Everything was going OK I wasn’t really in love with a story, but I was OK with reading it, but as it continued, it, just feel more and more into a meh kind of vibe.
Until finally, at the last 94 pages, I was just really over the storyline. Everything felt a little bit too far-fetched in the grand scheme of their relationship, especially the before.
And there really was no good justice dealt to Carter that I felt was needed and even his scandal wasn’t like bad per se.
So while I can see you how other people can really fall in love with this book, this was just not for me.

Margo Moretti & Beckham Sinclair.
What a couple, what a book. It’s been a while since I’ve been this enamored with a book that I haven’t been able to put it down. When I wasn’t reading, I was thinking about this book. While I was reading, I never wanted it to end. This is my first book by Kat and it’s safe to say, I’m a fan.
More about the book itself though:
The opening of the book is our FMC Margo working for a lower level security company in LA, when her ex-boyfriends older brother shows up to the office wanting speak with her about something. He confesses that he bought the company she’s working for just for the chance to talk to her about this grand scheme he needs her help with. Basically, he needs a fake fiancé to placate the board of investors at his company who are upset that he’s recently been called out in the media for being a “playboy” & that he’s getting bad press to begin with (mostly to convince them he’s settled down by playing his fake fiancé for a year)
Despite their original reasoning for joining forces, the connection between them has been brewing for longer than they’re both willing to admit. It’s easy to see from even their first interactions that Margo is incredibly responsive to Beck, in all ways. And though he likes to act like every bit of the stoic billionaire, Beck is just as affected by her. The tension between these two is palpable, and had me on the edge of my proverbial seat until they finally gave in.
And lord when that rubber band finally snapped… 🥵
I love an angsty give-in to what the MC’s have been denying themselves of for pretty much half the book. It makes the pay off that. much. better.
And believe me when I say, it’s good. like 4/5 🌶️ good. Beck has a dirty mouth, and loves to taunt Margo every chance he gets. They’re both very vocal 😅
Outside of the bedroom, their banter is witty and comical at times. I love these two characters and I’m thankful to Kat for sharing them with us!
READ. THIS. BOOK.

No romance needs to be over 400 pages. This book was so long. It follows Margo and Beck in their Fiancee relationship (this is honestly fake for about 2 days) before they basically fall in love. The first 30% of this book takes place over like three days and is so painfully slow. It's a lot of back-and-forth fighting between the main couple because Beck thinks he's in control the whole time. After that, the next like 45% is Margo just hopping into the relationship, before it all blows up in her face. Honestly, if the pacing was better in the first 3rd of the book it'd easily get a better rating.
Overall, it's perfect for people that like million/billionaire romances, but be wary of the fact that it can drag a little.
