I have been patiently waiting for the audiobook, and I have it. Giselle lowkey pissed me off when it came to Clayton and not putting him in his place and allowing him to control her when it came to the kids. I wanted her to grow a backbone and put her foot down when it came to Clayton! Gentry is everything you could ever dream of in a strong black man. And I love he stood ten toes behind Giselle but also didn't let Clayton play in his face.
The narrator did a great job and highly recommended the audiobook.

Thank you, Netgalley, and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook for my honest review.

This was okay. I'm not that fond of insta-love and that's how this book felt. It definitely still felt entertaining and engaging. The couple was cute, but it got boring quick because it seemed like they really fell into each other super quick. I understand they had an Married At First Sight type of arrangement, but realistically I would've liked for them to grow into each other at a better pace. The source of the conflict was her baby daddy and I felt like it dragged. It felt so unnecessary and toward the end of the book I felt kind of detached.

I picked this one up on a whim because I was intrigued by two Black professionals using a matchmaking service for an arranged marriage where the couple doesn’t meet until they are at the alter. That being said, for a book that is less than 200 pages, this book had chemistry, heat, and a whole lot of MESS.

I immediately loved both Giselle and Gentry, and I thought that their chemistry felt very natural and not forced. However, I wanted to beat the hell out of Giselle’s best friend/baby daddy. He was stressing me out most of the story, and I just wanted to throw him into a volcano so Giselle and Gentry could get to their HEA. In the end, it was worth it though!
