This was a great summer read and a fun second book in the series. Cannot wait for the third!

Absolutely ADORED Cash and Everly's story - everyone knows I'm an absolutely slut for Marriage of Convenience books and this one delivered. Add in a little sprinkle of second chance and "my wife" energy and I was sold. I love how supportive the Staffords are (and scheming! In, you know, a loving way!). Cash's years-long pining, Everly's love and support of him, his 'ride or die' mentality were all just *chef's kiss*.

Looking forward to book 3!


Marriage of convenience at its sexiest! The chemistry between Cash and Everly was off the carts. I loved every time he called her “wifey” but I absolutely melted with her “my husband”! This had all of the high points-childhood friends, he falls first, marriage pact, only one bed, shower scene, no third act break up…seriously…it hits all the marks!

 
I really enjoy Ann Einerson’s books and this one was defnitely one of my favorites. This was the book I started after losing someone who meant a lot to me and could barely focus on reading a book for a while. I don’t think I could’ve picked a better one to get back into it.

The characters were sweet and warm, the story had me laughing out loud at their witty banter. Their playful teasing is pure entertainment, and the sexual tension was through the roof. 

Everly a bit grumpy and closed off, Cash is an absolute sunshine. Always love a reversed gumpy x sunshine trope. Cash is an amazing MMC, for sure a book boyfriend. He's possessive, thoughtful, and just jumps headfirst into the marriage with no real reservations. He is everything Everly needed and didn't know. Same for Everly as she truly sees Cash for who he is. She fights for him but also ends up fighting for herself. They really worked together and ended up in an happily ever after.

That I enjoy the Aspen Grove series is an understatement and I really can’t wait to read Harrison & Fallon's book!

I love a good accidental Vegas marriage story! I also am a sucker for a broken MMC. The story was great, and I liked it just as much as the first book! The characters were wonderful, it was predictable, but I didn’t mind that in the slightest! Sweet, spicy, and heartfelt!

I really enjoyed this book and have been enjoying the series. The Stafford family is so much fun and I loved reading Cash and Everly’s story. I loved when Cash stood up to Richard and Landon in protective mode of Everly, but watching Everly stand up to Richard at the end was amazing!

DID NOT FINISH: 77%

Just got a bit too steamy and it was too much to skip :/
However I was really enjoying the rest of the story. 

✨ accidental marriage - marriage of convenience
✨ brothers best friend
✨ childhood friends to lovers - always been her
✨ acts of service
✨ billionaire

Cash has always loved Everly even when she was off limits as his best friends sister and when they finally see each other after 14 years apart, Cash suggested they get married to fulfill their marriage pact made when they were 17 years old. Drunk and in Vegas they get married only to find out that their companies could be at risk of it’s found out their marriage is fake. In order for Everly to keep her job they have to act like the newlyweds they are, and Cash gets to finally convince the girl he’s always wanted to want him back.

I love love love love love everything about this. This is the story I’ve been searching for. This story was sweet, it was fluffy, it was spicy, it was heartwarming and it had the best my wife moments. The tension between these two was strong from the very first page and I love that instantly these two were hot with jealousy for each other. Cash was a playboy, always having a good time and not taking much serious until he found Everly and suddenly that life style isn’t what he wants. I love that Cash found someone who gave him the confidence to be himself and to look at himself and see someone he loves staring back at him regardless of how his scar made him feel. And Everly has spent her whole life knowing relationships can’t last until Cash blows in and shows her what love really is.

Aside from all their adorable moments we get the best family side characters of meddling mothers and brothers that add that something extra to this story that had me invested in not only Cash and Everly but the Stafford family as a whole.

This is definitely a book you want to bump up your TBR and just enjoy this book and all the goodness that comes in between. A hot billionaire who spoils his girl with a closet of shoes, finger banging in public, enough “my wife” scenes to leave you hot and bothered, adorable acts of service to make your heart melt right onto the pages.
