This book felt like a warm hug. I really loved it. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I wasn't reading it, it was such a fun read and I'm glad I got it when it was on sale!

I really loved this slow burn, marriage of convenience, grumpy/sunshine love story. I think a lot of people may be annoyed because of the very slow burn but it was just. So. Good!!

There is suppose to be a romance book about Zac that in strongly considering picking up because I need it. 

I did find that the repeating of words from the FMC was very annoying and could have easily been cut out. We also don't need to be reminded every 5 pages of how large he is, and his muscles lol. 🤣 I. Get. It. 

Otherwise, a fun romance I would recommend.

A good old Slow burn romance is my favorite trope, so I was so excited to pick this up, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely adored Vanessa and Aiden’s relationship. Trauma is heavily mentioned in the novel, so be sure to check trigger warnings before reading!!
