Imagine being a billionaire and having to get married and have a baby inorder to earn your inheritance and become CEO of your grandfather's company.... Declan understands the struggle. Unfortunately for him, he has no prospects for a wife so his assistant Iris has to find him one.

Iris found the fake wife but after just moments with Declan she quits. Leaving only one solution, Iris has to marry Declan.

These two have a spark that is ignoring between them and now they can't ignore it. Now that they are more.

"Well he might be considered cold to the rest of the world, he makes me burn."-Iris

At the ceremony they realize they were screwed.

"The kiss I shared with Iris in the church was electric. The kind that shouldn't feel as good as it did, given our circumstances." -Declan

In order to sell their fake marriage, Iris created a plan for them to fake date but that only makes them question every single touch they share.

"Our marriage might be fake, but these feelings burning inside of me or anything but. It's only a matter of time before I make her mind. She just doesn't know it yet." -Declan

Declan is an asshole and hurts Iris but thankfully he proves to her that he really does love her.

The book honestly had a slow start, although I still very much enjoyed it. Once I picked up the book, I couldn’t put it down

I enjoyed this one more than the last one. It got very good just before the half way point and I enjoyed the story from there. Declan Kane is a very attractive man ;))

Lo disfrute mucho. Me rei en varias partes en la que los personajes trataban de ser menos serios con lo que les estaba ocurriendo.

Si hubieron algunas partes que encontre repetitivas no afectaron la experiencia 🥰

Overall, I liked this couple better than than the previous book's. The troupe is marriage of convenience, and, yes, Declan is established as a very selfish character, so was this couple particularly healthy? No, but I wasn't expecting them to be. I wanted to be entertained and not cringe too much, and that was achieved. One major flaw with their relationship's progression was that it happened way too fast. There either should have been a pre-established recognition of attraction between the two, but it is repressed due to their working dynamic, or the pacing of the relationship and realization of feelings should have happened much more slowly. I liked Iris as a character (was not entirely sold on the narrator's voice, though: gave Carrigan from Casper vibes). The third act break-up makes sense for their characters, but I do think that fairly good communication had been established previously in the book, so a healthy conversation and then a united front to overcome their main professional obstacle (

Declan's father

) would have been preferred.

I enjoyed reading about Iris and Declan, I felt like they were a good match. I also loved Cal’s role in this story and can’t wait to read his story.

Loved hearing Iris and Declan’s love story. The build up of their relationship was very well done! The addition of their own secret language was lovely.
