I have been so excited about Eloise’s story, as she’s definitely so underestimated in previous books - by her family, not me! We know very little about Jasper but this book starts off perfectly to introduce his character and how we come to his and Eloise’s marriage if convenience. I adored this book. I loved the characters, the setting, and the passionate, heartfelt story. It’s beautifully written, and I felt so much while reading, and it’s my favourite of the series so far.

One thing that did bug me though was Eloise's parents. I understand that they didn't want her to be taken advantage of by others, but I definitely agreed with Jasper about how they treated her. Whilst they may not have been doing it deliberately, it clearly affected Eloise enough to make her feel like she wasn't enough and even though Jasper might not have expressed it in the best way every-time, it was sweet to see him trying to be on her side. Overall, reading is a valuable and enriching activity that can provide many benefits. Whether you read for pleasure, personal growth, or professional development, the time spent reading is never wasted. I loved the mystery element of the story. I love that it's not predictable and really kept you guessing until the final revelations. I also loved the relationship between Winn and Griff. Winnie is no push over and she doesn't take any of Griff's attitude. But it also doesn't take long for their chemistry to push past all of their boundaries and man was it satisfying to see Griff's possessive side show through. I don’t know who you are or what you’re doing, but I’m having a conversation with Winnie,” Skyler said, standing taller.You’re feeling a little bit like you can’t compete with his ex — he jets you off to dream location for a reminder how special you are ✔️ Winn is another strong female character with Griffin being her grumpy counterpart. I loved their relationship, it was really sweet and developed nicely from casual to serious. This is more insta-loveish, but in the cutest way. It´s one of those where he tries to tell himself that he doesn´t have feelings for her but falls even harder every time he sees her. Heat level: Alright. They have some tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.

Jasper Vale and Eloise get drunk in vegas and decide to get married but instead of divoricing they stay together for a few months...why you ask?? She doesn't want to seem irresposible in front of her parents and he needs a date to his ex's wedding in Italy. They have to live under the same roof to really sell the fake marriage thing. I relate to female characters who don't have any unnecessary quirky traits, who are assertive, hard-working and reasonable. Her inner dialogues were super easy to follow and it was such a smooth ride.
