She needs a groom now and there’s
only one choice: her boss! Step into the drama of this marriage of convenience
romance by USA TODAY bestselling author Natalie Anderson.
“You need to get married today?
Then you can marry me...”
Today is not only Darcie Milne’s last day working for her insufferable yet infuriatingly handsome boss, billionaire Elias Greyson...it’s also her wedding day! She must marry to take custody of her orphaned goddaughter but, after arriving at the registry office, Darcie finds herself without her convenient groom.
Renowned businessman Elias’s solution: he’ll wed his irreplaceable assistant – immediately! After all, taking a bride will help him secure an important contract. But then their first eye-opening kiss as man and wife suggests this marriage arrangement may not stay strictly professional...
My Review:
I must admit that Natalie Anderson has
never disappointed me with her books, including this. Furthermore I have always
been fond of her writing and tropes. This marriage of convenience with a boss
and a secretary brought me into wonderful and powerful drama.
Darcie Milne works for Elias Grayson as his practical, efficient and multitalented secretary but when Darcie doesn’t turn up for important business deal, Elias, who could control his emotion in perfect ways, is mad at his secretary. Therefore when Darcie appears in his office not wearing her usual attire, he is stunned and even more shocked when she informs him that she quits. Darcie has tried to be professional when she works with Elias, she never puts any emotional attachment, and neither does Elias. Yet when possessive and jealous Elias hears that Darcie is going to marry, he is provoked then he marries her.
Their past has made who they are now. Darcie has always been alone thus when she has the slightest chance of adopting her goddaughter, she would do anything including marry the demanding ex-boss. Meanwhile Elias, he is afraid of becoming controlling and demanding. Through their marriage journey, I absorbed very different characters compared to what Darcie and Elias claimed. I loved when Elias couldn’t control his desire towards Darcie and he demands her to let him kiss her, it was so romantically compelling.
If you are in need of marriage of convenient trope, it is absolutely for you. It is filled with truly compelling characters, fiery moments, sexual tension and intense drama. Thank you, Natalie Anderson for this ARC which I voluntary reviewed.
