This was a sexy, low angst read. The blurb completely caught me and Ms. Covington delivered. I really liked Sarina and understood her reticence with committing. Justin was relatable. I loved the addition of Nana Orla and how she interacted with Justin and Sarina. This was a lovely story that I can recommend.

Thank you to Robin for the opportunity to review this Advanced Copy.
✨Justin Ling is one half of the billionaire duo behind RedHawk/Ling and happens to have a love of poker and women. That’s exactly how he finds himself married to his best friend’s sister after a drunk night in Vegas. Sarina RedHawk has been running for quite awhile and it looks like it’s finally caught up to her. When she met Justin, she had no idea he knew her long lost brother or that she’d be facing him again after she disappeared the morning after their wedding. They both agree that it’s best for all parties involved if they get the marriage annulled quickly and secretly, but what happens when fate has other plans?✨
✨Robin Covington is quickly becoming a must read author for me and the fact that she’s an Indigenous/Native American author just makes me love her even more. ✨
✨We were given a glimpse of Justin and Sarina in Taking on the Billionaire, but it still did not prepare me for how much I would love these two together. They’re literal opposites, thrust together but alcohol, Vegas, and family. One thing I loved about this is that we were able to explore both Sarina and Justin’s past. Though they grew up very differently, both have feelings of not being enough and never wanting to be alone or a burden. Sarina has spent most of her life in the foster system after being stolen from her family by non-Indigenous social workers and Justin is constantly being seen as a disappointment by his family. Both avoid deep personal connections because of this and so watching them open up was amazing. Once again, we have a cast of side characters that you can’t help but to love and steamy scenes that’ll me your toes curl and temperatures rise. This is definitely a book you don’t want to miss so get your hands on it when it’s released on 2/1!✨
