Mortgage Of Convenience by Dani McLean

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!
I think this is a case of a romance book that simply isn't my style. There's nothing objectively wrong with it but the simplicity of the story, the instant gratification of the romance and the perfect HEA didn't appeal enough to me to make this book something special.
I think my biggest gripe is the setup: I just simply don't find the joint house venture believable with zero conversation beforehand, nor did it make sense to me that Bee did it in exchange for... confidence lessons? I'm still unclear honestly. It's a fun setup and probably would have appealed to me with more development but in this context I was more confused than amused.
The humour was good and helped carry through the plot at a quick pace. The fact that the MCs had past history did help immensely with the chemistry, and I enjoyed the sex scenes more for this, but ultimately I felt like everything ran too smoothly (or if it didn't, the roadblock felt convenient rather than a legitimate hurdle to overcome)

"I need words. The kind that go in a row. Or a sentence, because I'm a good writer who remembers words well and isn't thinking about how full I felt with Sebastian's fingers inside me."
