First to Fall by Jenny B. Jones
5.0
Thank you to the author for the wonderful signed copy she sent me! All opinions are my own.
Olivia is the poster child for a type A personality. She has a 10 year plan and nothing will get in the way of her achieving her goals. Not even her college nemesis Lachlan Hayes. Even when she wakes up in Vegas and realizes she is somehow married to him! And when Lachlan proposes that they stay married because it will benefit both their careers, even though they despise each other, she agrees, because it helps with that 10 year plan. But as they fake their way through the relationship, they learn new sides of each other. So who will be the first to fall?
I will forever be grateful for Jenny B Jones introducing me to the works of indie sweet rom coms but I am also grateful to be an internet friend and a major fan girl. She is funny and charming and sincere as a person and that comes across as chemistry and sparkle on the page.
I think she is one of the best at weaving in character arcs where the characters are dealing with hard things into her funny and swoony books. They are books you can devour but they aren't just popcorn rom coms, they have feeling. And they have some scrumptious book boyfriends! This book in particular did the push and pull of enemies to lovers so well, paired with a marriage of convenience trope. The chemistry and flirtation just leapt off the pager.
This is a closed door, sweet rom com.
