Absolutely adored! Christina Lauren always blows it out of the water, and this was no exception. I absolutely loved the characters, their backstory, their connection….and the setting was just wonderful. This will be a popular summer read!

Christina Lauren is one of my go to authors. The Paradise Problem didn't resonate with me the way other books by them usually do. I liked the premise of the story but I never felt the chemistry between the characters. It was mostly drama and it felt like the romance was secondary.

Christina Lauren is back with The Paradise Problem and boy did they do it again. When grocery store heir Liam Weston needs help he reaches out to his down-on-her-luck wife Anna Green. What unfolds is a hot, hot, hot story about overcoming bad family dynamics and finding love in the most unexpected place. With a Pretty Woman feel mixed with Crazy Rich Asian vibes this story will have you laughing and rooting for Liam and Anna throughout. I loved that the authors didn't make Anna a shrinking violet and that she held fast to her beliefs and who she was while growing as a character.
The Paradise Problem is another winner and I highly recommend it.

Christina Lauren never disappoints! Their writing always makes me laugh and the chemistry developed between the main characters is always tender and wraps me up in a hug. I'm slowly getting tired of MCs that are extremely wealthy, but I think they managed to make this scenario feel real. This definitely had a Crazy Rich Asians but Americans vibes, with a marriage of conenvience thrown in. I read this in a day I was so absorbed in the story! 4.5 stars

This one legitimately made me laugh out loud so many times. Thank you, NetGalley for this hilarious arc by some of my favorite authors!

I absolutely loved this book! I’m a huge fan of Christina Lauren and they did not disappoint with this new release! I devoured this one so quickly! I loved the characters and couldn’t wait to find out how the story would end. Would highly recommend!

This one is hot hot hot!! Christina Lauren does not miss. The Paradise Problem is a delightful escape, with hilarious banter, heartfelt connection between multiple characters not just the FMC and MMC, and simmering chemistry. I loved Liam and Anna, cannot wait to introduce them to our readers, a perfect summer read.

This book reminded me why I enjoy these authors so much. The set-up is perfect for a romcom, and the main characters are likable and flirty. The relationship has equal moments of sweet romance and spicy interactions. I would happily read more books in this universe, and I highly recommend this one.

**Thank you so much to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for allowing me to read this ARC.**

This was a very cute romance novel! I loved the development of the relationship between Anna and Liam. They fell in love in paradise, but there were some problems along the way. This was a really enjoyable read for me and I will definitely be recommending it to my library for purchase and to patrons! I have really enjoyed all of the Christina Lauren books I have read so far!

This is such a great take on fake marriage / marriage of convenience. Anna and West had a deal to be married for a year, then go there separate ways. Things didn’t go as plan and West enlist Anna’s help 3 years later. Honestly I don’t want to give more than that since the small twist at the beginning are what sucked me in. Highly suggest for fans of Christina Lauren’s previous work, or fans of Emily Henry or Abby Jimenez.

Rating: 5/5
Spice: 3/5 (easy to skip for closed door readers)

Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books for the eARC to review.

If Succession and Romance had a baby, it would be The Paradise Problem. Rich people problems are some of my favorite stories to read, and this did not disappoint. Thank you, Christina Lauren, for another hit! Thanks to netgalley for the ARC!

I was expecting another man uses women to trick family into thinking they were together plot but this hook had a lot more than that. Christina Lauren is always able to tie everything up in a neat little bow by the end of the book. This will make a great summer read in 2024.

This was by far my favorite Christina Lauren book. I really enjoyed how, although there was some miscommunication, it was all vocalized and wasn’t frustrating as a reader.

You just can't go wrong with a Christina Lauren book 😍

You generally know what you're going to get when you are reading the fake dating trope. The Paradise Problem does not disappoint.
The setting was beautiful- A private island in Indonesia. I loved the description of this natural island based on conservation and the dissonance of the over the top indulgence and gluttony of the wedding. CLo can really paint a picture.
The characters were fabulous and really felt like real people (that I'd like to know!)

A must read for rom-com fans!

Thanks to Netgalley and the Gallery books for an early copy for review!

I absolutely love Christina Lauren! I always feel connected to the characters so quickly, and this book is no exception. Anna is a struggling artist and West(Liam) is a wealthy trust fund kid who doesn’t want the family that is attached to the money. What’s the connection? They were married almost 5 years ago to get access to “family housing”, and now need to convince his family that their marriage is real in order to claim the full inheritance. The book is dripping with sexual chemistry, and the spicy scenes are HOT. Every scene, sexy or otherwise, paints a picture in your mind with beautifully written details. I read this book in under 24 hours because I just couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for CL’s next book! Highly recommend!

*A sincere thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing the advance copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.*

Christina Lauren does it AGAIN! This romance was full of summer vibes and will be the perfect beach read. I loved the chemistry, the banter, the humor and the setting. I thought this was a fun play on grumpy vs. sunshine and marriage of convenience tropes. Thank y0u Atria and Netgalley for my copy!

This was such a fun book! As with all the CLo books, the characters were very real, human people and I felt by the end of the book like we wanted to be friends. I love that one thing constantly mentioned in this book was the wealth gap and how insane it was, and no spoilers, but the ending made me really happy. I also like that after the third act the falling action and resolution didn’t feel rushed, but instead felt complete. Another winner from Christina Lauren!

First, thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for this ARC of The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren.

If you like Christina Lauren, a good marriage of convenience trope, and know what it is like to live like a normal person with real problems, you will enjoy this book. The eat the rich vibes were delightful, and I couldn't put this one down.

Christina Lauren did it again! These two create characters that I fall in love with every single time. This book has a very “Pretty Woman” feel without the prostitution! Liam and Anna are faking being married so he can receive his inheritance and they have to fool his family at his sister’s lavish wedding on a private island. What they succeed at is making the reader fall in love with their banter and antics! This one is fantastic! 5 stars!

I would rate this a 4.5. It pulled me out of a reading slump and I finished it in 2 days. Loved the island setting and pretty woman references. Would love to see this in a. Movie.
