Vows in Name Only by Naima Simone
5.0
Cain Farrell thought his father's death had released him from the old man's manipulation once and for all. But the reading of the will shows his father can exert control even from beyond the grave. Worse, Cain is blackmailed into agreeing to a marriage of convenience to protect his mother's reputation.
Devon Cole will do anything to protect those she loves—even go along with her father's blackmail scheme. She vows she won't fall for devilishly handsome Cain, especially since he blames her for his situation as much as he does her father. But the attraction between them can't be denied. Is she destined to lose her heart despite her best efforts, only for Cain to smash it?
Naima Simone is a master storyteller. The pacing of this story is tight, with no words wasted. The plot is passion-driven, with the insta-lust between the characters gently evolving into love, as much as they both try to resist it. The level of emotion is high throughout, with some adorable and heartfelt moments, especially with the kids at the community center. I wish we'd seen more of Cain's brothers, but of course they'll each get their own book—so I guess we have to wait for that!
If you're a Harlequin Desire fan, you'll want to read this book.
