Honestly captivating. I didn’t love the ending feud—it’s quite annoying when the heroine tries to be honest and the hero refuses it…just to hear the same words from someone else (typically someone male) and realize his mistake. How about believing the girl you supposedly love instead of playing through this charade?! 

Beyond that, it was a great deal of fun! Sophie was so headstrong and brave and I loved her refusals to back down for proprieties sake. And Sesily was phenomenal. I love seeing her prior to Bombshell. She’s magnificent.

5.0

 I loved this book. The summary doesn't do it any kind of justice, but it's such a whirlwind that it's understandable. This book broke my heart and re-pieced it back together several times. Fake marriage, hurt/comfort, annoyances to lovers, an "ambiguous" (but totally obvious) bisexual male lead -- this book has it all. I ended up having to sit in a parking lot to finish reading this book cause I couldn't put it down. And the sexy scenes? WHEW. That's some spicy stuff right there. This woman knows what her readers want.
