A really fun book, with great banter and an exciting plot. I would have liked to see the main characters’ relationship develop more, and the last 30% or so wrapped up too tidily and conveniently for my taste.
Gosh, I loved this book!! It’s clever and sexy and adorable. It’s a little bit The Hating Game, it’s a little bit You Between the Lines, but it’s still a totally unique story (and set in Australia, which is uncommon in romance and was wonderful). Sadie and Jonah are longtime academic rivals who engage in a marriage of convenience for career reasons, and you can guess how that works out for them.
What I really liked about this book is that even though you have to suspend a little bit of disbelief as with any romance novel, ultimately the characters did have valid external reasons to make the decisions they did. McAlister did a great job of developing their characters and helping us understand their motivations. We get to see their relationship evolving and deepening over a very long period of time, and it makes the payoff even more satisfying.
The side characters were also great and added to the story/character development. I finished the book desperate to read sequels about three other possible couples in this world, and I really hope McAlister writes them.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
