A forced arranged marriage based on contracts between ceo and his partner's long lost daughter (✿ ♡‿♡)
Pick it up if you want to read a decent billionaire romance with so many characters & plot lines; that also has a sensitive topic discussed.
To be honest, I really thought I would like this book because when I read the synopsis it felt like my kind of read. A relationship story of perfect combination of a strong FMC & a possessive MMC; both equally stubborn (≧▽≦)
It literally had everything to be a great book
Fake/ Arranged Marriage ✅
So much of Angst ✅
Can't literally stand each other ✅
He melting for her ✅
But from the start I really felt something was not in place.
Everly is one of the strongest FMC I have read. She stands tall amidst all the circumstances & considering her past. She chooses herself every time, that made me actually admire her more. She was really a one of a kind ♥️
Declan Hardy is a typical billionaire, so confident and arrogant in what he wants. He is retired NFL player turned CEO who has values & loves his family from the glimpses we get in between the pages ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Everly & Declan's relationship is as complicated as it gets. He just can't resist her, someone who is definitely not from his world that intrigues him & pulls him towards her. Unfortunately for the same reason she tries hard to stay away but can't. The chemistry was on and off between them, which I feel was the problem. And at a point the storyline of the contract didn't fit properly which should have fueled their relationship.
I felt this to be 3.5 read for me but second half of the book changed my rating for discussing something so important.
And there were many plot lines that felt unfinished.
Honestly I'm not able to pin point what was wrong in terms of writing, but it didn't reach me like it was supposed to.
Overall, a potential to be great read that felt under cooked at many points that ended up making it a decent read.
And I'm gonna to pick up the next one in the series hoping the 2nd one of the series is always much better than the 1st one 🤞🏻
