Declan
I’m destined to become the next CEO of my family’s media empire.
The only problem? My grandfather’s inheritance clause.
Fulfilling his dying wish of getting married and having an heir seemed impossible until my assistant volunteers for the job.
Our marriage was supposed to be the perfect solution to my biggest problem.
But the more we act in love for the public, the more unsure I feel about our contract.
Caring about Iris was never part of the deal.
Especially not when breaking her heart is inevitable.

Iris
My plan to marry Declan was simple in theory.
Move in together. Throw a wedding. Have a baby.
We set rules to prevent any kind of issues.
Ones that were never meant to be broken, no matter how much Declan tempts me.
But what happens when our fake relationship bleeds into our real one?
Falling in love was never an option.
At least not for me.

Review

I didn’t review The Fine Print, which is the first book in this series, but I did absolutely love it! Which is why I decided to continue with the series.

I love a good fake marriage troupe as much as the next reader, so I was excited to get started. I don’t think this book was anywhere as good as the first. For starters I didn’t really like Declan at all. Iris on the other hand was lovely and too good for him in my opinion.

The thing is this is a fairly long book, but it still felt like they fell in love way to fast for my liking. The thing I probably like the most was that Declan fell first which was a nice change of pace.  

I did enjoy the friendship between Iris and Cal. I also enjoyed the little snapshots we got of Rowan and Zahra.

Overall, this was an ok read, it was entertaining but nothing special.

My Rating:  3/5 🌟🌟🌟

Review

This book felt like it went on forever, which normally not a bad thing but it just felt unnecessarily long.

It’s clear from the start of the story that both Cal and Alana never stopped loving each other. So, for the most part of the story its Cal trying to win back Alana’s trust. In my opinion he should have gone to rehab way sooner and then when he finally did there was no depth, we just had few time jumps until the 30 days were over and he’s almost magically fixed, it just felt a little rushed.

Alana was ok, I enjoyed her back story, I can totally see why she has issues with trusting Cal again.

Overall, this was a long book to get through, but it did keep me hooked until the last page.
