This is exactly the story that Vlad deserved and Elena is the perfect match for him. Most of the tropes used in this book are not the ones that I gravitate towards, but they are executed so well that I was in love from page one.

Adams has an incredible way of combining comedy with serious topics and beautiful relationships - both platonically and romantically. One of the best part of these books are the healthy friendships that breakdown all of the gender stereotypes. The conversations that the men have with each other and the love they have for each other is just so healthy.

CW: death of parents, mentions of sex trafficking

Tropes: marriage of convenience, marriage in trouble, second chance, childhood friends to adult love

I am forever grateful to Berkley Romance and NetGalley for the free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
