the proposal to the wedding, but overall a great read!
A great addition to The Morgan Sister's series, His Billionaire Bride by Madeline Ash.
I totally enjoyed the character development in this book and the great characters. I look forward to seeing what the author has up for us in the next book in the series.
So it actually too me a couple of chapters to get into this book. But I am glad I gave it a chance. It was a great story once you got into it.
I was in awe with the magnificent writing style the author was able to showcase and her abilities to bring the characters to life. The raw feelings, emotions and hurt between the lead characters Carrie and Edwin are felt through the pages and despite the constant back and forth whirlwind of emotions thus being the only annoying portion of the read, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this novel. It easy to relate to couple and their inner turmoil. They are flawed humans who learn to grow and admit their faults which isn't often seen and besides being at opposite ends of the spectrum, they were able to work around their insecurities and fears before making it to their happily ever after. "His Billionaire Bride" was a worthwhile novel and I can't wait to indulge in the other installments of the series.
