I've heard mixed reviews leading up to reading this, and I'm so glad that I liked this book! I found the book couple very cute and I enjoyed and believed their romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the character Tansy. She felt very comforting and very relatable. The romance is not slow-burn, they are interested in each other pretty quickly which normally I don't like. However, this book seems to flip the script on marriages of convenience and I really enjoyed the way their relationship developed pretty early on and throughout the book. There was a small third act breakup and I genuinely felt there was little miscommunication because both characters showed they cared and miscommunication was very small.
One thing that bothered me was the writing. It did feel a bit juvenile for an adult book, with very cringy jokes and sayings occasionally. There is a scene in a board meeting that felt EXTREMELY unrealistic, but that's probably just due to me drawing on my own experience in comparison.
