Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for this advanced audiobook copy. The narration was amazing. Maeve York and Benjamin Sands truly brought both this story and these characters to life while evoking the desired emotions.
I loved the entire premise of this story with the exception of two factors, which honestly, are two of the issues contributing to most of the conflict within the story. So I understand and appreciate why they were used, however they weren't my favourite plot devices.
*spoilers ahead about those two plot devices*
I have read one other book where there was concern post-hook-up that the two main characters may be biologically related, except they're so drawn and attracted to each other that they can barely restrain themselves from jumping one another's bones even though they know there is a chance they are related. Obviously we know this isn't the type of book where they would end up actually being related, so as a reader I know they're not related while reading along, however - this still isn't my favourite plot device to develop tension and create some physical space between the characters after they have already hooked-up.
The other plot device I didn't love was the fact that he had agreed to considering a marriage of convenience with another woman and continued to keep that option open even when he was clearly falling for the MMC.
That said, I really loved the mystery surrounding who the FMC's father was. I had a theory on who he was and was way off base. I love a book that can surprise me. I also adored the cameo's from Archer, Brea, Travis and Haven and how they were tied into the story.
