Marrying Will Hardy is my worst nightmare… and my only hope.
How do you know you’ve hit rock bottom? Is it when the dance studio you’ve poured your heart and soul into starts to fall apart? What about when you cut your controlling, morally gray father out of your life? No, rock bottom is when your dad offers your dance studio a million dollars in exchange for one teensy, tiny you have to marry his client.
My dad has made his career and fortune playing fixer for the world’s most notorious white collar criminals—he deals in scandals. So when he wants me to marry his client, Will Hardy, Duke of Worcester, my answer is No. Absolutely not. Never. I’ll have it engraved on my I, Anna O’Hara, will never marry Will Hardy.
Even if I was willing to take anything from my dad (I’m not), or cared about marrying a high and mighty duke (I don’t), the man himself is impossible. Will Hardy is rude, judgmental, and infuriating. Also, let’s not my father’s client. Which means Will’s moral compass is as skewed as my dad’s is.
But the more I get to know him, the more I wonder if there’s more to that stern facade than he lets on. And when my hail mary to save the dance studio fails, I’m left with two equally horrifying truths.
Marrying Will Hardy is my only option. I may have accidentally fallen in love with him.
Anything, Everything is a full-length, standalone, closed-door novel with a guaranteed happy ending.
Bekah Overbey is a Christian, wife, mother, and incorrigible homebody. A former English teacher, she spends her days chasing after her three wildlings and [generally unsuccessfully] trying to keep them out of mischief.
If you’re not emotionally prepared to fall head-over-heels for a fictional man who is kind, patient, emotionally competent, & somehow funny without trying… consider this your warning. I picked up Anything, Everything thinking, Cute Valentine read. Low commitment. And instead ended up laughing out loud, swooning unapologetically, & fully in love with Will Hardy. Yes. That Will. Book boyfriend status: unlocked. 🤭
Bekah Overbey somehow pulled off a marriage-of-convenience romance that made my heart grow three sizes & my standards grow at least five. Anna is relatable, stubborn, & doing her absolute best. Will is… well. Will is the man who ruins you for others. Their dynamic is warm, witty, & emotionally rich—equal parts laugh-out-loud funny & quietly tender.
And the HUMOR. I was not prepared. There were actual moments I nearly spit out my drink because of a one-liner. Dry, unexpected, perfectly timed humor that sneaks up on you & then casually wrecks you.
WHAT I LOVED: 🤍 Will Hardy — He falls first. Certified perfect book boyfriend material 😂 Sharp, dry humor with genuinely funny one-liners 💍 Marriage-of-convenience that feels natural & heartfelt 🫶 Side characters who actually shine (Keeley & Lexi, I adore you) 😌 Clean romance that still delivers swoon, depth, & emotion
TOP MOMENTS (without spoilers): 👀 The early marriage contract that is unintentionally tense and at times hilarious 💬 Conversations that turn emotionally meaningful 😂 Blink-and-you’ll-miss-it one-liners that deserve rereads 🤭 The moment you realize Will has absolutely ruined you
FINAL THOUGHTS: 💭 Anything, Everything is the kind of book that makes you laugh, smile, swoon, & then quietly cry when you least expect it. It’s cozy, funny, romantic, & emotionally satisfying—the perfect Valentine read if you want joy, heart, & a hero who sets the bar dangerously high.
WHO WOULD LOVE THIS BOOK: If you’re into warm, character-focused, clean romances — especially with a slightly “royal duchy meets modern life” vibe and a gentle emotional arc — this one’s for you.

My Thoughts:
This book was absolutely delightful! The beginning pulled me and had me from there! Anna and Will are absolutely delightful character! I am someone who doesn’t read blurbs and I had no idea what I was getting into but had had a really heavy weak and needed something that wasn’t so intense to devour and boy did this deliver exactly what I was needing! I laugher, I teared up, I felt a full gambit of emotions with this wonderful book!
Anna is making her way on her own! She has inherited Dance Hope from her mother figure and is determined to keep it afloat without any help from her father whom she has been estranged from for years because of an incident he has yet to apologize from. But the studio is literally crumbling around her. She is working all the shifts that she can to make ends meet, keep up with rent and go it on her own. Then an unexpected package arrives leading her to break her 3 year estrangement with her father it leads her storming into his office for an explanation!
Will is a Duke from England who is in deep trouble. He has reached out to the world’s greats fixer of scandals, but his conditions seem a bit far fetched/ perplexing but he has to do this. This is not even for him but for Lex that he is doing this, and he’d do anything for Lex and those he cares for. He’s not prepared for this fireball of a woman who crashes into his life but he’s desperate and will do whatever it takes to protect his people.
This book is truly delightful. If you want a modern arranged marriage but not really regency but has a semi regency fill this is for you. Get ready to fall in love not only with our FMC and MMC but also the wonderful assortment of friends and family who make up this delightful story! Be prepared to laugh and cry and feel all the feels of this truly delightful story!
This was my first from this author but will most definitely not be my last!
Thank you so much to the author for this ARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own!
Anna is a dance teacher and is very independent. She hasn’t spoken to her father in years and refuses to accept any financial help from him even though her studio is falling apart. Will who is a Duke needs Anna’s dad’s help with a big issue with his sister. Anna’s dad agrees to help Will but in return Anna & Will must get married. I LOVED this book so very much. Whenever they first met was so funny. Anna is so feisty and Will is truly the sweetest. He will literally do anything for those he loves. Bekah did an incredible job with this one. It was funny, deep, swoony, and intense at times. It had forgiveness and restoration in this book which was beautiful. I knew it was going to be good but it still blew me away!
Quotes -
She’s gorgeous even when she’s furious, but when she smiles like that? When she smiles, she’s the kind of beautiful men go to war for.
What do I want from her? The truth? I’ll take anything she’ll give me. But I want everything.
“Your worth and beauty are innate. You’re untouchable. Nobody gets to tell you otherwise or make you feel less than. You’re brilliant, brave, beautiful. You are the only woman I want to introduce them to.”
Content - No foul language Mentions of toxic ex boyfriend Strained relationship with parent Implied intimacy between married couple (No doors - not fade to black) Mentions of parent abandonment
Absolutely delightful from start to finish! Anything Everything had me laughing out loud and swooning in equal measure. The dynamic between Will and Anna crackles with fiery chemistry, but it’s the quieter, tender moments that truly shine. Will—a charming Duke with hidden depths—meets his match in Anna, an impoverished ballet teacher trying to carve out a life of her own despite a megalomaniac father. The contrast between their worlds is delicious, and the emotional layering is masterfully done. Just when I thought I couldn’t love it more, it kept surprising me. Funny, heartfelt, and beautifully romantic—this one’s a keeper.
I love that I’m starting 2026 with a new-to-me author who writes such a tender romance with aspects of the Gospel woven into a non-Christian read.
Will and Anna were super into each other! It was fun to read their relationship blossom, and they both grew to respect and love each other. He thought she was precious and she came to trust that.
I identified with Anna’s stubborn yet soft-hearted character. She forged her own path, albeit to her own detriment. She just wanted to be seen and loved by someone who wouldn’t leave. Will did just that for her. I’m glad she got to reconcile with her father at the end of the story, since that forgiveness felt necessary to move forward in her life. I loved her friendship with Keeley and would love to hear the story behind her romance with Dr. Kyle!
Will was so swoony, at times feeling unreal. I wanted to have a bit more fight from him in trying to win Anna’s heart while she was in Northumberland, since I’m all for adding angst to the plot. That’s a personal preference though. I do understand why Bekah wrote his choice to not manipulate Anna for his benefit.
I appreciated Will’s willingness to help his family, staff and friends when they needed him. He was shouldering a lot, but his budding relationship with Anna brought levity to his life and the story itself. I was smiling in these moment & any that included his siblings. Their banter was so good in times of crisis in the story. The family that was created in this book was so sweet, and that final chapter had me in my feels.
Overall, this was a sweet read that had me smiling and grinning. I’m anxious to read more of Bekah’s work. I will be adding it to my TBR!
CW: This is a clean, closed-door romance with kisses only. There’s mention of parental abandonment, death of family members (past, off page), and abuse in a romantic relationship of a side character (past, off page).
I have followed Bekah’s writing journey through four books now and am so impressed that she has these stories in her head. Her writing continues to grow in depth and quality. Marriage of convenience and forced marriage are some of my favorites so I knew I would enjoy this book.
The tension between Will and Anna is so well done as they move from strangers to hesitant allies to friends to lovers. There are moments of frustrated anger, humor and tender, loving care between these two and you really begin to root for them. I wanted a happy ending for their relationship and Bekah delivered.
This book also has found family vibes as well as family dynamics in the form of the complicated relationship that Anna has with her dad. There were several moments where I hurt for the characters and plenty of moments of laughter as well.
This will take you from a large southern city in North Carolina to the shores of Northumberland in Will’s “castle” and back again. Pick it up if you are a fan of The Proposal and sweet love stories.
You know when you can just tell you’re going to love a book? I had that feeling while reading the Author’s Note and the prologue confirmed it! I couldn’t wait to read another chapter. Were it possible, I would have read this book in one sitting. Oh, and when the title clicks? Just perfection 😘
From the settings, the pacing, the feeling of the book, and the laugh-out-loud moments, I loved reading this book! It was the perfect story to relax with after a long day. The characters are believable, their struggles relatable, and I loved the strong thread of support from family and friends throughout the story. In a word … heartwarming 🩷 In pain, the temptation to isolate yourself is there, but this story is a beautiful and gentle reminder of the blessings in our lives — the love of a spouse, family, and friends. Moreover, the Greatest Love, the love of God, that pursues us and does not give up.
As for Will and Anna specifically, their connection is just so sweet and amazing. This story was a joy to read! 🩷 And the ending? An emotional roller coaster with a very satisfying conclusion 😌 Honestly, though, I’m not ready to say goodbye to this cast of characters yet. I hope we see more of them in the future. ❤️

Oh my goodness, I loved this book SO MUCH! I knew I was going to love it from the snippets I had seen shared on Instagram by the author, but I was absolutely obsessed from page one, once I started reading it. It’s an absolutely fantastic book!
I love arranged marriages in stories, but don’t usually see them in contemporary romances. It was beautifully written in this book, and I was on the edge of my seat as I watched Anna and Will fall for each other and choose each other for themselves. The romantic tension in this story is delicious (chef’s kiss all the way), and I loved how information was unveiled and the reader was given the whole picture about what was going on behind the marriage being arranged. The pacing is perfect, and I always felt like I had to keep reading because I wanted to see what would happen next! I thought about the characters whenever I had to put the book down, and I counted down the minutes to when I would be able to read again. I was completely obsessed with this book in the best way possible!
There’s so much more I could say, like about the setting, as well as the side characters, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I will say though that I adored the setting, and the side characters were all amazing! I laughed, I teared up, I fell in love with the characters, and I had the best time reading the story. This is a must read book, and I know I’ll be rereading it in the future!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Oh my goodness, I loved this book by @bekahoverbeybooks !! 😍 This was my first read from her, and now I’m officially a fan!
The marriage of convenience twist was so well done, and I loved the layered family dynamics as everyone tried to figure it all out. Anna teasing Will was such a fun touch, and the way she gently pulled him out of the shell he’d built over the past year was well done.
Watching them slowly fall in love was the sweetest thing, and I didn’t want it to end. This was such a great read—I can’t wait to dive into more from Bekah!
This story caught me by surprise in the best of ways. It is just full of banter, depth, wonderful characters, forgiveness and healing, and so much SWOON! This is a very unique modern-day arranged marriage story. I didn’t want it to end, but the ending was perfection. I laughed, I cried, I loved the whole ride.
This book is everything! Oh my word, it’s amazing! I loved Bekah Overbey’s book Just Don’t Say Love when I read it last year so when I saw she was writing a new book, I jumped at the chance to read it. I devoured it in about 24 hours it was so good!
Anna, an owner of a crumbling dance studio, is offered 1 million dollars by her father, a high stakes lawyer, to fix her studio. The catch? He’ll only give it to her if she’ll marry his client, Will Hardy, Duke of Worcester.
Anna and Will do not (I repeat Do. Not.) hit it off during their first meeting. Anna and her firey attitude goes to blows with Will, his British stiff upper lip, and sturdy demeanor. But when she realizes what Will is truly like, she wonders if she might actually love the man.
Bekah Overbey’s dialogue is ah-mazing! Anytime Anna and her BFF Keeley were with each other I had to stifle my giggles because they just played off of each other so well. It’s like Gilmore Girls at its peak delivery. I mean when you can use Christopher Nolan as a verb, make a bunch of Harry Potter references, and put Tillamook mudslide in your writing, you’ve done a superb job in my book! 😄
The family elements in this book were fantastic. There were deep ties to one another but still parts that were broken, and I wasn’t sure how they were going to be put back together. Also, the banter between Will and his sibling was lovely. Between Will wanting to protect his family and Anna wanting to be apart of a family, it was just beautiful to watch their story play out.
From the beginning, I knew I was going to be moved by this book. Bekah’s author’s note at the beginning brought me to tears. I actually highlighted part of it because it was so beautifully written. The ending was very moving and brought me to tears again because I finally realized why everything was set up the way it was and even when we can’t see it, Our Father has a plan that is best for us.
Highly recommend this book. 5 stars! I’d give it more if I could!
A heartfelt thank you to @bekahoverbeybooks for the #gifted e-book. I am so glad we connected and I was able to read your ARC.
This book is nothing short of a gem! I was completely enchanted by the clever writing, delightful humor, and richly developed characters.
Anna’s world is turned upside down when her estranged father offers her a contract to marry a Duke in exchange for funding her struggling dance studio. The Duke, Will, is in desperate need of her father's assistance, and this unexpected proposal becomes their only viable solution. With no other options, Anna agrees, but the question lingers: will she be able to hide her true feelings, or will love blossom unexpectedly?
The chemistry between Anna and Will is electric, even in their disagreements. Their journey transitions beautifully from forced proximity to genuine romance. The narrative unfolds through the dual perspectives of Will and Anna, allowing us to intimately witness their thoughts and emotions as they navigate their developing relationship. Additionally, Will’s bond with his siblings adds a heartwarming layer to the story, showcasing the power of love and family. The slow revelation of Anna’s estrangement from her father builds emotional depth, culminating in a poignant confrontation that is sure to bring tears to your eyes.
If you have a deep appreciation for enchanting tales of romance and the profound impact of love, this book is an essential addition to your reading list. Make sure to mark your calendars for its release on July 22, 2025—you won’t want to miss this captivating journey! I am definitely looking forward to exploring more works by Bekah.
Where has this book been my entire life??? Well, scratch that, I do know, it’s been inside the genius mind of Bekah Overbey, but I’m so happy that it’s now moved from her mind to the pages of this book.
When I read, I usually underline the parts of the book that jump out at me and make me fall in love with the story and characters, to help while writing the review. The problem with this book is that I’ve practically underlined the entire thing! Okay, that’s not a problem, but seriously, now I have no idea where to even start with this review.
So I guess I’ll commence by saying that this book, right here, deserves ALL the stars, every last one of them! The story was fun and hilarious. The characters were all so well written and endearing in their own ways. The way Anna and Keeley conversed and how Will got on with his siblings was enviable and their interactions made me all smiles and giggles the entire time. ♾️ ⭐
The bantering and back and forth was quick and witty and perfect. The inner dialogues were amazing, which actually brings me to the formatting. This book was formatted beautifully, like poetry. I loved the effect it left throughout the story, especially on the inner commentary.
This book seriously killed me in the best way. There were so many scenes that had me cackling like a mad person; the office scene in chapter one, the airplane scene, the scene in Will’s room (this one was the best! 🤣☠️). I could keep listing them but honestly, it would probably be easier to just say the ENTIRE book, every single scene, was perfectly written with so much humor and heart that I could hardly handle it.
This book was exactly what I needed during one of life's rough patches. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully describe how much this story spoke to me and gave me what my soul was craving. 💜
I received an advanced review copy of this book. This review is my honest opinion and thoughts.
This delightful story has so much to recommend it! Two people feeling forced into a marriage react in two very different ways. Anna enters the story right from the start as a very strong willed and passionate person in the way she resists the scheme her father has concocted. Will, on the other hand, exudes a quiet calmness with a dash of humor. It was fun to see the way these two were both drawn to each other from the very start, even as Anna, especially, tried to resist.
I loved the settings of this story, which included both North Carolina and Northumberland. The reality of the close knit family that she was marrying into, as well as the “castle” they lived in, made a big impression on Anna. But it was seeing the man that Will was and how much he cared for those around him that began to heal Anna’s heart.
There are many emotional moments in this sweet story, with hurts and events in the pasts of both main characters that have to be addressed. I really enjoyed seeing Will and Anna begin to truly talk to each other and connect in a deeper way as they began to fall in love.
(4.5 stars)
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
This is my first book by Bekah and definitely won’t be my last! I loved every moment of Will and Anna’s story! If you like a modern day arranged marriage with enemies to lovers and then be sure to check this one out!
This one was so hard to put down! I loved every moment of Will and Anna’s story! Their banter from the moment they met had me laughing! The characters all had so much depth and I loved how they all grew as the story progressed. Will was always so caring towards Anna making sure she was always okay. I loved that he had such a big heart! Anna’s dad was a tough character to like, but he came around in the end. I really liked that forgiveness was such a big theme. Bekah did a great job showing how harmful it can be when you hold grudges and don’t give forgiveness, but also the peace that comes with giving that forgiveness and mending broken relationships. There are plenty of swoon worthy moments too!! I just can’t say enough good things about this book—from beginning to end!
From the family drama to the amazing side characters to the banter and love, this book is just so good! I highly recommend it!
Thank you to the author for the copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
Thank you so much to Bekah Overbey for providing me an ARC of this book!
I really enjoyed Anything, Everything. It’s a heartfelt and tender marriage of convenience story with a unique spin. Combining modern life with a touch of nobility gives it a fresh and captivating feel. Anna’s passion for her dance studio, combined with her struggle to accept help because of her complicated relationship with her dad, makes her story very relatable and adds real depth to the novel.
Will’s yearning is 10 out of 10 and adds so much heart to the story. The ending caught me by surprise in a really good way and left me thinking about the characters long after I finished reading.
Overall, this book offers a heartfelt romance with well drawn characters and some lovely moments. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a gentle slow burn love story.
Isn’t it amazing when you have been meaning to sit down and read a book by a certain author and then their latest release drops, you call it fate! Well, this story was beyond anything I could ever imagined and everything I needed! Am I being slightly ironic in saying that, yes, but truly this story was truly amazing! Bekah is an atmospheric writer, so you feel like a fly buzzing around the entire room, not just seeing the protags but every little thing around the room!
Anna is a mid 20s something, who has had a well provided for life, but difficult situations have shaped her to who she has become! Having her home life be anything but normal and having a dad, who is very wrapped up in his work, it stands to reason why their relationship is complicated! When Anna is sent a marriage contract that her father drafted up, this redhead lives up to the stereotypes and is about to let loose all her thoughts!
Will is an early 30 something, who has enlisted Kiernan, Anna’s father, to help in his family’s crisis. He didn’t realize Kiernan’s price to fix the situation would be to marry Kiernan’s daughter! Not ideal, but he would do anything to help his family! The fiery redhead works her way into his thoughts almost instantly, but winning her heart over may prove to be difficult!
The story really takes off once the couple arrives back in Northumberland. His family estate, its residents and staff show Anna that they are much more than features that could be in a Bronte novel! From the tea trays from Mrs. M to Fergus insistence on taking a ride on Hannibal to Elsie in her eagerness to plan an engagement party… these people warm your heart even on the coldest day on the moors! So much love for them as well as Robbie and Lexi (Will’s siblings)! This book was hard to put down because there was always more to fall in love with! While this story does focus on the highs and lows of preparing to fulfill a marriage contract between Will and Anna, it’s some of the simplest of moments that really had me compelled to read more! One can simply hope that Bekah will create at least one sequel to this story! Job well done!
Please don’t mind me while I scream about how much I loved this book!
Hilarious banter? Chaos? “Fake” marriage? Lovable side characters? Aggressive fathers who have a heart of gold when it comes to their daughter? A swoon worthy Duke? Many hilarious moments? Collapsing ceilings? Women who are spitfires? Wedding dress catastrophes? LITERALLY GIMME IT ALL
Per usual, I laughed out loud and giggled and kicked my feet at this story written by @bekahoverbeybooks. I find it hard to believe that she’s not as perfect in real life as her characters are in this book. And I mean, I couldn’t possibly hate a single one. Except maybe Luther. He was horrible. Everyone else is a peach though.
The plot was so fun and definitely kept me on my toes. Just when you think you might know what happens next, I promise you, you don’t. And I loved that. It made for not only a funny story with many hi-jinx, but also a fast paced and eventful story. I LOVED Will, and Anna, and their castle. And their story was sweet and silly and so perfect.
Anyways, I don’t wanna spoil something so I don’t want to say toooo much, but I absolutely loved this story. It had it all. It was light and deep all at the same time. And I definitely went on an emotional rollercoaster, but in the best way.
Now I’m on my way to visit Northumberland and this crazy group of people. BRB.
What a cute and sweet romance.🥹🫶🏼 This was a clean, romantic love story with family drama and lots of emotions. The main characters are the best, and the side characters are the types of people you just want in your life.😄 I couldn’t stop thinking about Will and Anna which made it a really fun and enjoyable read for me! She’s a firecracker and he’s her perfect match.
I loved The Proposal 🤝🏼 Downton Abbey vibes (I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice). I loved the atmosphere of where Will lived…it was so cozy!🏰🌊🌳🧺 He was such a safe space and I loved him for it. And the emotions of Anna’s family hardships was so worth it and her gift of dancing was such a cherry on top.🩰
If you’re looking for a sweet, clean, romantic happily-ever-after love story, then check this one out!🫶🏼❤️
The way this book has me in its clutches as soon as I opened it up… wow. Anna is a dancer who is fiercely independent and headstrong. Will is a duke who would do anything for those he loves, including marrying a stranger. First of all, the enemies to lovers trope was done exquisitely. Anna and Will’s bickering was so fun— not only did some of their quips make me laugh out loud, but the tension between them was apparent from their meet cute. This modern arranged marriage seemed doomed to fail, but despite all obstacles, it doesn’t. I loved Keeley (Anna’s BFF) and Lexi & Robbie (Will’s siblings) and found their characters to be just as charming as our MCs. This book made me laugh, cry, and feel so many feelings. It is by far one of my favorite reads this year.
Anything, Everything by Bekah Overbey. Yalllllll this book was anything and everything I could want in a romcom. Obsessed! 5 star read across the board.
Forced marriage and marriage of convenience that brought all the banter and I am here for it. Straight from Will and Anna’s first meeting all the way to the end. This book had family drama, amazing side characters and laugh out loud moments. Just so good. If you are a romance or romcom lover add this book to your list immediately. You won’t be able to put it down.
This was such a cute book! Anna has a passion for dance and wants to save her studio. Will is an English duke trying to cover up a scandal. Anna’s father comes up with a plan that includes a marriage contract between them. There is so much fun banter between these two! You get a modern marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, and the most delicious slow burn! Here’s some stuff I loved about this book: -Getting trapped in an airplane bathroom -The country estate (AKA the castle) -Dancing in the barn -One horse -The kiss in the study -The picnic by the sea -Will’s siblings
This is like Pride and Prejudice meets The Proposal. I ended up reading 3/4 of the book in one day. So much cuteness!
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest review. All views are my own.
Favorite Quote: “Her eyes crinkle on another smile. Honestly? An actual bomb is probably less dangerous than one of her smiles.”
This book had me feeling all the feels! 😍😭 I loved everything about Will and Anna’s story! The chemistry between them, the spitfire that is Anna, the comments from Lexi, Keely, and Robbie! 😂 There’s so many good one liners that had me dying, it was so hard to pick just one!
Thank you to the author for the advance copy. All thoughts are my own.
I absolutely loved everything about this love story! The characters felt so authentic and genuine, I was completely invested from the very first page. This book had so much depth and heart, I honestly didn’t want to put it down… and I definitely didn’t want it to end.
Anna had me laughing out loud with her sharp wit, fierce honesty, and independent spirit. She was such a breath of fresh air, and Will complemented her humor and tenacity perfectly. And can we talk about the side characters? I loved every single one of them!
I’m always drawn to stories that make me laugh, cry, and leave me feeling good, this one delivered it all. It was pure perfection!!
An arranged marriage/ marriage of convenience mixes with a royal family in this sweet love story. Anna is dead set against marrying Will, but at some point, she realizes that marrying him is the only option for her moving forward. She won't be able to carry out her plans without it. Enjoy some twists and turns along the way.
Thank you Bekah for an ARC copy. My opinion is my own.
Loved this one so much 😍 I enjoy a solid regency romance with dukes and lords, but this was a modern day one! With a modern day duke named Will! It was my first time reading a book like this and I loved it soooooo much!! Anna’s estranged father tries setting up an arranged marriage to a very handsome duke 🙈🤣 and Anna is an independent, fiery FMC! The banter between her and Will is top notch! This book had me laughing out loud, swooning, and also had me teary eyed in a few spots! One of my favorite reads in August!!
Wow! This is a fantastic marriage of convenience that I didn’t know why they had to in the beginning but as you read and it unraveled, was absolutely perfect! Loved Will & Anna together. The ending was everything I could have wanted!
The concept was interesting. An arranged marriage between a dancer and a duke. He’s willing, she not. I was definitely entertained, but I was missing a bit of connection/chemistry between these two.
