Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Anders is know for her asshole Heros and semi strong heroines but there’s a limit. Yeah, I’m gonna be in the minority here and that’s ok. I can’t even call the MMC and FMC a Hero, heroine, or even by their names. Even then though he still treats her like crap for some additional time before he gets it together. No, it takes the death and a letter from the grave to wake up this FMC and actually get her to get her ass out the door. Y’all, he flat out told her he didn’t even like her so there was no way he was ever going to love her…on their wedding day! Like, WTH and I suppose to get over that?!! This isn’t the Unwanted Wife where the apologies and groveling started in the first few chapters. It’s also really hard to like a FMC who talks a really big game about leaving but even at 70% it’s clear she isn’t going anywhere and that she’ll constantly allow him to treat her like shit. So, it’s really hard to redeem a MMC who repeatedly demeans the FMC for over 70% of the book. ***ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review*** I will say that the book flagged a little for me at about 77% (it lost a little bit of its angst/tension), but I really enjoyed it overall. I really enjoyed Ben and Lilah's history together and the glimpses we got into their shared past (and that's coming from someone who usually hates flashbacks). It's rife with so much potential and usually comes with so many other added elements I love, e.g., forced proximity, angst, asshole leading male, etc.Īnd this book definitely delivered on so many fronts. When I saw the blurb for this, I was pretty excited. There is almost a nostalgic quality to it for me that I love.
Her style is contemporary, but she has a classic romance novel feel to her writing that I just really click with. Since then, I've read pretty much all her books (outside of one short story and one anomaly DNF). I've loved Natasha Anders ever since first reading The Unwanted Wife (one of my all-time favorite books) back in 2014 or so. Reasons he’s hiding behind a wall of secrets, half-truths, and blatant lies.Īnd when that wall comes tumbling down, Lilah is emotionally unprepared to deal with the further devastation and heartbreak that follow. He has his own reasons for marrying Lilah. Ben, however, seems perfectly content to remain tethered to her in a loveless union for all eternity. But her much-loved grandfather is ecstatic about the union and to avoid disappointing him, Lilah informs Ben that she’ll play at being his wife for one year only. To preserve her heart and her sanity, Lilah knows that she cannot allow this sham of a marriage to continue. He married her for all the wrong reasons and now expects her to be satisfied with the scraps of affection and attention he throws her way. Lilah discovers that her new husband does not love her he barely even likes her. She eagerly accepts his proposal, but on her wedding day, all expectations of a happily ever after with the love of her life come crashing to her feet. She’s been in love with him for years and now, finally, it looks like those feelings are reciprocated.
