3.75 stars

This was the first time reading this author but it won't be the last. From the moment that I saw the blurb of this story, my interest was piqued. I am always a sucker for a fake relationship and or best friends to lovers. In this case, I got both.

This is the first of the trilogy and seemed to set up the foundation of what is to come in the rest of the story. Emzee was a different heroine for me than usual. In this case, the best friend actually has always loved the other and wasn't just a convenience. I found myself questioning several times why she loved Ford because he didn't do much for me. In fact, I didn't connect with him at all. It felt like he capitalized on their friendship and her feelings to get things to go in his favor. I am hoping in the next book that he grows up a little and redeems himself because, at this point in the story, I think Emzee can do A LOT better.

All that aside, this was a good start to a trilogy. Book ones are generally a miss for me because they are setting so much of the story up. I am hoping that the trilogy grows and that I can connect with the characters better so that I can get invested in the story. It is for that reason that I rounded up from a 3.75 to 4 stars.

This was the second installment of Ford and Emzee's story. I struggled with certain parts in the first story, so it was nice to see that the story did grow, particularly Ford, and that I was able to find myself enjoying it even more than I was expecting.

I felt that this story did fit the title of the book well. Both Ford and Emzee grew as characters and in their relationship. Emzee thought she was hiding, in regard to her true feelings for Ford, behind the Lie of their relationship but it was apparent how this story would unfold. I wanted that to be a bit different and have some tension in the story.

I was surprised by the ending of the book but it did pave the way for a great conclusion coming up. Again, a great title for the way that this series is turning out.

Interesting storyline.
Heroine is only 18 but she is very childish at times.
Opening prologue is Hero and descriptive scene of sex with other woman who he intended to marry.
Lots of sex scenes with Hero and heroine.
Possessive, controlling Hero.
Cliffhanger end.


Spoiler.


There is a secret baby story involved at the end.
The secret baby story is different to a regular second chance, the mother of the child is not the heroine of the story.

You must read book 1 and 2 in order before reading this book.
The story follows on from book to book.

A mixed bag for me.
I enjoyed the main story, arranged marriage, controlling father.
But the virgin heroine who is throwing herself at the Hero who is turned down all the time was too much.
It has a lot of sex and dirty talk when they eventually get together and it gets very repetitive throughout the series, to me anyway.
Other woman drama.
The Hero is quite from he is only interested in the heroine.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.

The secret baby story is different to a regular second chance, the mother of the child is not the heroine of the story.



Spoiler...
It didn't seem brain surgery to ask for a DNA test considering the ex was a prostitute and his father was so scheming.

HEA. They are all happy even for the ex.
Epilogue.

Breadcrumbs dropped for brothers story.
