I really loved this book! A perfect summer read that I was able to fly through. I’m a sucker for a tropical island setting, and while I’m not normally into a marriage for convenience trope, this book had me hooked! I loved the chemistry and build up between Anna and Liam, and it was interesting to read not only a heartwarming romance, but to also see a bit of money/power dynamics within rich families. With a heart-throb male lead, a beautiful setting, and a story different than what I’ve read in the past, this was my perfect beach read! My only complaint would be some of the cringy language used, like “Goddamn” in the place of ~something else~ and “lol” used normally in a sentence. Other than that, a great read for my few days on the beach!
