After Fosters fight in Vegas, a very drunk Eloise and Jasper get married. Eloise is worried because she has been working to prove herself to her parents and if they find out she thinks they will take the hotel from her. Jasper and Eloise agree to a quick annulment, but it turns out that is easier said then done. They end up striking a deal, Jasper needs a date to his ex's wedding and Eloise wants to prove to her parents that she is responsible. So, they would stick it out for a few months and then sign the divorce papers once they get back from the wedding.
I love the Edens series so much. I wasn't sure what to think of Eloise as she was presented in the previous books. She came off as a bit naive, but really she just has such a big heart and wants to see the best in everyone. Her family is so important to her and she struggled to understand why Jasper was so uncomfortable around her family.
I wasn't sure how to feel about Jasper at first. He was so closed off and had a complete inability to communicate with Eloise. Once he opened up to Eloise and we learned about his story, his behaviour made a lot of sense. His parents completely sucked. They never showed him any kind of love, so he was pretty much on his own, until he met Sam. Sam and Jasper grew up together and we're each other's first for pretty much everything. She crushed him, then over the years she continued to manipulate him and play mind games. He could never shake her, that was until Eloise came into his life.
There were a few things that I thought were unnecessary in the book - the shooting and Lyla being so mad. I thought the shooting was a little over the top and he could have proven himself in so many other ways. Lyla and Jasper rarely interacted in the other books, so her reaction was overblown.
I really loved them together. Jasper wasn't much of a talker, but he showed his feelings for Eloise in other ways and he was incredibly protective of her. I loved watching them grow together and their relationship develop.
Grumpy x sunshine, marriage of convenience.

I was really derailed by Garnet Flats, the 3rd book in this series, I did not like it at all. But this book gives me hope because I feel we are getting back into what I love about Devney Perry's books: romance, relationship building, and a bit of suspense.
While the first part of this book suffered from a little too much miscommunication for my liking, once we got the context of Jasper's past it all made a lot more sense. I felt Devney Perry was did a brave thing with where she chose to take Jasper's past. It's not something we see addressed in romance novels much when looking at the mmc.
The second half of this book was a delight. I really liked the new level of steam in this one, we reached new heights!

This was my favorite Edens book so far! I absolutely adored Jasper and Eloise. The mutual pining! The fake marriage with real feelings! *chef’s kiss* I felt like their relationship grew and developed organically throughout the course of the book. I loved seeing each character open up and be vulnerable with each other. Also, the spice? This one was definitely the spiciest Edens book for sure. I couldn’t put this book down because I was just so excited to see what would happen next with Jasper and Eloise. I definitely recommend this book (and series)!

3.75 stars 🌟 I was not ready for the spice in this book. When I tell you Jasper served, I mean he SERVED! Also, that whole Paris thing was such a boss move honestly.
