One of my favorite tropes of all time is marriage of convenience/arranged marriage. So while I liked the overall premise of this story, I struggled with some of the things that happened. It started off pretty strong where the FMC was hellbent on getting divorced. But after a while, she let up and fell right in line. She should've ignored the MMC, especially after he locked her in their panic room for seven hours. And then he sent her friend back home to the US after one day of her being town. The MMC also injected the FMC with a tracker and birth control without her knowledge. That would've lost my trust in him completely. He had his reasons but then maybe he shouldn't have married the FMC and wanted to sleep with the FMC so badly.
Aside from those things, there were a couple laugh-out-loud scenes with the couple trying to get each other to want a divorce. I really enjoyed those. And the spice? Some of it kinda caught me off guard (just stuff I'm not used to reading) but still good and spicy.
Oh and also, the surprise pregnancy shocked me. I kept reading and thinking it wasn't going to happen but then I was still at like 80% of the book. The MMC did not want children whatsoever- he wouldn't budge on his decision because of his past. Idk how I felt about the pregnancy since the MMC really didn't want to have kids. Some of the trickery in this book, idk how they are still trusting of each other after this.

I won this book in a giveaway on Facebook and I am so glad I did. These two loathe each other and do not even know each other. This is a forced marriage that neither of them want. I mean let's start with the De Vil Dynasty, that name is so fire. Alexander is so hot and he has so much anger inside. I feel he did not know where or how to direct it. It was understandable though. Imogen was such a strong FMC and I felt for her. She needed her people so badly. The two of them together, when neither of them wanted to be, made for all the angst. They were trying so hard to infuriate the other.
I could see the second things started to shift. I loved watching this completely unfold. I loved every second of this. I thought this book was so intense. I think I read it in two days. I loved Delaney's writing. This was a huge enemies to lovers and that is my favorite. I thought this author did it so well. I had this at a four and I just changed it to five stars because I remember it so well. When a book stays with me like this one did it deserves 5!
Plus+ I completely fell for the De Vil siblings. I am really hoping we get to see more of them. I am ready for book 2!

We end on a cliff hanger. Extremely quick read. Not a big build they end up together fairly quickly.
