The "Fake Relationship" trope is one of my all time favorites, so I requested this book right away.
The amazing bits:
- Plus sized main characters, which is referenced, but not focused upon.
- My favorite kind of MMC- Professional nerd on the street, sleeper agent freak in the sheets.
- Low angst conflict, there is a minor third act blip, but it resolves quickly.
- The spice was spicy, like even hotter because it was well written. At least twice I made this face 🫢 and had to put the book down while I basked in the glory of Stein's writing.
The questionable bits:
- You have to really suspend that belief. The series of events and "facts" that had to happen to make this "fake marriage while at a criminally romantic retreat" happen is a stretch even by fiction standards.
- At first blush the characters are not super tolerable or even into each other. The chemistry really doesn't smolder until a bit later on, so you do have to have faith.
