Great book. as always Catherine Maura writes her characters so well with such good character development that you feel everything their feeling. The love story is a classic stranger/enemies to lovers marriage of convenience. 

The only thing that threw me off was the first scene we saw from Faye's perspective had physical abuse in it and that was very hard to read after Dion's chapter and without any back story or knowledge of Faye.

Cute story & I liked the characters 

BUT :
- Why was he always referring her as being tiny ?
- His trauma was a big thing at the beginning but all of a sudden it wasn't 
- The 3rd act breakup was unnecessary and didn't make sense especially with the way they made up
