I liked the book because I thought the author made the Marriage of Convenience and the Fake Relationship tropes seem fresh. It takes a talented writer to take an established trope and make it their own.
My interpretation of the blurb: His parents arrange for the reluctant Patch (a doctor) to wed Beth on paper in order to protect her from her stepfather’s evil machinations. Patch is prospecting for the Savage Legion, later becoming a member.
Book is SAFE.
Heat is EXPLICIT with a VIRGIN HEROINE and MEDIUM BURN.
TRIGGERS include trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, violence, and language.
MC is NOT 1%.
TROPES include Arranged Marriage, Marriage of Convenience, Fake Relationship, Invalid Relative, Ebil Stepfather, Doctor Hero, Matchmaking Mama, Rival MC, Childhood Crush.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
