what’s a romance with no angsty drama? I rarely choose a complex story since I don’t enjoy the misery that the characters went through but I’d say that this book by Scarlett Score isn’t too heavy with angst yet still has the complexity in a fair amount. It was an okay read for me 👍

The story revolves around Evelyn and Christian Wayne, a relationship that sparks from a one-night stand that led to a surprise pregnancy. The issue is Christian is Evelyn’s client and their brief encounter has become a big rumor so now they have to fake a relationship! Now, here’s where the drama starts, Christian Wayne is her ex’s (Ethan) older brother, but neither of them knew it–yes, neither… as apparently Evelyn has amnesia and doesn’t remember Ethan at all. Additionally, Christian also has a dark truth lingers that might affect his relationship with Evelyn. Can they finally be relieved from this struggle and get their happy ending?

If you’re up to an angsty and complex story, then this book would be perfect. I think it could be considered a dark romance at this point, though I could still finish it without draining all of my emotions. Plot-wise, I think the ending was too rushed and I feel the conflict was too easily resolved considering the angst theme of this book. Nevertheless, still having a good time reading this one!

If you are looking for a Workplace, age gap, forbidden client x employee relationship, surprise pregnancy, and angst romance, you might like to read this book!

The story’s strength lies in its ability to balance the intense chemistry between the characters with the looming weight of their hidden truths. As the secrets unravel, the stakes rise, making the romance even more captivating. The dynamic between the leads feels electric, with just the right mix of forbidden allure and emotional depth to keep readers hooked.

Despite its brevity, the narrative feels complete and satisfying. Score crafts a storyline that moves quickly without sacrificing character development or emotional resonance. It’s a whirlwind read, but one that leaves a lasting impression.

When Evelyn realises the person she is now working alongside is the person she had a one night stand with, she decides to play it cool.

However Christian is determined to make Evelyn his, especially when he discovers her secret.

But his brother likes to make both their lives hard and cause problems from the go get and almost makes Evelyn lose her life.

This book is steamy hot, looks at family dynamics and dealings with the past.

I was disappointed in this book for a number of reasons. First, the format was difficult to read on my Kindle. It had a grey background and the lines were not equal in length. Second, the characters were shallow, not fleshed out at all and not particularly likable. The plot line was also flimsy at best. Just an overall disappointment.

It was good. it could have been better. The writing style took me a little to get used to. But once I made it past it I was able to keep going.

I read a few books with the same concept, but i have to admit I didn't feel the vibe of this one. And I am not saying it is a bad book, story is good, characters are good and have personality as well are developing throughout the book.

I am a bit 50-50 about this one. I liked the book but i was confused about it as well. The end felt very abrupt.

The story started off well, but when pieces of Evelyn's past started emerging, the story took a turn.

What started out as a one night fling two months ago, ends up much differently when Evelyn shows up as his new in house lawyer. Unbeknownst to Christian, she's pregnant with his kid. But when photos are leaked to the press about their one night together, they decide to enter a fake engagement.

But Evelyn's past is traumatic. Her parents were killed in a car accident and when she finally woke up from her coma, she had amnesia. She didn't recognize anyone or have any memories of her deceased parents. That is until Christian's younger brother shows up and jogs her memories. He was an abusive boyfriend of hers, too controlling. But he also knows what really happened to her family.

Can Evelyn forgive everyone for their lies?

I’ll start by thanking the publisher for a review copy via NetGalley. I do this because the formatting of the book I received was extremely hard to read. Black background with white sort of cursive print and the entire book is right justified. At first I thought the book formatting made it hard to read, but in the end the book is just hard to read.

Evelyn has amnesia from an accident that killed her parents. She has a one night stand with Christian, ends up pregnant, she ends up as his attorney and then there’s a scandal for reasons I can’t understand. Turns out Christian apparently has some amnesia from stuff in his past too - everyone has amnesia! This book is far-fetched and the romance is not believable in the slightest. At times, I think the author forgot the surprise pregnancy premise of the book as Evelyn would drink at the events they attended. She’s in another accident and no one is even asking about the baby.

This book is too disjointed and the ending does not seem realistic given all that happens. I won’t be trying this author again.

All thoughts and reviews are my own.

The premise of the story is good, but the writing doesn't flow well and there are just enough grammatical errors and editing mistakes to drive me a bit batty. With a bit of work, this could be a good addition to the trope.

It has a good plot, suspenseful and balanced with enough romantic bells and whistles to sustain the reader. What I did not like, what I think dragged the plot was the dialogue. Getting the dialogues right is very essential, and sometimes here it bordered on immaturity.

It was a bit hard for me to get into this story. I couldn’t connect with the main characters. All the storyline seemed unrealistic and absurd to me. The best part were the sexy times. It’s a quick light reading with a bit too much drama. Maybe not my cup of tea?
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A decent read with a good storyline and a great villain.
I enjoyed the story and characters, the whole thing was very entertaining.
My only concern was that the person who gave the website information, and Christian’s meeting with them wasn’t settled.
And what happened to Ethan?
Maybe this needs thought out a little better.
Apart from that it was good.

Steamy and fun! I love a good billionaire romance and their age gap, pregnancy trope. one thing I love about this is that you will always have a fun time reading this with the tension, angst and steam and relationship that builds between them. I thought this story was fun, quick paced, easy to read and anyone that loves a grumpy rich man will eat this up!
