I enjoyed this book after reading All Rhodes Lead Here and now this one i truly do love this author’s book her books or at least these two that I’ve read so far have good men he don’t have bad communication skills when talking to there partner especially during arguments they try to talk it out these books are slow burn the wall of Winnipeg and me is more of a slow burn then All Rhodes Lead Here i love these books there long and there so amazing i loved how Aiden cared for Vanessa’s well being and really just her they were such a good couple and i loved how when she quit the job he came to her home multiple times after that to beg her back and I enjoyed even more how there wasn’t some heartbreaking dramatic as can be break up in this book and especially the ending i was very satisfied about there complete 😉family😉 in the epilogue this will most definitely not be my last read from the author Mariana Zapata overall i rated this book a five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh ho ho. This was a really good read. Funny, real slow-burn, strangers-to-friends-to-lovers and marriage of convenience? Sign. Me. Up. 

My chief complaint is that I wanted to spend more time with Vanessa and Aiden after they got together. I'm really glad there was no third-act-breakup - I'm honestly tired of this trope. 

Would highly recommend for adult romance fans. 

Spice level: 🌶🌶.5 (one detailed scene; one semi-detailed scene)

My other complaint is the epilogue. Now, this is more of a personal opinion and not something that would make the book better necessarily. I don't like kids. I like kids in books even less, especially when my characters have said kids. That's the only reason I didn't like the epilogue. It was short, yes, and sweet. But it had kids.

Enjoyable but I wasn't swept away in it. 
It was a solid slowburn, reasonably heartfelt.
