Would read again. All good Romances need anything to drive a plot - angst or secrets or trouble. It was super enjoyable to read a book that didn't rely on the old miscommunication trope for this. 

Never thought I'd like MMC named Duke - so growly and usually a dogs name - but it worked. Nicely spiced without being 😬🫣

I enjoyed this book by Willa Nash aka Devney Perry. This book is not a strong as the Edens or Clifton Forge series but shows promise. I enjoyed Lucy and Duke’s story. It did sway a little too instalove for me, I love the build up of a romance. I felt we didn’t get to see that deeper connection being formed. That being said I still found yourself rooting for the couple. I am intrigued by the set up for book 2 and excited to see how it plays out because marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes.
