Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“C’mon wife. Play along.”
“Grief seems like a privilege, in a way,” she says. “To have loved someone so much that you can’t imagine life without them.”
“I live, laugh, love you too.”

Okay. I'm convinced. Liz Tomforde is a genius. How is this one a 5 ⭐️ too ??? She is a literal magician, and I have yet to be disappointed with anything she has written.
This book. This book. I don't know if I was prepared for Isaiah's story, but what can I say? I loved it!!! I absolutely love a good marriage of convenience, and I was certainly here for this one. Liz Tomforde did such a great job with plot, character, and relationship development in this book, as well as, weaving in characters from past books. I don't know how it could have been better.
These two characters. We have been waiting for this moment between Kennedy and Isaiah, and as I said, it did not disappoint. I enjoyed getting both Kennedy's and Isaiah's back stories. I felt like we had been waiting 3 books to hear their personal history, as well as, how they actually met. Their meeting was perfection. I also loved that we get to see a more vulnerable side to them both in this novel. It truly made me as a reader understand and connect with them better.
I enjoyed the route Liz takes in this book with the plot. I loved the banter. I loved the "teach me" moments. I loved Isaiah's encouragement and support in anything Kennedy did. I also, loved their playfulness with each other. They were literally perfect for each other, everything was chef's kiss.
Lastly, I am not an emotional person nor an emotional reader, but this book got me, especially during Kai's scene on the field! Did I cry? Yes. Yes I did. It really pulled at my heartsrings, and I loved getting that moment between Kai and Isaiah.
Overall, 10 out of 10 recommend!

But then it turned out to be a really fun read, mostly because
Isaiah is just so sweet, considerate and supportive of Kennedy once they're together. Doesn't make his prior advances appropriate but it's kind of hard to stay mad?!

I loved it all, Kennedy breaking down her walls slowly for Isiah while coming to the realization that she’s falling for her husband.
