nathalyalvarez's review against another edition

Fue una lectura realmente ligera, fácil de leer.
El tema de millonario que no quiere una relación se enamora de una chica pobre y tienen sexo y se enamoran esta demasiado repetido. De todas formas me gusta leer sobre ello. Considerando que estoy leyendo este tipo de libro solo para crearme una opinión y por curiosidad.
Alexa es uno de los personajes femeninos mas fuertes que he leído en los últimos tres meses. No es como Bella Swan, o Anastasia Steele que hacían cualquier cosa por el hecho de que estaban enamoradas, no. Alexandria nunca fue débil excepto en la parte en que hizo el contrato de casarce por dinero, pero al menos ella tenia buenas razones. Es fuerte, temeraria, cariñosa, inteligente y audaz. No quiero hablar sobre Nick porque es demasiado estúpido, era increíblemente obstinado. A veces era tan adorable. Pero por lo que me di cuenta Nick es asi por lo que cree que es. Porque se rehúsa a dañar a sus futuros hijos como sus padres le hicieron daño a el.
Es una buena lectura pero ya en las ultimas partes todo se vuelven demasiado predecible.

This was a great read and I enjoyed every moment of reading it. I just didn't want to put it down.
It was a simple arrangement. A marriage in name only and both partners would get what they wanted.
For Alexa McKenzie it was the money to save her family's home, but she never thought that the answer to her question would be the same man who once shattered her heart, her best friend's older brother.
Nick Ryan doesn't believe in marriage and if it wasn't for an inheritance of his uncle's corporation he would never marry. However, his uncle believed in family and requires Nick to marry or he doesn't get it. When he learns that his little sister's childhood friend is in a financial strait, he offers her a bold proposition.
There are only a few rules to follow:
Avoid entanglements, keep things all business, and do not fall in love.
These few rules should be easy to follow for the year they need to be married, but fate always finds a way to throw rules out the window.
I think that my favorite part about this book was the emotional connection that I felt with the characters. Alexa and Nick are complete opposites in almost every way (He's a Yankee fan and she's a Met fan to name one) and that in itself can cause it's own problems. Add to the fact that Nick has an upset ex-girlfriend who was interested in becoming Nick's wife, and all the secrets they are keeping from each other it makes the entire story very interesting.
I laughed, I nearly cried, and I went up and down the emotional rollercoaster that these two took me on and just couldn't stop reading. I can't wait to read more about these characters.

A girl who needs 150k for her family, a boy who needs a wife for an inheritance. Will they be able to live up to the contract they set? Or will they fall hard in love?
So, I had to read a few books for a copycat challenge, and this was one of them. The book really seemed adorable, sweet, and cute, and I was eager to see if these two would fall in love, or if they would manage to resist all temptations.
Meet our two characters. Nick. A rich guy with a troubled past (parents who didn't love him, a dad that left his mom, and more unhappiness). He is an architect and loves making/designing buildings. He needs a wife due to a certain requirement in his late uncle's inheritance. Now to find a woman who can deal with his contract, and who doesn't mind marrying and staying together for a year.
Alexa. A sweet girl with her own book store (which made me love her even more), a big heart, an animal lover, and a girl in desperate need for some money. The money isn't for her (though she will pretend it is), it is for her parents.
I loved that Alexa and Nick had a past. That they were childhood friends. I loved seeing their shared past, see how they felt about each other (not that well, though we can also see there is more to it).
I loved the contract, but of course, it was just that obvious, I knew that there would be breaches soon. Still, I admire that they both managed to make a contract, add some things, subtract some things (like Alexa who didn't think it was fair that she couldn't have sex, but Nick could).
It was great seeing these two open up, getting closer, figuring out how they feel about each other. I was rooting for them to get together, to make this marriage a real thing and not a fake thing.
I just wished Alexa had been honest about what she had done with the money. But I guess then we wouldn't have had so much drama. :P
I had quite a laugh at the fact that every time they went for it, or were planning to go for it, they were interrupted. Thankfully, eventually they are able to go for it without interruptions, and oh my!
The sex scenes are perfect! I loved them, they weren't too much (as some books I have read), but just right. I also loved the sexual tension between the two characters, plus it was quite funny that they were both trying to ignore it, but that it got worse with every page, until the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Sorry, but what happened at Chapter 10? Helllllloooo, why was that needed? Good grief, it was just too coincidental to be funny. Plus, who doesn't know what happens when you mix the those two things? The whole book was amazing, it was cute, it was sweet, it had tension, it had good sex scenes, but right after the moment Nick meets his daddy, what happens to our girl? Yeeeeeeep. You can guess. :| And of course after that x happens. Of course, so cliché, so urggghghgghhgg. *rolls her eyes until they pop out* Then in the next chapter there is the big reveal, because DUH, the book is almost over so hurry hurry and get it all out in the open air. Good grief. Why. Why. -0.5 star for this BS.
The ending, eh, sure, it was as cliché as you can get, but OK, it was still pretty sweet, and yes, I cried. I was still very very happy with it.
All in all, I just loved this book, and I will keep on reading this series. Especially seeing that the next book is about Michael and Maggie. I just adored both these characters and I was already rooting for them to get together in this book.

bookshelf1792's review against another edition
I know there’s only a small amount left but I do not feel the connection between the two main characters at all. It started out great and then got worse with some weird diet/body shaming things, then got worse with OW drama with some arguable cheating . Their relationship is very lust based and I don’t want to finish.

I have a lot to say and It's more than 400 words.
First of all, this book seemed so stereotypical. It was so pathetic. She knew he didn't want that lifestyle but it seemed like she was trying to change him in a way. This book is the reason most people hate romance books. Honestly.
Secondly, how convenient that she gets pregnant knowing he didn't want kids? And the fact that after barely two seconds he suddenly accepts it and want to get make a second one? Not at all realistic. It gives people the idea that love makes everything okay and It doesn't work like that. I hated that.
She was stubborn and he was...well I'm not sure. This book annoyed me. I guess they were okay, the writing was okay and the plot. I'm not sure why I'm giving this book a three star, maybe because I rarely give one or two stars. And it was okay. But it was too stereotypical, too ridiculous, too basic. I did like that he always cooked dinner and not her, I think that's why i gave it a one star.
Anyways, I have a lot more i can say. I'll summarize it. This book wasn't for me. She obviously expected him to be okay with the pregnancy even though he repeatedly stated he didn't want kids. I feel like no one was listening to him and expected him to change his views. And the fact that he did, it just urked me. Someone can be in love AND make the decision not to marry or have children. Love doesn't equal marriage and babies. I'm getting tired of these one dimensional, one way of thinking or ending. I'm over it. Barely three stars worthy. And I usually like most romantic books I read.
I feel like I wasted my time reading this book. No memorable. I'm mad that I didn't like it or that it was written this way because I wanted to like it. I thought I would've liked it and I didn't. I'm also mad that I'm mad about it cuz it's just a book yet it isn't just a book. It's a way of thinking and it's normalized. Daily. This type of ending. I'm also mad that I'm mad about it because now I'm making a big deal of it and it shouldn't be. I guess this book frustrated me on a personal level. Okay read, wish I never came across this book.
