DNFed around,



Everyone who follows me knows I'm a sucker for a marriage of convenience trope.

And I do read everything: a good harlequine, forbidden, friends to enemies, enemies to lovers, historicals, stepbrothers and all the mafia shenanigans.


And this one did have a good start and a lot of potential but it was all lost due to the bad writing and a really annoying heroine who reminded me of a lot of a headless chicken, frantically pingponging between being her fake miss goodytwoshoes work persona and the sex obsessed dominatrix she really wanted to be right from the first page when Warren proposed.




In other words, the heroine was a truly pathetic mess,
And a really, REALLY annoying one, may I add,

I did like Warren though, Our hero. But he was supposed to be a ruthless billionaire bastard and all I saw was a quick turnover into a needy and clingy puppy right in chapter, when they got married and he gave her a very quick and uncomfortable not only for the heroine but mostly for us, readers peck on her lips.




I managed to get through their first sex scene and when the dumber than dumb sis decided to pretend nothing had happened afterwards and went back to pretend she was so professional, and that she didn't really ride her boss's cock half the night
Yeah, that was the point when I was done with this shit.


So fucking done,

And angry af,

Because that was not what I signed up for when downloading this book,
I was hoping for a nicely written story for two people who fall in love with each other.


What I got, however, was a cringey insta everything with zero plot and a moronic heroine who got things worse every time she opened her stupid mouth.
All this presented with some really lousy writing,

So thanks, but no thanks,

Won't be reading from this author any time soon,

The premise sounded interesting but I wasn't engaged by the writing style, This was a DNF for me, I won this book from Goodreads Giveaways, . Thank you.

Can a marriage of convenience turn into love Warren doesn't think that's even a possibility or he wouldn't have offered himself up when the mood struck! We recognize most of the supporting cast from the past books in this series, and it's fun to watch Warren have to let go of his past hangups to actually see the potential in front of him after he held such a grudge over Jonas amp Hendrix for falling in love.
I really enjoyed this series!

Australian marketing consultant Tilda Barrett finds herself in a real pickle when she learns there is an issue with her work visa and she must return to Australia in two days time and turn her job at Flying Squirrel over to a replacement.
A secret past makes it difficult for her to ever return home again, . . but it doesn't seem like she has any choice in the matter!

CEO Warren Garinger knows that Tilda is a huge asset in his current campaign to gain Australian market share, so there's no way he's letting her be thrown off this project.
When all the legal channels turn up no options for them, he

decides to take matters into his own hands and offer a temporary marriage solution.
Little does he expect his tightlaced new wife to knock his socks off with one glimpse of what she wears under those prim and proper business suits! Author needed to do better research.

I'll admit, I'm just on the first chapter and I'm hooked, Especially with the MMC's idea of a manual for dumping men, Very funny. I enjoyed this. Not my fave writing style and set up was dumb,stars. Not a bad book, not a bad plot, but I hated Tilda, I get that she had a traumatic past and had things to overcome, but, . . I don't know. I didn't like her, I didn't like how she handled herself or the situation, Warren seemed to have this suddenpersonality change the second they kissed, which I get but at the same time a slower change would have felt more natural.
