This book turned out just as I thought it would it was. I loved how selfless Solitaire was doing everything she can to keep her family above water and in school. I thought it was interesting how they dealt with their whole marriage of convenience thing but I do feel like that romance bit of it was rushed. I was hoping for a bit more when it came to the romance this book. I think this book would've been better if it was a bit longer that way things wouldn't have felt to rushed.

A sweet "arranged marriage that turns into forever" story! A fast paced read involving a man who doesn't think love and forever belong in his life who stumbles across a dreamer of a gal who teaches him that it's never too late to start over! An entertaining read with minimum strife and a fitting happy ever after.

Solitaire Saunders is just desperate enough to do just about anything to save her family's cafe. She has more responsibilities on her shoulder than anyone can imagine, so she can't add one more thing to the list or she will crumble. A rare request from a virtual stranger might seem extreme ... but she'll do it if it means her family will be taken care of!

Xavier McQueen isn't heartless, and he doesn't mean to make Soli's life difficult, but business is business ... however, when she offers just the right incentive, he's willing to listen! He needs a temporary, no strings wife in order to secure his inheritance, and if she's willing to become his wife under those terms, they've got themselves a deal! Only neither of them expected to feel the chemistry and attraction to each other that comes about.

This book is definitely worth reading.The story line is wonderfully written and the characters are portrayed in such a way that the reader can really put themselves in their shoes. Christy McKellen has woven an intricate tale that keeps you hooked as you wonder if its truly a marriage of convenience or a hard won HEA. I cannot wait to read more from this author. I received this ARC via NetGalley and I am voluntarily writing the review for this book. All opinions are honest and only my own. Regards: Anna

A sweet, fun, aspirational read with a satisfying conclusion. I loved this modern twist on the classic marriage of convenience trope. Soli and Xavier brought out the best in each other, and it was delightful to 'watch' them change and grow as the story progressed.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the complimentary advance copy.

This was a cute read but I feel as I read this story over & over again....
