SYNOPSIS
After their grandfather died, the Kane brothers received a letter from him outlining what each needs to be accomplished in order to receive their inheritance. For 25 billion and being named CEO, Declan, the oldest, must marry someone and have a child. Declan’s assistant Iris has worked tirelessly in order to find a woman willing to sign a marriage contract and marry Declan in exchange for money. Declan scares each one off, the most recent one being the day that the engagement announcement was to take place. With people waiting, and no fiancée, Cal, Declan’s brother, suggests Iris steps in. She does and now she and Declan are due to get married and stay together for at least three years. What could possibly happen?
RECAP AND REVIEW
This standalone book is the second in the Dreamland series. It is told in a dual perspective by Declan and Iris. It’s a workplace romance with a marriage of convenience and an age gap.
Declan has a similar sort of intensity and disengagement with reality that Rowan has, but I enjoyed him infinitely more. He seems to have a better understanding of himself and comes to a breakthrough at the end. I love self awareness.
I enjoyed the pacing and all the dynamics that were going on here. From Iris also hating Declan’s father to her family meeting Declan to Cal and Iris as besties. Even the business relationship with Mr. Yakura was interesting and served a greater purpose.
I enjoyed the workplace aspect of it, which I didn’t like in the first book. Iris brought up great points and the way it played out made sense and was necessary. Declan and Iris have a chemistry and banter that I love to read in romance books.
The way the first book was tied in was great. The end of this book made me emotional. Iris’s mom had wise words and Declan put thought into how to get her back after the third act breakup.
OVERALL
Overall, I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I was hopeful because I’ve heard great things about this one, and I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve been in a slump and their love story had me smiling and wanting to continue on.
