The story was dragged on for so long and the romance WAS the plot. It would’ve been more enjoyable if it was half the number of pages.

I love them Your Honor. 


  
    “I don’t have a home to go back to anymore, Rose.”
 I stopped, but didn’t look at him. “You’re my home,” he finished.”

“I want you,” she said, her voice so small I could feel something breaking inside me. “I want you more than anything I’ve ever wanted in my life.”

I liked the story and the characters a lot! But… it was so long. It went to slow for me. It took me forever to get through. It’s sad because it had such a great story.

           I am annoyed. Like extremely annoyed. I was having a good enough time until the secret bit. The whole thing just completely threw me off the mark. I couldn't enjoy it. I was just waiting for Cynthia or someone to tell her what was going on. And the fact that he wasn't even sorry for taking advantage of her situation and manipulating her into a marriage and then going on to feign it as something he did "to save her." yeah keep telling lies to feel good about yourself ig. Like he's 31, he knows damn well why he did it."I was going to stay away from you and divorce you after after 2 years" is the wackest excuse I've ever heard. I'm annoyed through and through.

Ahhh I really liked it!!! I'm really in that kind of mood for fake dating and marriage of convenience especially when it usually means a slow burn romance. Which I will say this book delivered all of that and added an unexpected emotional twist. This is the first dual pov one I've read this month too of this trope and I really enjoyed getting to see both Jack and Rose's perspectives as their feelings started developing. More of this please, other authors take note! I LOVED their relationship I thought it was a lot of fun watching them both fighting their feelings as the lines kept getting blurrier and blurrier. They both were very tactile and constantly found excuses to be touching each other A LOT. It's always thrilling for me knowing they're both making moves while pretending it's fake, but deep down knowing that's actually their real feelings that showing. I live for all the little moments between them and the bigger gestures as well. Also, the angst of one side thinking it might only be them and then fighting that urge to pull them close while still trying to emotionally distance themselves. So good!

They were also really sweet and this book took a bit more of a serious turn that a mentioned above that really caught me off guard and made me think for a second maybe thinks were going to end up tragic and this wasn't the light romance I thought it was. I did love how those more serious moments showed another more caring and deeper side to their relationship. Maybe I'm just a sucker for when one person in a relationship devotes their time to take care of the other person, and you see the true depth of their feelings through those actions. Overall a very enjoyable read, and other than a certain thing Jack did that I thought was quite manipulative and a bit of a turn off for me personally and really the only reason this is less than a 5. Even though I've forgiven other characters for far worse, it just rubbed me the wrong way. First Ella Maise's book and I think will read more in the future seeing as she has such an easy writing style and I got sucked into this book only from the first few pages.

HI BOOKLOVERS,

I been putting this on my tbr list since last year and now I finally get the chance to read it and it's just so good and I'm so in love. So very in love I wish I could give it more star. I love this fake dating fake marriage trope but this just so different, the aura of the book and the writing hit different. 

The characters make it more interesting. I like it when they try to make it work and didn't hate each other so much like we usually read. And Jack, Jesus help me Jack is so sweet, he's intense but sweet. He was kind to her on his own way. The Heroin, Rose she was a strong character but also colorful. I like.

You guys should totally read it. 

xoxo. Kath!
