Book Details
Description
I’m destined to become the next CEO of my family’s media empire.
The only problem? My grandfather’s inheritance clause.
Fulfilling his dying wish of getting married and having an heir seemed impossible until my assistant volunteers for the job.
Our marriage was supposed to be the perfect solution to my biggest problem.
But the more we act in love for the public, the more unsure I feel about our contract.
Caring about Iris was never part of the deal.
Especially not when breaking her heart is inevitable.
Iris
My plan to marry Declan was simple in theory.
Move in together. Throw a wedding. Have a baby.
We set rules to prevent any kind of issues.
Ones that were never meant to be broken, no matter how much Declan tempts me.
But what happens when our fake relationship bleeds into our real one?
Falling in love was never an option.
At least not for me.

This was a buddy read with 2 of my best good friends :)4.5OMG Declan is just the perfect MMC in my opinion. Now while I do love Iris and I really do she just misses the top spot for fave FMC in this series to Zahra but Declan in my top MMC in this series by far.While the fake marriage troupe isn't one I usually enjoy. This one was so fun and enjoyable and Iris's interactions with Declan were perfect. He needed someone that wasn't afraid of him. Now why she isn't in my top spot is because Declan really tried to open up to her even when you could see how uncomfortable it made him. I love the things he did for her that she didn't know about when she was just his assistant. To me that showed he cared for much longer than he was willing to admit.The other thing I loved in this book was Iris's friendship with Cal, Declan and Rowan's brother. They had such a sibling relationship and it was so cute seeing Declan get jealous over Cal doing things with Iris lol.Now the conflict at the end was completely avoidable by both Declan and Iris if they had just communicated. That bit is what knocked it down from being a 5 star. There was other ways to cause conflict and for me this one was done in a way I don't think either character would have done at this point in the book.I would highly recommend this book, after reading Fine Pint obviously lol
You know a book is good when you feel sad because it ended. I loved everything about this, their secret little words, how she stands up for her self, how he admits his wrongs and grovels. Just ugh I love it so much and I was lucky enough to meet lauren and have it signed before I read it. I'm so glad I did because I loved it just as much as I thought I would.
Banter! Swoony! Grumpy!I have loved everything I've read from Lauren Asher and this is no different. The banter in this book is second to none. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Declan and Iris. I put off reading this one thinking it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but boy was I wrong. It blew them away! Everything about this book was absolutely wonderful! From the plot to the character development to the side characters, everything was smooth and effortless. And can we talk about how swoony the grovelling is?!
