Christina Laurenโ€™s last three books have been auto-buys and near immediate 5-star reads from me. Itโ€™s easy to say the duo is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

But when he turns up on her doorstep half a decade later, she realizes theyโ€™re still married - and he needs her help convincing his family theyโ€™ve been together this whole time at a his sisterโ€™s destination wedding.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: I have no negative words to say about this book.

Anna was an incredibly fun character to read. Liamโ€ฆ from the absolute get go I was waiting to see him thaw. I loved her fish out of water routine, and chuckled so many times I think I fell in love with her.

But it wasnโ€™t just that. It was the incredible writing that made me feel like I was on a rich islandโ€ฆ the subplot that made my heart acheโ€ฆ the scenes that were so beautifully told I could see them in my mindโ€™s eyeโ€ฆ it was all done really well.

If I had nothing but time, Iโ€™d dig deep into Christina Laurenโ€™s backlist, because I just love how this duo tells a story.
