Don't Kiss the Bride by Carian Cole
5.0

An age gap, marriage of convenience romance that is different from others that I have read and I loved every single moment of it.

Skylar is 18, she hasn’t had it easy in life and still continues to struggle through it. Jude owns a construction business and just so happens to be working on a project near Skylar’s school. Something about Skylar drew Jude in and Skylar was drawn to Jude.

I didn’t expect Skylar to be as strong as she was and I didn’t expect to love her character as much as I did. Though she is only 18 she had gone through so much in her life from her family, to mental health, to her own physical health, yet she never gave up, she kept fighting day to day to try to find a better life for herself and for her own health. Jude’s need to protect Skylar and look after her once he found out everything she had been going through was amazing, hence the marriage of convenience aspect of the story. Despite that age difference between the two of them, they formed a good friendship and everything felt so natural between them. There was some underlying chemistry and attraction, too.

Don’t Kiss the Bride is one to check out if you’re looking for an age gap, marriage of convenience that is full of emotions this is one to check out.
