This was such a cute and engaging story with one of my favorite tropes as of late - a marriage of convenience between strangers that eventually become lovers!
It was really nicely paced, and the characters I found myself rooting for them. Piper was just plain adorable and James? Oh my goodness I loved him but with Piper he was just so much better.
I really couldn't put this one down!
Thanks to NetGalley for the Arc!

This book truly moved me!
One of my top reads for 2024 and I just gobbled it up.
I loved how the author focused on the growth of both characters and the growth of their relationship. I also appreciated how they were older and in the middle of their careers.
I couldn't put the book down at all.

I adored this book. The spice was good, but the characters were precious - and I adored every bit of James wooing and falling for Piper!

Adorable meet cute!
Most of this story is fun and lighthearted, but there's a deeper level to the MMCs motivation and I'm here for it!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! This steamy, sweet and heartfelt romance was so well written. It was funny, emotional, witty and really tugged at the heartstrings. I couldn't put this down, I was rooting for these two lovebirds throughout every page and interaction.
What did I love:
- Dual POV (sometimes you need to see inside each character's head, because what they say and do has so much more meaning when you understand the 'why')
- Banter! Chemistry!
- The pacing of this was perfect, and the plot and romance worked hand-in-hand - neither took a back seat and they were seamlessly interwoven without becoming boring or making the reader lose track of what was going on.
- James - you sweeet, caregiver, warm man. James SHOWS his love, he takes care of people, he reads people. He doesn't make assumptions, he is emotionally intelligent, and just a wonderfully written MMC.
- Piper - complicated, traumatized but strong, phoenix Piper. Funny, hardworking, trying to really love and break down the walls she understandably built around her heart. She is smart, caring and the pure embodiment of sunshine. I loved her instantly.
Many many thanks to NetGalley, Mallory Thomas and Thomas Books for the ARC. This my unbiased and honest review.
