This book was really good!
Firstly I loved the main characters - Margo and Beck, I loved their chemistry, their banta and how their relationships blossomed. I liked how Beck fell first and had been interested in her for years! I enjoyed the memory flashbacks of them it added to the story.

I thought the book had a great amount of spice - like multiple chapters in a row going on to strong detail, it was done really well and didn’t come across as too much.

The little drama at the end was a little underwhelming but it did make the book more of a positive read which was nice. I enjoyed how Margo decided to take her dreams into her own hands and do something for herself rather than wait for the opportunity it made her stronger.

I loved the happy ending, this book was really easy to read and was enjoyable from start to finish. I recommend to any romance lover!

I read this book for a book club I just joined. I have been on a full romantasy fix for about 3 years now so switching it up and reading a billionaire/millionaire story was a big change.

I give this 3 stars because the story was fine. I have no complaints about the writing, the main characters, or the story. It just fell flat for me bc it had no adventure and no saving anyone. But that’s me.

You’ll love this book if you: 

⭐️ Billionaire Romance
⭐️ Fake relationships 
⭐️ He falls first
⭐️ One bed
⭐️ Ex’s brother

 i feel like the mmc love bombed her and they didn’t really have an emotional connection just a physical connection even though his protectiveness was top tier

It was okay. Not the best. Definitely a dupe of various other books and included random plot lines to increase the word count. But overal, 2/5

So good! All the spice and dirty talk! Ex boyfriends brother, he falls first. What more could you want!

DNF at 52%

I may circle back but sadly, this was neither swoony enough, nor sexy enough for me personally, to keep going after the 50% mark and I’m so sad about it

This book was super sexy. If you enjoy ceo billionaire tropes this one will not disappoint you. This has a different feel than the controlling 50 shades vibe, which I appreciated because I've found many ceo billionaire books fall into the same character development as 50, but that's boring, I appreciated that Beck wasn't the same as the rest. I quite enjoyed Margo and I loved the name for the character too. Overall it's a solid 4 from me, lots of hot steamy scenes and the plot was interesting enough to carry the rest of it. Well done!
