This was a lovely read, Eve and Jude didn't realise they had a lot of love to give and watching them come together over time was beautiful. This story was emotional in the best ways.

this had totally 'arranged marriage' vibes over 'marriage of convenience', they were willing to give their relationship a chance. they were so sweet to one another, it was just a heartwarming read. i enjoyed the faith part of the story too. it was subtle but perfect.

Noelle Adams was my most read author in 2o23 so I was ecstatic to read her newest release.
The great thing about Noelle Adams books is that she writes series in a very standalone way, so it benefits the reader greatly to read the whole series but also it makes total sense without doing it. I didn't read the first one in this series so went in very new. Overall, this marriage of convenience story was a solid read. It was touching, had an amazing slow burn but also had spicy scenes. But I really couldn't get over the fact that this man of means went to great lengths to avoid facing certain truths. With the amount of money that both characters had, it just didn't make any sense to me.
For the length, I also wish there was more of a history established between the MCs in the beginning just to get a sense of the world and platonic relationship between the two. The MMC had said that the FMC was a "safe" choice for a marriage of convenience but why specifically seek her out (twice)? What is it about their upbringings that had them so okay with the situation? Was it a childhood connection or shared interests in the same world? Even unreciprocated pining would have been a predictable but understandable reason.
All in all, I still recommend this book for a solid low angst Noelle Adams read but wish that it had been fleshed out more.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
