I loved the blurb for this book and thought I'd give it a chance. I love marriages of convenience that turn into something more. Let me tell you....this story does not disappoint. Fair warning...this first book ended with a cliffhanger, but at least the next two books come out within the next 4 weeks. Noah is the typical cocky, alpha playboy. His late father was half owner of Tate & Cane Enterprises but according to his father's will, he must marry his partner's daughter, Olivia, in order to inherit his half of the company. Noah has known Olivia his whole life and has always had a crush on her, but she hasn't shown any interest in him since their teenage years. Olivia Cane is an awesome character. She is such a great, strong female character. I loved how she would put Noah in his place. The company is going through some difficult times and Olivia knows she will need to marry Noah to provide a common front but she is still hesitant...so she decides they should date. Her dad decides to get them an "engagement" present...a new apartment with only one bedroom! I loved how these two had to try to navigate being together. There was such great humor as well as great sexual chemistry brewing. Just as the two decide to finally get married....BAM....cliffhanger! I loved this first part so much I've gone and pre-ordered the next two parts. I can't wait to see these two get their happy ending.

I paid but havent been able to read it - the display is incorrect. Very small text. Useless as I read on my cellphone. Kindly refund. I have read many of Kendall's books, but don't think I'll take another chance at buying these books as I feel you owe me my money back! 😠

The fate of the family business lies squarely on the shoulders of a love - hate relationship. Noah lives his life by a love-em and leave-em motto. His heart does not factor into the equation. Olivia has dealt with her share of tragedy and heartache. Too smart to expose herself to anymore pain, she distances herself from emotional entanglements. With the family business in trouble can an ironclad will and two matchmaking fathers prove the catalyst for romance? I was pleasantly surprised. Kendall Ryan had me falling in love with Olivia and Noah almost right away. There is more beneath the surface than either realize. I loved the dual first person accounts. Hearing in their own words about insecurities and secret emotions humanized the characters and made it easier to be empathetic instead of judgmental. Tantalizing and habit-forming.
