When she tells her fake fiance "I bet my whole Black Diamond salary that me standing here has affected you."

Seconds later she gets a notification that he's deposited a million dollars in her account

I had back to back exams last week and all I wanted was a 'no thoughts, wattpad-esque' book to get out of my life slump. So you can see, I was going in with no expectations. This book still managed to disappoint me. It felt like the author was listening to 'all-american b*****' while writing this book with amount the times she described the fmc as an 'all American girl'. Like girl- come on. If I had to summarize the fmc in one sentence, I would use her own words because I couldn't say it any better than she did:
"I’m a doormat."
At least she's self aware I guess?
(Spoilers ahead)
I don't get the timeline. I don't get the point of time skips. I don't get where the girl in the front seat that the fmc set up with the mmc went through out the book. At one point it was just trope after trope thrown together.
Terrible dad and sick mom? check.
Controlling mmc who ends his call with the president for her (what even)? check. 
Stalker who kidnaps her? check.

Also why would you get the fmc kidnapped in the last 10 pages of the book only for the mmc and his squad to find her in 1 page. <Insert WHAT WAS THE REASON sound>

Anyways I finished it so I guess there's that. Good on Kee for exchanging a controlling, obsessive label for a controlling, obsessive man. Here's to being free!

This whole series is a lot of fun. There’s certain things you just have to be okay with when reading a romance series like the Hardy Billionaire Brothers. Just know that the MMC’s are going to be completely dominating and possessive. While the FMC’s are a little unsure of themselves even when they are successful in their chosen profession.

Between Never and Forever is no different. I love a fake dating/engagement trope. When Dex finds out that Kellani is going to get fake engaged for a PR move he intervenes. Dex is determined that if Kellani is getting engaged it's not going to be fake and it’s going to be to him.
