I did not like this. This book was so chaotic. I never thought a romance book could have too many tropes but this one did: marriage of convenience, single parent, fake dating, forced proximity, second chance, childhood friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, “my wife”, pregnancy trope (not main characters but still). And all the while this is while the kids are TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD? I enjoyed this series when I read it last year but coming back to it for THIS was a huge letdown.
