Marriage For One
Reviews

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.

3,5? :)))

3.75 i love me some domestic couple. definitely a great read!

4/5 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.”

3/5 It's been two years and I needed them okay. I need my own grumpy millionaire lawyer now. "We have a baby. I have you. I have everything I need right here in my arms. I've never been happier in my life ever since you walked into it, Rose. I don't know how to put what I feel for you in to words. Tell you what you mean to me. I love you seems so simple and not enough."

I liked this book, but it was an okay book. I enjoyed reading it, but I didn't grow attached to the chapters. The story was so cute and all the yearning and buildup was so good. However, the characters felt flat which is why I couldn't really be attached to them. There were lines that made my heart break and flutter, but that's it. The conflict was resolved too fast for my liking; I wanted more angst/comfort. Overall, I wouldn't say it's up there, but I didn't hate it.

4.5 ⭑ “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.“ _ this book is so uputdownable, captivating and emotional. i really enjoyed reading this so much. the way my heart couldn’t take the sweetness between Jack and Rose is just 😖😖 this was slow burn yet fast paced i just loved everything the angsty, the romance LIKE IM LITERALLY SIMP. we got Jack and Rose as the main characters, Jack is the grumpiest man ever i can’t help but falling in love with him istg this man charmed me in every way his words, his frowns, his caring nature like no one can’t resist HIM. NO ONE. AND WE GOT ROSE I LOVE HER CHARACTER SO MUCH. she looks happy but can’t you believe she just got dumped with her ex fiancé and she lives and grew up alone without her family but she had a very big dream to open her own coffee shop. i just love her so much and i wish i could hug her. can we just talk about the way Rose counting Jake’s smile every TIME. LIKE THATS THE CUTEST THING EVER. this literally an enjoyable read i literally so into this book that i literally ditched my other physical book 😌 okay now let’s talk about the reason i didn’t give it 5 stars….it’s because the “reveal” of Jack’s guilt which was honestly i was a lil bit confused and i kinda like “what so suddenly” by the whole situation. i just thought is was a eye-roll worthy part. it shouldn’t be on this book. like they already perfect for each other. OKAY SO IF YOU GUYS LOVE: 🌹 grumpy x sunshine 🌹 slow burn 🌹 marriage of convenience GO READ THIS BOOK BUDDIES!!

The storyline was unique nothing like i ever read before. But i feel like something was lacking. Don’t worry i really do enjoy reading this!✨ thank you author!

I don't know if I liked it or if I hate it

I don't know if I liked it or if I hate it

1/5. idrc if it’s unfair, if i dnf a book it’s automatically a 1/5 for me.

oh how i love their relationship. i cried in this shit. oh jack hawthorne 😫😫😫 i loved every single chapter of this novel.

[3.75/5] it was cute if you just ignore that fucking cover

it was cute, i was literally smiling and laughing every 5 minutes lol jackrose 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 - "Day after day, I found myself helping Rose at her coffee shop. Even when I didn't intend to drop by, or let's say even when I knew I shouldn't drop by, I still found myself on her doorstep." - "I might not be what you wanted or needed, but you got me anyway. I'm right here." - "That earned another beautiful smile, and I decided I would always cook for her on Mondays, pasta or whatever she wanted." - "I'll be right there when you wake up, Rose. I'll be waiting for you right here, so you come back to me, okay? Make sure you come back to me." - "But...I was head over heels in love with this woman, more than I could've ever thought possible when I'd first come up with the most ridiculous business deal' I could ever conceive of. She had my heart in her hands. She was the only one for me; it was as simple as that. I could be without Rose. I could spend a lifetime without ever talking to her again and I would live-miserably, but I would live, as long as I knew she was happier. Life always moved on whether you chose to move along with it or stay put and let it happen all around you, but I didn't want to do it without her." - "I didn't want to spend the rest of my life without her, just looking at her from a distance. I needed and wanted to be right next to her, holding her hand, whispering how much I loved her into her skin until my love became a part of her, a necessity she couldn't do without. I wanted to be her air, her heart. I wanted everything I didn't deserve to have." - "Go home, Jack," I said quietly. "You have no reason to be here." "I don't have a home to go back to anymore, Rose." "You're my home," - "You are the love of my goddamn life," "Somewhere in between all the pretending, I completely fell for you, and I can't even think of my life without you in it." - "Your heart always has a home with me, Rose. No matter what, never forget that." "And yours will always have a home with me. Certain people are meant for each other and you were meant for me, Jack. And I was meant for you." - "I'm so in love with you, Rose Hawthorne," I said against her lips as she laughed at something I'd just said. "You're the best part of my life."

Rose's dream of owning her own coffee shop is about to go down the drain - her fiance has left her, and her uncle's will states that only her husband can claim the building. When Jack pulls her aside and offers to marry her so he can acquire the building after the 2 year stipulation for the coffee shop, Rose thinks he must be joking, but she soon finds herself with Jack, standing in front of an officiant naming them husband and wife. Rose is going to do everything she can to make the marriage work with the grumpy lawyer, but little does she know that Jack has an ulterior motive.
Marriage for One is an engaging slow burn romance with twists and turns throughout the story that make it hard to put down. References to the movie, Titanic, occur frequently due to the character names and You've Got Mail is also mentioned. In addition, the characters' personalities bear a striking resemblance to the protagonists in Fifty Shades of Grey, creating a bit of a distraction and making connections with them difficult. Overall, however, Marriage for One is an entertaining romance that is well worth the read.

JACK AND ROSE ARE THE BEST , I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

This is one of the best slow burn romances I have read and I love Jack and Rose together. We love an arranged marriage trope and this was done good, because it added to the plot that was good and when the spice (finally) came it was perfect and everything you need. I like that this was dual POV but I think it would not be as predictable if it wasn't but I loved Jacks POV so I will not complain. So all in all this book had everything I wanted out of it and I highly recommend it!

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.

im in love.

i’ve read this three times and i still love every fucking second of this book

This was a super cute book

umm idk how what to say I really did not enjoy this at all 🤷♀️ maybe I'm a dual pov hater

actual rating : 2.5⭐

5/5 ☆
Highlights

When I felt his lips against my temple, I closed my eyes. “You’re breaking my heart, baby, trying to hold on to something that should’ve never been. Sign the divorce papers, Rose. Please.”

“I’ll be right there when you wake up, Rose. I’ll be waiting for you right here, so you come back to me, okay? Make sure you come back to me.”

I was an idiot. “Your sleeves… you always roll them up.” I was a gigantic idiot, but… it was always one of the highlights of my day, so why should I have to suffer just because he forgot about it? It was my daily forearm porn, and I had started to look forward to it.
100% valid haha

“It sounds like you’re fucking with me, cuz.”
I took a step forward and left, putting myself in front of Bryan and forcing Rose to take a step back. “I know this is a surprise to your family, Mr. Coleson, so I’ll let that one go, but I’d suggest you watch your words when you’re speaking to my fiancé.”

“It’s beautiful,” Jack said softly. It was soft enough that it got my attention, and I noticed his eyes were on me, not the flowers.
Clasic romance novel line!

Rose:You're eating lunch in your office by yourself? Jack:Yes. Rose:Why didn't you tell me? I make great sandwiches. I looked down at my high-priced steak lunch and wished I had a sandwich instead. Jack:Next time.


I thought she looked beautiful with her hair down and a little messy, her lips bare and her eyes still sparkling.
I love when men describe their woman like this.

She avoided my eyes, and I realized I didn't like it.
He's warming up to her and I like it very much.

Surprised, I looked up to meet his eyes, but his attention was on my index finger as he gently rolled the ring back and forth with his thumb and index finger. The sensation was as alien as it could get. "It's okay," I whispered when he didn't stop playing with it. "It's a little big, but it's okay." He let go of my hand and the ring and then looked at me. "I'll take care of it." "There is no need to do that. This is fine."
GIRL USE HIS MONEY COME ON 😭

“I cupped her head and rested my forehead against hers. “You are the love of my goddamn life,” I whispered back, my voice raw and hoarse. “Somewhere in between all the pretending, I completely fell for you, and I can’t even think of my life without you in it.”
IM CRYING THIS IS ADORABLE

The smile that bloomed on her face when she saw me and Stave hauling the tree into the apartment was priceless. Her laughter that rung through the apartment as e decorated it together made it one of the best days of my life
Christmas is my favorite holiday and reading about Christmas scenes always makes the book so better. This whole book is so comforting

“You’re the only woman I want to go to sleep holding on to and wake up next to, Rose Hawthorne. I will never leave you. I will never forget you.”

Your heart always has a home with me, Rose. No matter what, never forget that.

You were always right next to me, every step of the way, and you made me love you.

We’ll figure it out together. We have each other now.
