Scoring a Spouse by Liz Lincoln
4.0

In this marriage of convenience romantic comedy, Erika and Nate are tasked with the impossible - pretend to be in love without actually falling in love. Neither of them want or have time for a serious relationship right now, but they both need to be married for their own reasons. So of course, a "fake" marriage sounds like it will solve all the problems, right?

I don't care if it's a predictable trope... it's still my favorite. You'll get me every time with a fake dating or marriage of convenience. There's something about the chemistry that's always there, just under the surface waiting to bubble over. And then once it does... holy hotness! The steamy scenes were fantastic, but so was the build up in their relationship. I also loved the friends each of them have and would love to see a series continue with more about them!

And I really enjoyed all the various types of rep in this book, diversity, chronic illness, LGBTQ+.
