The Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho was so good I didn’t want to put it down. If you like books about possessive MC, age gap, touch her and die, second chance romance then you will love this book.
Declan a playboy wanted to take over his father’s company, so they agreed Declan would marry the woman his father chose in a handshake agreement. Years later he meets Anne one of Sara’s best friends and he knows he’s met the one.
Anne Oyin is a beautiful and strong woman who works hard and can do it on her own. She is close to family especially her twin brother, takes in her best friend’s son after she passes, and her best friend/roommate Yinka. I love Yinka she’s the bff everyone wants.
They are about to get married when his father puts a stop to it immediately telling Declan to stay away from Anne or her life will be in danger. He has to stop all communication with her and she has no idea why. When he find a chance to get back to her he stops at nothing to make that happen and getting vengeance on everyone who came in between them.
I really enjoyed this book and the story. Loved how Declan fell in love with every part of Anne and how Anne didn’t make it easy for Declan putting her foot down when needed. My complaint about this book is the timeline and the ending. You knew time had passed in the book but you were never told how much. Things were happening you thought in real time only to realize that months or years have passed. I just wish the timeline between all of these instances was better established. Other than that I enjoyed this book. I hope to get to read more of Akinosho’s books. Thank you to Passion Author Services and A. Akinosho for this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.
