Rating: 5/5 stars

Eloise Eden only wants her hotel…but when she drunkenly marries Jasper Vale in Vegas, she fears that her irresponsibility has put her future plans at risk.

Loved loved loved loved loved this. Jasper Vale is a human fire emoji and I’m obsessed. From the first chapter, I loved how he saw and appreciated Eloise and would go above and beyond to keep her happy and safe. And all the “my wife” lines? Perfection. Eloise is also fantastic and easily my favorite of the Eden sisters. Her heart, her capacity for love, and her bravery are just so wonderful and I was so happy to see her evolve through this story arc (and really through the entire series so far).

There was a particular plot element that bugged me a little for personal reasons and almost made this 4.5 stars, but in the end it made me cry, and y’all know the rule. If you’re keeping score, my current series rating is JUNIPER HILL > JASPER VALE > INDIGO RIDGE > CHRISTMAS IN QUINCY (novella) > GARNET FLATS.

CW: Gun violence/injury/death; animal cruelty/death; infidelity

ladies and gentlemen, jasper vale has officially claimed the top spot on the hottest book boyfriend chart this week !!!

this book got me in my feels and i realized marriage by accident / convenience might be one of my favorite tropes. every time jasper refers to eloise as "my wife" i went crazy. when he calls her "angel" i went crazy. when he visited her at work just to let her know he's going somewhere and kisses her forehead before leaving I WENT CRAZY. all i can say is i fell in love with jasper at first "eight. count again." that line is iconic the man knows what he's doing!! i also notice that this series has a plot pattern lol at certain percentage i know something dramatic would happen, but overall i loved this book and their a-frame cabin <3

She was supposed to erase the past. She was supposed to be a beautiful picture over an ugly drawing.

I was afraid that I’d miss him for the rest of my life.

How many people had told Jasper they loved him? Not enough.

Good addition to the series. Both Eloise and jasper did a lot of growing up in this, it was nice to be able to watch. I’m glad that the move from “fake” marriage to “you’re my wife” was not painful like it is with the trope sometimes. I honestly would have really liked a little more depth with the conflict with blaze at the end, it felt rushed. I also think that the relationship between jasper and Eloise’s parents could have been explored a little more, I would have killed for a sexy protective husband scene where jasper really stands up to Harrison for Eloise and Harrison realizes the error of his ways haha. Overall really cute and sweet, first 2/3 were almost perfect, last 1/3 just felt a little rushed. Can’t wait to read the next installment
