Loved this one! I love Eloise and Jasper. Their dynamic is so fun. Jasper had me swooning with the "my wife" remarks. And I actually thought the spontaneous marriage was done well! But please check triggers.... towards the end of the book there is a scene that can be unnerving for a lot of people.

“I like perfect,” I murmured. “I like imperfect too. I like wild and reckless moments that you never forget.”

I loved Jasper. I loved this book. I loved Jasper and Eloise together. His mouth was the dirtiest of all the MMC so far. This book did not make me near as emotional as the previous but the plot was soo much better. I felt like Devney Perry did a much better job balancing the explicit scenes and the fade to blacks in this one, much more balanced, very tasteful choice.

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

I enjoyed this book a lot. Eloise Eden and Jasper Vale were meant to find each other (in every sense of that saying). 
The chemistry was definitely there and I loved how much Eloise and Jasper cared for each other, even before they could even admit it to themselves and to each other.

I enjoyed this book this most out of the Eden’s. It’s a fun world to get lost in.  Light, easy reads

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)!
