I really enjoyed this book. I feel the ending was a bit rushed. It just seemed everything tied together very quickly.

This was my first read by Vikki Jay and I enjoyed it! The story was definitely interesting and pulled you along for Zach and Hope’s love story!
Zach seemed content with his life as it was until a chance encounter with a little boy completely changes his priorities. Hope is a single mom doing her best until Zach comes barreling into her world like a freight train filled with promises.

The Teager family has been one of my favorite. Zach Teager has been the funny no relationship man. I knew when he found his woman his world was going to be turned upside. I did not expect Hope and her son Ray to be it. This story was a wonderful read and read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. I need to know everything. I can't wait for Zane's story next.

This was a book about a single mom who enters a contractual marriage with a billionaire.
They have some of the sweetest moments together, but you also learn more of their backstory on why they believe what they believe and who they are.
This is my first book by this author so now I need to get to reading the past books in this series and enjoy the rest of the characters!
Good book!

Vikki does not disappoint! This is the fourth book I’ve read by Vikki and I can’t decided which of the books are my favourite since they are all THAT good. This book features another one of the Teager brothers and this book is so charming and funny. Hope is so lovable and relatable trying to raise her son and take care of her family. Their romance isn’t linear or predictable and leaves a reader rooting for them the whole way. I can’t wait for the next books in this series!

Marrying Hope is the 3rd book in The Teager Family series and this one is about middle brother Zach and Hope. Hope is a single mom struggling under the weight of her responsibilities to care for her ailing mother, her young son and her job as a baker. Zach is struggling with his own trauma from his childhood and feeling a sense of loss until he meets Ray one day. Ray is the spitting image of Zach as a young child and he feels an overwhelming need to protect and provide for him and his mother, Hope. What started out as a marriage of convenience turns into something neither Zach nor Hope could predict.

Hope’s story is heartbreaking and tells you of her caring strength and perseverance selflessly putting others before herself. Like all the Teager brothers, Zach has suffered a terrible trauma growing up, and he thought he was coping but he really wasn’t. With Hope, everything Zach thought he knew about himself began to change- his feelings, his outlook on life and his desire to care for someone else. Hope and Zach form a special connection and you can see their affection for each other clearly. Also, Ray is adorable and the bond he shares with Zach is amazing!

The Teager Family is close so you get life updates on everyone. In true Rose fashion, it took awhile for her to warm up to Hope but once she did you could feel the level balance of the whole family be restored. Zane, the youngest Teager, will finally have his story told later this year and I can’t wait to read it!


Thank you @vikkijayauthor for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback!

Marrying Hope is the third addition in the Teager Family series and can be read as a standalone. ❤

Zach has had a really rough upbringing and it has definitely affected how he lives his life. Hope at first isn’t keen on Zach’s presence in her life but she accepts his marriage of convenience offer to make sure that her son Ray is taken care of.

I really like the progression of Hope and Zach’s story and how it didn’t feel too rushed. I also loved reading about Zach with Ray and how he took care of him.

This book was really good and well-written! I haven’t read many marriage of convenience books but this one may have swayed my opinion to read more!
