The way that Alexandria writes just has me absolutely devouring her words. She has such a flare for the dramatic.
In this book we follow Truly (a best selling historical romance author) and Colin (divorce lawyer) definitely an unlikely pair for sure.
The book wastes no time grabbing your attention.On the first page Truly catches her fiancé cheating on her. And then her parents tell her that they're seperating. A whirlwind of emotions for sure.
Then enters Colin who achieves nothing but royally pissing Truly off in the beginning.I love how he won her over.
Colin was probably the highlight of this book for me. He's so thoughtful and kind.And not gonna lie I kind of love the way this man begs. My my does he do it WELL.
There were definitely lots of cringe moments though. The wholeparent trap situation gave me intense secondhand embarrassment. But I'm glad it worked out in the end.
I also really hated Colin's family (aside from his sister of course). They were all just so pretentious, entitled, and RUDE. I wanted to fist fight them all.I was so happy when Truly stood up for Colin.
The spice was fantastic, but no surprise there given its Alexandria Bellefleur. Definitely a great book to read with a friend (I did hi Brittany!).
Overall I really liked it and the ending was sweet.I loved that her parents renewed their vows. But I was so dissapointed that we didn't get to see the engagement. Especially since Truly was the one who proposed in her last relationship.
