UGH! Y'all, this book. So good! I can't stop, won't stop giving 5 stars to Devney Perry. I thought this was a great read with plenty of LOL moments, the best banter, and probably the spiciest book yet in this series. 

The character development in this book was 10/10. Jasper and Eloise were made for one another even though they didn't know it at first. What started as a drunk night in Vegas ended up being the best move for both of them. I loved their relationship and Jasper killed me when he said ๐Ÿšฎ with the divorce papers LOL.

Okay I enjoyed it a lot, I love Eloise and Jasper both. I was a little thrown with the whole ex wife stuff for Jasper and how open relationships were portrayed a bit and why Jasper really would have a relationship with her after all of that to go to a wedding. It was just not 100% believable. 

I also wish we had a bit more build to their relationship that we saw.

A delightful, diverting bit of smut! Small town with a little jet set moment, fake marriage + โ€œthatโ€™s my wife + very steamy scenes. A treat! 

(Check for content warnings, but want to note the infidelity is not between the main characters!)

After Fosters fight in Vegas, a very drunk Eloise and Jasper get married. Eloise is worried because she has been working to prove herself to her parents and if they find out she thinks they will take the hotel from her. Jasper and Eloise agree to a quick annulment, but it turns out that is easier said then done.
They end up striking a deal, Jasper needs a date to his ex's wedding and Eloise wants to prove to her parents that she is responsible. So, they would stick it out for a few months and then sign the divorce papers once they get back from the wedding.


I love the Edens series so much. I wasn't sure what to think of Eloise as she was presented in the previous books. She came off as a bit naive, but really she just has such a big heart and wants to see the best in everyone. Her family is so important to her and she struggled to understand why Jasper was so uncomfortable around her family. 

I wasn't sure how to feel about Jasper at first. He was so closed off and had a complete inability to communicate with Eloise.  Once he opened up to Eloise and we learned about his story, his behaviour made a lot of sense.
His parents completely sucked. They never showed him any kind of love, so he was pretty much on his own, until he met Sam. Sam and Jasper grew up together and we're each other's first for pretty much everything. She crushed him, then over the years she continued to manipulate him and play mind games. He could never shake her, that was until Eloise came into his life. 

There were a few things that I thought were unnecessary in the book - the shooting and Lyla being so mad. I thought the shooting was a little over the top and he could have proven himself in so many other ways. Lyla and Jasper rarely interacted in the other books, so her reaction was overblown.


I really loved them together. Jasper wasn't much of a talker, but he showed his feelings for Eloise in other ways and he was incredibly protective of her. I loved watching them grow together and their relationship develop. 

Grumpy x sunshine, marriage of convenience.
