Although to be fair I'm not sure when this book was published in regards to Zapatas.Īnyway, this book didn't do it for me. Or maybe I was just hoping for a less detailed version of From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. I thought it was going to be a light romance with enemies to lovers plot line with a cute dash of language barrier problems. I spent about 5 bucks to read this on my Kindle. Therefore, this book will receive five stars. There wasn't any major issues and this book left me really happy and rooting for the couple. I enjoyed her characters and the writing. My first read of Madison's book really set the bar high. They were an old married couple before they even got married, which is funny because they weren't even aware. The moments with them alone is incredibly sweet. What is hilarious and awesome is that both of them try to suppress their feelings thinking that the other doesn't have feelings. There is tension and both of them have feelings for each other. Of course, why would this even be a marriage of convenience if there is no romance? I love the chemistry and the slow pace love between Nikolas and Brandi. Madison makes Brandi's quirks and personality traits make her an awesome person. Most authors make their heroines so stubborn that it gets extremely annoying. When her previous partner quits, she does not go on a rampage. I love that she does not bully people and is kind. She is feisty and takes no crap from people. He is stuck with his limited English and attempts to do so, which he successfully does. His patience and trust makes him a great hero. His most selfless moment is when he lies to Brandi he is gay, so she is comfortable with him Nikolas has flaws, but they make him better. He is considerate and never pushes Brandi. When we read his thoughts, you can literally see how good at heart he is. I love the way he cares for Brandi and attempts to care for her. He is sweet, caring, and just about perfect.


The way Madison wrote the POV demonstrated that they were well developed and how there was a ton of angst. I love the third person point of view, but switching between the two characters. The writing and plot line was great in this book. Well, my hopes were high and I was excited to read this book. After reading the Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Marina Zapata, I was craving for a marriage of convenience where there the hero and heroine fall in love.
