3.0

No romance needs to be over 400 pages. This book was so long. It follows Margo and Beck in their Fiancee relationship (this is honestly fake for about 2 days) before they basically fall in love. The first 30% of this book takes place over like three days and is so painfully slow. It's a lot of back-and-forth fighting between the main couple because Beck thinks he's in control the whole time. After that, the next like 45% is Margo just hopping into the relationship, before it all blows up in her face. Honestly, if the pacing was better in the first 3rd of the book it'd easily get a better rating. 

Overall, it's perfect for people that like million/billionaire romances, but be wary of the fact that it can drag a little.
