SO GOOD. army man who’s “damaged” from being in the military and everyone treats him like an injured puppy, walking on egg shells around him, UNTIL HER. she doesn’t take his shit and doesn’t treat him like he’s damaged. she’s got her own baggage too, a 17ft trailer full, and he has a proposition that she can’t refuse. fake marriage, age gap, hot sexy military man, and hot sexy bartender have some of the best chemistry i’ve read in a while. finished in ONE day and i’m still kicking my feet and giggling over it ☺️🫢
