Forever After All

Forever After All is a marriage of convenience standalone. I was really intrigued by this due to the setup of the story and this trope is my catnip. And even though I love this author, something that drive me bonkers is the way she handles the grovels. I am SO not a fan of how she drags it out and the heroines treat the hero's so awful in their grovel. It really rubs me the wrong way. So this story was solid for the most part. I enjoyed the angst, I enjoyed the whole hero is so emotionally constipated and the heroine trying to make her husband fall in love with her. So the first 2/3 of the story I really enjoyed. But then we get to the third act where the heroine breaks it off with the hero but when the hero tries to show how much he loves her, she spurns him completely and even has him dragged out by security and it just doesn't make sense. Throughout the whole book she wants him to love her, and when he finally is open with her and admits his feelings, she treats him like a criminal for it and his whole family acts like he is the enemy when there is obvious reasons why he doesn't open his heart easily. Basically, we just get to see the heroine emasculate the hero (which is not sexy) and it just wasn't super enjoyable when the rest of the book was so solid.

Ngl the reason this was 4 stars was because of the groveling and the way this man was actually begging and sobbing on his knees while hugging her.. I truly love pathetic men 🫶🏻

the family drama is hella dramatic and i liked it. the conflicts are somehow draggy and repetitive, both love each other but are still in denial. at first i was okay with it, and thought it was cute. but no... as it went on, i began getting annoyed

3,5 stars i honestly dont know how to feel about this,,, its kind of predictable, but at the same time i still like it, the character arc with alec was pretty good and i had a good time reading it so yea 3,5 stars

Not my fave but not my least fave. The spice was fine, the plot was sort of lacking and out of the blue. Weird twist. The grovel wasn’t great lmao but there was one😂

oh i liked this one a lottt. alec’s whole “u won’t ever get love from me” speech got old but that man was down bad, he and elena had me giggling and squealing and kicking my feet. marriage of convenience you’ve never once let me down a day in my life 🫶🏼
