Oh ho ho. This was a really good read. Funny, real slow-burn, strangers-to-friends-to-lovers and marriage of convenience? Sign. Me. Up. 

My chief complaint is that I wanted to spend more time with Vanessa and Aiden after they got together. I'm really glad there was no third-act-breakup - I'm honestly tired of this trope. 

Would highly recommend for adult romance fans. 

Spice level: 🌶🌶.5 (one detailed scene; one semi-detailed scene)

My other complaint is the epilogue. Now, this is more of a personal opinion and not something that would make the book better necessarily. I don't like kids. I like kids in books even less, especially when my characters have said kids. That's the only reason I didn't like the epilogue. It was short, yes, and sweet. But it had kids.
