Her dad is garbage. The stepmother is so weird. The step sister knowing her fiance is a cheater is also wild?

The smut and romance wasn't too cringey and an improvement over the last few romances I've read.

The ending was obvious and overly dramatic but not surprising.

4.25 stars. Quickie review: This was really good! This is a fake dating relationship that leads to love, when the h must attend her mean stepsister's wedding to her own ex-boyfriend who cheated on her. The h and H were both good characters, had great chemistry and were not jerks. There was no betrayal or pushing away. Just a sweet, sexy story with a cliffhanger that didn't bother me too much. An enjoyable first book in this duet.
lighthearted medium-paced

I actually love these two together! The stepsister can go straight to hell… with her mother.

I'm gonna agree with everyone and say that this book and Boy in Luv should have just been a single novel. It's short enough to finish the entire thing in one day.

Anyway, I did like the story here. Would not read it again, but it was interesting.

Very short read.
No HEA. He gets deployed and leaves the morning after sleeping with her. Sneaks out actually and only leaves a note.
