4.0

Is it just me or fake relationship troupe are always so fun?? I think I like them because of the honesty. The two people go into it knowing they are using one another. As always there are unexpected emotional connections, physical attractions, and blurred lines. With that said this will never get old.

For those who are not familiar with the Svensson series, your first intro to Liam is him being a selfish, arrogant asshat. He comes around and has many redeeming moments and is very protective of Karlie.

Karlie is super submissive and is constantly being victimized by her "friends" and family. It reminded me of how people treated Evan's little sister in Alina's Bridezillas and Billionaires book, where in my review I called out the bullying. She's awkward and anything that can go wrong does go wrong with her.

I liked that she wasn't down on her luck. A lot of times there seems to be a trend of these women needing to be saved. While Karlie isn't super successful, she comes from money, isn't homeless, and has a support system. Her relationship with her dad is so sweet.

Super excited that a Richmond brother was featured, fingers crossed a cross over series with them is in the works. We get more Crawford (he's soo freaking hot) and of course Belle and Greg interactions.

I really liked this book. I highlighted so many funny moments. Karlie isn't my favorite female lead out of the brothers series but she was someone I felt protective of. I think the constant bullying was present to help us understand her insecurity and difficulty believing she was worthy.

Liam's little sister Kiki was cut but not as present as the other sisters had been in the other books. She was just more of a background character as many of the little brothers are in the Harrogate series. Not a bad thing but would have liked to see interactions.

Overall, I am happy with this book and will continue to read this series as it's entertaining and fun.
