Back Cover

Quinn is all too familiar with hard work and struggling to make ends meet. When an opportunity presents itself to leave her grungy job and bleak, dead-end town, she jumps at the chance for big-city living, and flies across the country to meet her groom. Thrown into a world of outlandish wealth and luxury, Quinn must learn to navigate her new role as a housewife while battling her undeniable attraction to a husband who insists their relationship is purely business.

Jaxon has fought his way up the corporate ladder choosing solitude over companionship. When he overhears office gossip that his boss is looking to promote a family man at this year’s corporate retreat, he knows he needs to secure a wife.

Minutes after meeting, these two polar opposites are joined in matrimony. The newlyweds soon clash over the terms of their agreement. Tensions flare and passions ignite as they navigate the highs and lows of their unconventional marriage.

Will Jaxon take it too far with his commanding personality, or will Quinn’s free-spirited nature win him over?

My review

First, I would like to thank the author for the arc. It’s not the type of books I usually read because I found them predictable, and I have a soft spot for more complex stories. At the same time, it’s exactly what I needed to read to make me forget about real life. I wanted something cute, characters that made me laugh and enjoy a good time while I was turning the pages. The writer did excellent work for that.

I was at Quinn’s place ten years ago, and I could connect to that. I lost my grandmother and my job pretty much at the same time. Maybe it’s the reason I give her the first place. She also made me chuckle the most, although I like the fact that Jaxon is a grumpy sunshine. It’s just that I could relate to Quinn more and she was funnier.

I’m not a huge fan of the contemporary marriage of convenience trope, but I think it’s turned out satisfied. The chemistry between the characters is great. They learn to discover each other, although they should do that before the wedding, and Luna won my heart.

I recommend it if you have to have a good moment and enjoy romance. Please note that the F-word is happening a few times, but it didn’t bother me as much as I imaged when the author warmed me. I think I was more curious about the characters than anything else.
