 - Everybody was right, this book is so good! Xeni is a fantastic heroine, giving as good as she gets while also being a truly loving and thoughtful person, and Mason is just the same.
- I thought this modern twist on the marriage of convenience trope was so delightful. The premise is ridiculous and every character in the book knows it and rolls with it.
- Additionally, both leads are bisexual, and they have some good discussions about biphobia. I loved that even though they were a hetero couple they were still openly queer, and have some wonderfully queer and fulfilling sex, too.
