It was fine. The first half gut me into a reading slump but the second was kind of good. I mean I can’t complain, I got it for free and I heard it’s the „worst“ out of the series. It’s definitely the worst cover, who is this man?
I didn’t laugh that much but it was ok for passing the time. 
Don’t know what else to say. I liked his protective povs. 
Still excited for the others.

Just a smutty contemporary. Not a bad read at all

cheyenney's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 65%

I only read this book so that I could read the next book in the series and honestly this book turned me off of the whole series entirely 😭 up until I dnf'ed, there was no character development and I didn't care about the characters or their relationship. also, I hated how they went from barely disliking each other to only thinking about sex bc WTH that was so unrealistic and I also was never convinced that they actually didn't like each other in the beginning bc there was no real reason. writing wise, the timeline and pacing of the story felt really weird, to the point where I went to goodreads just to see if anyone felt the same. everything felt so rushed and also dragged at the same time and not a single event in the book actually felt fully fleshed out.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST why did emmett keep ambushing the girl with the next step in the fake relationship without consulting her at all??? and why did she keep going along with it????? it felt like emmett just got a power trip or something every time he saw someone react positively to the fake relationship and then needed to immediately take the whole ruse a step further instead of just keeping their relationship as is and making it more believable. anyways this book was not the worst book ever but was generally just a waste of time and uninteresting.

It was what I needed, a cute funny romance with some smut scenes that were mostly good (there's some repetitions, and for a short book, this could've been better). I liked the couple, Avery and Emmet, the fake marriage plot wasn't forced, the falling in love was a bit rushed (I don't know about elections in Canada, but a mayor campaign in Brazil takes more time), but I liked the banter and their chemistry. The plot is focused 98% on the main couple, so there's a lot of tell, and not show, like the friendship between Emmett and Will. There's some plots that could've been explored deeper, like Emmett doing everything for his family and needing someone there for him, and Avery's relationship with her mother, but maybe the author didn't want to write an emotional romance, and it's ok, this was a good time, I'll read the others in the series.
