Terms and Conditions by Lauren Asher
Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
A modern take on the “marriage of convenience/fake relationship” trope that requires only
slightly more than the usual suspension of disbelief. This seems like a solid formula for a good
romance when combined with the “grumpy/sunshine,” “terrible parents” and “secret disability”
tropes…but it is lacking a key ingredient: chemistry. Despite the higher spice factor and well
written scenes, these characters might as well be two cardboard cutouts. Lots of allusions to
pasts that might fill out the characters, but so many threads that get introduced go nowhere
and therefore don't add too much flavor. Add in that Declan is the perfect archetype of my
pet peeve: men who are not troubled, they are just stubborn and in need of therapy, and this
was not my favorite read.
