MY REVIEW
Paisley's at the end of her rope when she encounters childhood friend, Caspian, and he gives her an unorthodox proposal - marry him for a year, fake being in love, and out of the deal she'll receive a million bucks and a penthouse. She can do it, right? She'll do anything for her mother, to pay for her mother's medical care, so she'll be able to do this. First up, though, keep her heart out of the way of Caspian's grasp, though, because the man isn't known for commitment, love, or even decency. She'll have to keep her distance and do her best and hope that knowing her mom is set will be enough comfort after a year, because the tornado that is Caspian is sure to leave her flattened.
The marriage of convenience trope is all kinds of fun, especially when the heroine is strong with a backbone like Paisley. She knew she deserved better than to be manipulated and treated terribly like Caspian treated her, and did what a strong woman would do. I always cheer on when heroines (and heroes) demand to be treated the way everyone should be, especially by someone who's supposed to care about them. I didn't like Caspian - he's an alphahole with no redeeming qualities and didn't grovel at all when he should have, and Paisley could have done far better, but the story is entertaining, steamy, and fun.
