Honestly this book was okay, I enjoyed it while reading it but it wasn't super memorable. Basically your typical billionaire marriage of convenience book with a toxic MMC alphahole. 

What you get: 

- marriage of convenience 
- age gap romance
- bestfriends brother
- brothers enemy 

If you're in the mooder for a darker "I own you" type romance where the MMC can't make up his mind and just be happy then you'll probably enjoy this one!

I absolutely devoured this book in one day. 

Once I started I just couldn't put it down. It had me laughing, giggling and kicking my feet, absolutely fuming with anger- basically an emotional rollercoaster! 

Honestly this book had it all for me:

- He falls first
- Forced proximity
- Friends to lovers
- BANTER! 
- Slow burn

If you're looking for a super bingeable romantic comedy, definitely recommend checking this one out!

Went into this book expecting to love it, but honestly found it pretty average.

Roman also just gave me the biggest "ick" vibes from start to finish.

If you haven't read a ton of romance books you may really enjoy this but once you know there's better out there it's hard to settle.
