Good use of the marriage of convenience trope. I liked the main characters and their dynamic. Always a fan of a burly/non traditional book MMC and nice bi representation as a part of the story. The plot was far fetched and the pacing could have done with some work but it was an enjoyable and different read! Felt like there was a lot going on in the story but the romance cut through it.
