3.5 stars.
A marriage of convenience romance with a pining hero who is jealous (in a restrained way) - basically a Noelle Adams classic. Savannah and Lance are both pretty guarded characters, so it was sweet to see them be earnest after their walls came down. This book also includes some praise kink (lots of encouraging vibes without actually saying ‘good girl’).
However I do wish the story didn’t spend so much time on Savannah’s money hang ups (she and Lance grew up in the same town, but he was rich and she was poor). It got so much airtime and became her whole personality, which made the story drag a little in the middle.
Overall an enjoyable read but not one of my favourite.

This marriage of convenience was not anything like I’ve read before! Savannah and Lance have known each other for years and don’t exactly get along. At the start of this story, the couple has been married for quite a few months already and Savannah is looking forward to the end of their arrangement. However, a family wedding brings about some changes between Lance and Savannah and exactly where their relationship stands.
I loved the banter between the two of them, snarky yet fun and still on the serious side. But when their relationship takes a more intimate turn, everything changes. Even though it takes a while, you see why both Lance and Savannah act the way they do and finally get the real story on their feelings for each other. Overall, an enjoyable read!

Our beloved heroine Savannah is the most obnoxious, self-righteous and unlikeable person I've read about in ages. There is no way in this world or any other that any man would find her charming or likable and certainly not lovable. She is just plain awful! She feels more like the villain of this story than anything else. Is she 100% wrong about the things she says? No BUT essentially she has only one opinion and that is that rich people are terrible human beings because they have money and she doesn't. She is just so hateful and despicable towards the male MC it's unbelievable. The more I read about her the more I hated her and IMHO no sane person could love her like that. All her snarky remarks are so annoying, bossy and rude. She constantly puts Lance down and barely treats him like a person with feelings (Oh sorry my mistake, he is rich - he has no feelings...). She really just treats him like a D she likes to F.

Such a sweet romantic story and it includes one of my favorite cheesy tropes, a marriage of convenience. I think this is my favorite that I read by Noelle Adams.

I did like the overall romance between Lance and Savannah, but I don't really like how it developed. Definitely not my favorite by this author.

It's okay.
No other woman drama.
Other man drama as Hero is jealous but nothing is going on.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
No cheating.
HEA.
