Iris and Declan have a forced proximity work relationship which turns to arranged marriage of convenience 🤭 I love these tropes and they were done really well. I love the banter the two characters had and their spicy scenes. 

I loved the voice actors for this audiobook and I think the plot itself was much better than the fine print. Iris was a great FMC and was very enjoyable to listen about. I think her struggles with parental abuse and dyslexia were handled with care and added to her character. 

Idk about Declan but something about the Kane boys I just can't get behind.... Like ok they have an asshole dad but a wonderful mother who just passed away too soon. It feels a bit extreme for the way he acts, especially in the 3rd act and his harsh words. IMO, there wasnt enough grovelling at the end to fix what he did so late in the story .. 

While I enjoyed the ending
with the dog and the greenhouse, then the epilogues with their babygirl and the graduation party,
- but again it felt rushed to forgive and conclude the book. Overall 4/5 and I'm sad by library doesn't have the audiobook for #3 but I'll read it!
