Wow! This is such a fantastic starry to a new series, but I recognized characters from the Roommate Remodel and that added so much for me but isn’t necessary to read first. I adore Vale and Sloan. Vale is so sweet and swoony and is the first to admit his feelings in the great marriage of convenience romance. It is a book I didn’t want to put down, it drew me in from the beginning, the hilarious banter, swoony kisses, the tension, it is a book I am sure you will love like I do!

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this book!!

What a great book! I enjoyed this one a lot!!! I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters. Great writing style!! This was a first by this author for me but will not be my last!

This is NOT the first book in a series. The previous book is about the fmc’s sister and the mmc’s brother. The MCs met at the beginning of it and that’s when their story started 😭😤

This was such an ugly move to market this as a first book. It’s like making someone read Marrying Winterborne but not telling them about Cold-Hearted Rake, iykyk. On top of that this book was filled with cameos. It was like being on a party where everyone knows everyone and I’m just standing awkwardly in the corner because I’m the only stranger.

We meet the MCs when they wake up in one bed in a hotel in Vegas. Nothing happened! I mean they got married, but otherwise - nothing. They are in love, but staying in the friend zone because of reasons. The official reason to get married is not love, the love part is unofficial for now.

I would have probably enjoyed this book if it wasn’t for the reasons listed above. The writing was decent and the chemistry between the MCs was good too. Vale was very sweet and it was obvious that he was crazy about Sloan.

It was maybe a little too clean for my tastes (they’re married ffs, let them have some fun!), but that’s a minor thing, the emotions were done well and even the third act was handled nicely. I wouldn’t even call it a breakup, maybe a short freak out but not more than that.

Highly recommended for people who read the previous books!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I read this book as a standalone. While I eventually understood all the aspects, it was a little confusing at some points. I loved the characters but felt like overall, chemistry was missing from them. I also found all the antics outrageous and unbelievable and it took away from the story. Overall a solid read if you’re a fan or marriage of convenience and closed door romances.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc.

This was a dual POV friends to lovers/marriage of conscience.

I liked the characters but felt it was really dragged out and repetitive, not for me.
