West and Eden’s age gap, marriage of convenience story

I spent the night in jail for a protest and woke up married to my brother’s best friend.West Abbott is everything I stand against. Older, richer, and morally murky. And he’s also completely annoying. Not to mention unfairly attractive.So when I wake up with his ring on my finger, I make a simple plan. Annul the marriage and never, ever speak of it again.

Except West needs a wife to smooth out his next business deal, and our accidental Vegas wedding suddenly makes perfect sense on paper. To him, at least.

He thinks a fake marriage will be easy. He’s used to control, confidence, and getting his own way.

What he didn’t account for is me. His best friend’s stubborn little sister. A woman who refuses to follow his rules or believe his way is the right one.

Now we’re sharing a house, dodging my nosy family, and pretending the chemistry between us doesn’t sizzle every time we’re alone.

It does. And it burns.

I was only supposed to play wife long enough to keep his deal intact. I never meant to fall for the man who stands on the opposite side of everything I believe in.

But loving West Abbott doesn’t just risk my heart.

It risks my family. And there may be no way to choose him without losing them.

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

West is a hundred years older than Parker in every way. Sometimes I think he has a painting in an attic somewhere.

Gin works for me… It always leads to the best bad decisions.

Oh, Jesus on a pogo stick, I picked a bad time to be pregnant and unable to drink alcohol.

He spits the words out like he hates the way they taste.

My Review:

Ms. Elks has gifted us with another fun and amusing installment of the loud and chaotic Fitzgerald clan. As always, the writing style was engaging, smooth, perceptive, well-honed, enticing, and immersive. While the characters tend to be fractured and deeply flawed, they are still endearing, vibrant, and decent human beings worth knowing.

I have enjoyed every word of all three books and am eager to see what this crafty scribbler comes up with for the remaining siblings.
