That was kind of brutal, and vaguely problematic.
I've got a head cannon that Demitri lied when he said he was completely straight, cause otherwise this plot doesn't really work for me.
I almost want to add a content warning for sexism to cover the way Brook was treated for not being an alpha. It's some sort of -ism anyway and difficult to read.

Despite all that, I really loved the MCs, both separately and as a couple. And their HEA gave me all the warm fuzzys.

there's something inherently questionable of being gay for a 100k.
lighthearted fast-paced

Such a quick and easy read to help me get out of my reading slump. If you like a slow build in tension between the main characters and a HEA w lots of cute scenes in between, you should deffo read!

I really like how respectful while protective Dimitri is. They have good chemistry and it was a very enjoyable read

A nice surprise to get another Mismatched Mates romance

This is kind of adjacent to the majority of the Mismatched Mates series as it concerns Drew's cousin Brook.

It's still a sweet romance though which follows the fake marriage/mate trope well and sees a somewhat lost and powerless Brook seek to turn the tables on his family by finding his own Alpha mate and taking over as CEO of the family company.

On the way, he has to shed preconceptions not only about Demitri, the alpha he hires, but also about himself.

I liked how Demitri stood his ground and gave Brook as good as he got in spite of their different stations in life.

I also liked how he went out of his way to provide a solid platform for Brook to accept his feelings were changing.

They sparked off each other from the start and their escapades in bed were both hot and also occasionally funny.

With a couple of twists and turns along the way, this romance works itself into a very happy ending.
