4.0

An Unlikely Proposal combines two of my favourite tropes—marriage of convenience and best friends to more—and proves that marrying your best friend can become complicated when you’re not actually in love with each other! Then again, maybe it would have been less complicated if they hadn’t been so determined NOT to fall in love with each other! Because apart from being best friends, Omar and Trinity have each loved and lost in some form, so a big part of their journey was overcoming their fear of being hurt again.

As always, Shiloh weaves a strong faith thread through her story, and the addition of Omar’s two little girls ups the cute factor considerably and adds an element of unpredictability to Omar and Trinity’s new relationship status. I couldn’t help but sympathise with Trinity as she jumped headfirst into fulltime care of Omar’s girls—Trinity, I give YOU a head nod in solidarity! Battle ready!

A heart-warming contemporary romance full of family life and growing in faith and love.

I received a copy of this novel from the author. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.
