Dallas just wants a little fling before she marries the man her father has arranged for her. Romeo seems to want the same thing with her & he’s hot as hell, what could go wrong?

“If you had to change yourself to be accepted, you didn’t need that person in your life in the first place. Because it wasn’t you they wanted to be with. It was their version of you.”

the_jessmarie's review against another edition

I didn't realize this book was mostly smut with a little plot and that's just not my thing. Once we got to the toothbrush after he practically assaulted her (very dubious concent) and crossed into intolerable, toxic alfa male, I tapped out. Definitely not for me. A shame, too, because I was enjoying the silly, fun plot line, minus the smut.
