First let me say that this read was very emotional and hit home just a little bit. The FMC was the true version of ‘hurt people hurt people.’ Her pettiness was on overdrive and although she had reason it was really towards the wrong person. Mitchell didn’t know what to do with himself but that love he had hit him harder than he thought it would.

Unsure if this is considered a "novella" but I loved it. Perfect book to get you out of a reading slump.

I enjoyed Kimberly Brown's I Could Fall In Love.
In I Could Fall In Love, we meet Lavish Chamberlin celebrating her divorce in New Orleans, LA. Lavish, who grew up in foster care, is celebrating her freedom after an abusive marriage to the world's worst husband when she meets a billionaire's playboy son, Mitchell Keonig. Mitchell's life is mostly meaningless - he runs businesses he isn't too passionate about and is just looking for his next hookup. Mitchell is in New Orleans partying away his own troubles - his sick father, Xavier, has threatened to write him out of his will if Mitchell doesn't get married. Something in Lavish calls out to Mitchell and he is immediately drawn to her. After getting to know one another, they realize they both could benefit from a marriage of convenience with a little forced proximity.
So begins the whirlwind romance with ups and downs and challenges only two people attracted to one another yet bound by a contract could endure.
The characters are well developed and the story, though relatively short, is full of engaging twists, some totally unexpected. Kimberly Brown takes you on a fun and emotional ride that wraps up so nicely. One of my favorite things about Kimberly Brown's books is that she does a good job at writing complex characters and she tells sensitive stories with so much care.
I highly recommend I Could Fall In Love.

This book had me in my feelings from the very beginning. I love fake dating and arrange marriages in the books so I instantly loved this book. Mitchell gave I take charge and i do not play about my life even through I was a playboy. Mitchell did pissed me off with the going outside of his fake marriage however, Lavish was pushing him away and giving him mixed signals. I felt bad for Lavish because she was leaving an abusive relationship and she did not have family support until the end of the book. I love how Mitchell family accepted her with open arms even through they knew the marriage with fake. I understand Lavish getting upset about the room upgrade because of her past however, i felt like she really needs to talk to someone about everything she went through in her last relationship. Mitchell parents and siblings was some of my favorite characters in this book. I read other book by Kimberly Brown and this book has become one of my favorite books by her. I will be reading more of her backlog because I enjoyed this book

There's the pushiness of the male lead and the drunk sex that she doesn't remember not for me.
