"I want all of you. I want to give you everything I have. There are no strings attached to what I'm offering. I just want you. I just want to love you."

Five years ago, Anna Green and William (Liam) Weston married to obtain affordable student housing. Two years after their marriage, they divorced and moved on with their lives (or so Anna thought). Three years later, Liam shows up to tell Anna that 1) they are still married, 2) Liam is the heir of the Weston Food conglomerate and 3) he needs a date to his sister's wedding. Liam explains that he found out about a clause in his inheritance from his grandfather, which states he will have full access to his trust after five years of marriage. Liam asks for Anna to come to a private, tropical island and pretend to be a married couple in exchange for money Anna desperately needs. Anna agrees, but soon discovers that Liam's family may not be something she wants to be a part of - but with inheritance and the company at stake, what choice does she have but to pretend to be the perfect wife?

The upcoming new release from Christina Lauren is everything you want from a marriage-of-convenience romcom. It has humor, heart, emotional moments, and swoony romance. I adored Anna - free-spirited, confident, and emotionally mature and handled herself extremely well within the complex Weston family dynamics. Liam was likable and kind, but his personality definitely hid a bit behind Anna's. I liked them together and the slow burn was truly perfection.
