Introduced as high school enemies; years later FMC is blackmailed into dating the MMC which turns into full fledged fake dating & to love.
Pick it if you want to read a book about romance but not fully romance; & a story about a billionaire who is trying to do whatever he wants.
I completely went in blind just by reading the blurb; I had no clue about the author or her previous books. In fact, I was assumed this was the debut book of the author. After completing it, I saw who the author was & realised I have seen quite a lot of her books in book insta but unfortunately I was not able to connect with them.
Anyway this was the first book I read, written by Sophie Lark.
As I said, went in without expectations; so even though it turned out to be bit disappointing, it was a okaish read.
Theo is well talented chef but working as full fledged PA for a world class arrogant billionaire, in the hopes of him helping her to start a restaurant. She has a secret which might end her career. We get to see glimpses into her high school life where she definitely didn't stand out much. Other than that, we get to see her being optimistic, bit quirky & so loyal.
Sullvian comes off a responsible son & brother; with his own issues due to the trauma their family carries. He sees a way, he takes it; and in a very charming way he does that. He has a goal & his principal to achieve the same, which he strongly believes in.
Theo & Sullivan's relationship starts as a facade, and slowly progresses to little moments of affection, care, friendship & love. It really started off good, with cute & sassy banters. But instead of building the chemistry between the MCs, I felt the book went off track trying to focus on other storylines. And definitely it was not blended well with the important romance plot.
At one point I felt, I was reading a book about Agnus & his endeavours.
And another thing that definitely didn't work out for me was, the twin movie thing. It was not me :/
I'm not sure I will be picking up anything by her as of now. But maybe in the future if the synopsis seemed interesting enough.
