Curves & Capital #5
Dial F for Finance
She thinks he's a shallow playboy with the emotional depth of a puddle. He's been half in love with her for two years.
Jenna has spent her career perfecting the art of the polite shutdown. As Bennett Mercer's right hand, she's untouchable, unflappable, and completely immune to Dominic Cruz's charm offensive.
Or so she keeps telling herself.
Dominic knows Jenna thinks he's a joke—all flash, no substance. He also knows that somewhere underneath that glacier exterior is a woman worth melting for. He's been waiting for his shot.
Three weeks. Tokyo. One hotel & a high-stakes deal that requires them both.
She can't avoid him. He won't stop trying. And whatever happened between them on that trip? They're not talking about it.
The final book in the Curves & Capital series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars | 🌶️🌶️ 2 Chili Peppers
I have been waiting for Jenna and Dominic's story throughout the Curves & Capital series, and Dial F for Finance did not disappoint! These two had already become favorites of mine through all those little glimpses, flirtations, and back-and-forth moments in the previous books. But I don't think I realized just how complex they both were until Megan Wade finally let us behind the personas they've been showing everyone else.
For years, Jenna has viewed Dominic as the charming playboy who flirts with everyone and couldn't possibly be serious about her. Meanwhile, this man has basically been pining for her forever. 😂 He knows exactly what he wants. The problem is convincing Jenna that what he wants is her.
And then they go to Tokyo.
What happens in Tokyo apparently does NOT stay in Tokyo because somehow a high-stakes business trip turns into Jenna and Dominic getting married. 🤭 Of course, Jenna wakes up ready to undo everything while Dominic has absolutely no intention of letting his wife disappear that easily. The resulting annulment papers and their agreement to give their marriage sixty days had me completely invested.
But what I loved most was that their story became about so much more than years of attraction finally exploding.
Jenna and Dominic are both caretakers in completely different ways. Jenna has learned to depend on herself and handle everything alone. Dominic is the fixer. If someone he loves has a problem, his instinct is to swoop in and solve it. Those qualities initially seem like they should fit perfectly together, but they eventually become one of the biggest challenges in their marriage.
Dominic has to learn that loving Jenna doesn't mean fixing everything for her, especially without asking what she wants. Jenna has to learn that accepting someone's support doesn't take away her independence. They are at their best when they're a team, and I loved watching them figure out what being true partners actually means.
Their family dynamics added another emotional layer I wasn't expecting. There are some incredibly touching moments throughout this book, and I went from laughing at the friend group's antics to reaching for tissues more than once. I genuinely felt like I'd become part of this group after spending the entire series with them, which made reaching Jenna and Dominic's story even more special.
But Jenna herself is the reason this book became such a personal five-star read for me.
I've read plenty of romances featuring curvy and plus-size heroines. I've read tall heroines too. But somewhere during this book, I had this incredibly emotional realization:
Holy shit. Jenna looks like me.
And that hit me harder than I ever expected.
Jenna is tall, curvy, dark-haired, powerful, intelligent, graceful, and unapologetically takes up space. She doesn't shrink herself to make other people more comfortable. She stands tall, shoulders squared, and commands attention. And she isn't the funny best friend standing beside the heroine.
She IS the heroine.
She's the woman being desired. The woman someone has spent years wanting. The woman Dominic looks at like she's a goddess. She's soft and sexy and powerful and beautiful, and none of those things contradict each other.
There was something incredibly moving about seeing a woman whose physical description felt so familiar to me being presented as the fantasy rather than the exception. Every time Dominic adored something about Jenna, especially her height and softness, it landed differently. And when I reached their wedding picture and actually saw her? Yep. There were tears. 🥹
Representation can sneak up on you like that. Sometimes you don't realize how much you've wanted to see yourself as the leading lady until suddenly she's standing right there on the page.
And Dominic? This man is completely, hopelessly, gloriously gone for her. ❤️ I loved discovering the man underneath all that charisma and flirtation. His devotion to Jenna was everything, but I also appreciated that the book allowed him to have flaws. He can't simply charm his way through marriage. He has to learn, grow, listen, and understand that sometimes the woman he loves doesn't need him to solve the problem. She needs him standing beside her while they solve it together.
And I haven't even talked about their chemistry. 🔥 Megan Wade certainly did not hold back. Jenna and Dominic have spent far too long circling one another, and when all that tension finally breaks? SO satisfying.
As the final Curves & Capital book, this felt like such a rewarding goodbye. I laughed, cried, swooned, and became far too invested in that sixty-day marriage experiment. I loved seeing the entire group again, and that second epilogue has me very curious about what Megan Wade has planned next.
But more than anything, I'll remember Jenna.
I love when a romance reminds us that there isn't one kind of woman who gets to be the fantasy. Jenna gets to be tall. She gets to be curvy. She gets to be brilliant and powerful and fierce. She gets to take up every inch of space she occupies.
And she gets to be loved like she is the most desirable woman in the room.
For someone who saw a little bit of herself in Jenna, that meant more than I expected. ❤️
Thank you to Megan Wade and Booksprout for the gifted advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Like everyone else, I had been waiting for Jenna and Dominic Cruz’s book to come out. Dom had been slowly chasing this woman for years. At first, it was at its highest wattage. But, over the last three years, it has been at a slow respectful pace. There seemed to be progress at Bennett and Layla’s wedding; everyone and I mean everyone noticed that the two of them were on the dance floor and even laughing with one another. One of them had noticed that Jenna had changed her place card to sit next to him during the dinner. After the dance, he went outside to get some air. Jenna ended up following him outside. Now, between dinner and then dancing, she had been with the girls drinking Champagne and dancing. So, when she goes outside to check on Dom she’s a little frisky. She even tries to kiss him which he does and loves every moment. However, when she talks about going upstairs with her, he says he would love to, only not that night because she had been drinking.
Because he knew if he did, he would be her regret in the morning. It turns out she goes nuclear. A drunk Jenna, is a mean Jenna. The most toxic words are spouted at Dom landing straight at her target. Let me just say it happens more than once too. It’s not right at all. However, I understand. When you come from a family that is used to spelling out hatred instead of love so easily, and using love like a weapon. You have no concept of its real use. People are always using it as a weapon in her world. Plus, for years, Jenna has viewed Dominic as the charming playboy who flirts with everyone and couldn't possibly be serious about her. Just like her mother always harped about. Men are notorious flirts and cheats. Meanwhile, Dominic has been pining over Jenna forever. Dom knows exactly what he wants. Here’s the problem, convincing Jenna that Dom wants only her. Then, the next morning hungover, feeling humiliated and embarrassed she gets a call from Bennett.
She is going to Tokyo with Dominic to handle the Nakamura team. He tells her she is the only one who can handle the contract and Dom will be there to smooth the feathers and remind them what is at stake. They leave for Tokyo that night. And then they go to Tokyo. What happens in Tokyo apparently does NOT stay in Tokyo. Because Jenna and Dominic ended up getting married, and they weren’t even drunk. Of course, Jenna wakes up ready to undo everything while Dominic has absolutely no intention of letting his wife disappear that easily. The resulting annulment papers and their agreement to give their marriage sixty days will have you completely invested. This story became about so much more than their infatuation with one another. Yes, because it wasn’t just Dom who had a crush; Jenna did too. Them both being caretakers in completely different ways causes a bit of a problem. Jenna has learned to depend on herself and handle everything alone. Dominic is the fixer. If someone he loves has a problem, his instinct is to swoop in and solve the problem.
Those qualities seem like they should fit perfectly together; however, they eventually become the biggest challenges in their marriage. They are at their best when they're a team; Dominic has to learn that loving Jenna doesn't mean fixing everything, and especially without asking what she wants. Jenna has to learn that accepting someone's support doesn't take away her independence. Watching them set the framework for themselves as to what a true partnership was, is enlightening. Each of their families opened a new can of worms in their lives, but it was a dynamic they both truly needed to see and feel to believe the other was real and human. Jenna’s body image became a big factor in this book compared to the other books. I felt it in part because of her height and in part because of prom. Bravo to Megan Wade for adding the photo; it added the shock factor. Making you the reader more engaged with Dom and Jenna. Jenna is tall, curvy, powerful, intelligent, and unapologetically takes up space.

worth the wait
While nothing terribly dramatic happens in this book, which is part for the course for the series and for these lighter clean romances in general, I was fully engaged with the story of a couple that I’ve been waiting five books to finally explore.
Romance is such a hit and miss genre. Everything is formulaic, it’s all based on tropes. I’ve read series with flat characters with no personality, with no real conflict, with immature dialogue and situations, with no resolution to the conflict exists, etc. Where this author stands apart from so many of her peers is her awareness and understanding of people and what makes them tick. Her characters are complex and deep and while they may be fairly simple to put in a box, there is realism there. And she does such a great job of exploring and peeling back those layers in a way that feels completely natural and not forced at all. We don’t learn what makes them tech because they sit there and narrate all of their motivations to you. We learn what makes them tick through the choices they make, the way they react, and mostly from the way others see them and analyze them. Which is what makes it feel so natural.
Maybe the best part is that while I found the first one with Layla and Bennett to be a little bit boring, kind of basic cute girl and grumpy guy tropes, I now feel like that was just to set a baseline. The characters that came after are so much more interesting. They are a little too clean, predictable in their very specific, narrow character parameters in a way that real people are not, but at the same time each one was unique and fun and while they were only a slice of a real human, that slice was spot on. I saw myself in each of these people. I’ve read so many books where the characters talk about things that have happened to them in their past, but then their choices and reactions don’t match what you would expect from a person who had actually been through those things. And that’s something that you might not recognize if you haven’t been overweight with loose skin, the dumpy kind of nerdy one that had trouble connecting with people, the one who has always felt like he’s not quite human and doesn’t know how to participate or or the one who felt like they would never quite be enough so they threw themselves into their work, or the one who is over 6 feet tall and big all around and was so used to feeling like the punchline that they put up walls so high that no one would be able to get through them and see them be vulnerable. Again, if you put all of these people together you would basically end up with one real person because no one is that narrowly defined in real life, but we all know that when writing a character for something that’s short, those characters need to be clean and simplified to a degree. But it seems that this author has either experienced these things for themselves or is simply incredibly empathetic and able to discern people’s real motivations and behaviors and somehow put that into words in such a way that feels like a conversation or a simple activity.
On top of that, each book has explored more deeply the personalities in relationships of the characters in the book before which has the outcome of each book kind of being better than the one before it.
And, it felt like the author tried a little too hard to make it seem like these guys had all been besties for longer than they had but that wasn’t this book so it didn’t actually start here. I in this book, I felt like what happened at the end of their week in Tokyo was kind of unrealistic. I know it was part of the spine of the plot of this book, but it didn’t feel true to the characters and I think that this book could’ve been done well without it even though it would’ve changed the trope.
In general, I felt like I would have appreciated some earlier discussion about what each of these characters looked like from the author’s perspective. In multiple books, including this one, I found that I had already created a picture of these characters in my head and then once we got into this book and really talked about their de, or figured out their descriptions based on their ethnicity and families, it was very different than how I had originally pictured them. So then my brain was constantly trying to rewire itself and replace the old character with the new one and it kind of spoiled it for me a bit. That was true of characters in the earlier books as well. I know we obviously don’t want to have really obnoxiously transparent exposition about their appearance in the beginning, but I feel like with a skilled as this author is with putting personality traits out there, she could’ve been pretty effective with physical traits as well.
Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and feel like this author is several levels above most of the other romance authors I’m seeing being supposed best sellers. And I will most definitely continue with her other books.

I couldn't wait for Jenna and Dominic's story and Dial F for Finance did not disappoint!! They were my favorites out of the group and I loved how we were slowly getting to know them throughout the series and yet we had no clue how rich and complex these characters and their story was until now. I loved their back-and-forth wittiness and playful moments. It was touching to see the differences in their family dynamics and yet the experiences with both families were important and endearing. I felt like I was part of the group, having been through so much with all the other characters and their stories, and yet we got to discover and learn who Jenna and Dominic actually are beneath the persons they put forth for everyone else. I cried several times in this book, laughed throughout, and seriously fantasized about the heated moments. And the heat was there. I love that Megan Wade isn't skimpy with her details and the amount of sexy scenes in her novels. So satisfying!!
The last thing I will share is that this book affected me in a personal way as it's the first time I've read a spicy romance novel with a FMC that I could so closely identify with in physical description. I've read plenty of curvy and plus-size heroine stories, and I've read several novels that feature a tall female lead (Shout out to Aly and Stella from Lights Out and Game On!). I've even seen a few side characters described as tall and voluptuous. But like it often is in real life, we're never the main girl. We're not seen as the sexy lead or the ideal and desired body type. We're the best friends, never the leading lady. Jenna knocked that out of the way and strode into her story with pride, beauty, and a regal and prominent presence. She didn't make herself smaller like we're often encouraged to do. She stood with her chin up, shoulders squared, and at her full height. And it blew me away. I was a few chapters in and I swear lightening struck me. I said out loud, "Holy Shit! She looks like me!" I wanted to cry with the realization because she was already one of my favorites. And then I did cry when I saw the picture included to depict their wedding photo. Her height, her body shape, her weight, her dark hair and big smile. Whenever Dominic enamouredly described her (OMG when he gushed about her being soft and the perfect height!!!), I felt the butterflies and the tightness in my chest. It felt like he could have been describing me. It was like seeing myself as the star of a fantasy. I'm Latina, 5'11.5 (I'll be honest, it's probably 6ft), and haven't been under 200 lbs since high school. I finally saw myself in a beautiful character in an amazing story. I saw a woman like me get the tall, charismatic, sexy husband. I saw a woman like me with power, intelligence, grace, and fierceness. I read about a woman like me who was seen as the ultimate choice, someone to pine a near decade for, the absolute ideal worthy of devotion, obsession, and awe. To see her be called a goddess, and loved and wanted so fiercely... It healed part of me. I'm grateful to Megan Wade and I loved Jenna. I hope everyone gets the chance to see themselves in a character they fall in love with. Thank you for Jenna, for Dominic, for this love story, and for this experience.

Jenna knocked that out of the way and strode into her story with pride, beauty, and a regal and prominent presence. She didn't make herself smaller like we're often encouraged to do. She stood with her chin up, shoulders squared, and at her full height. And it blew me away. I was a few chapters in and I swear lightening struck me. I said out loud, "Holy Shit! She looks like me!" I wanted to cry with the realization because she was already one of my favorites. And then I did cry when I saw the picture included to depict their wedding photo. Her height, her body shape, her weight, her dark hair and big smile. Whenever Dominic enamouredly described her (OMG when he gushed about her being soft and the perfect height!!!), I felt the butterflies and the tightness in my chest. It felt like he could have been describing me. It was like seeing myself as the star of a fantasy. I'm Latina, 5'11.5 (I'll be honest, it's probably 6ft), and haven't been under 200 lbs since high school. I finally saw myself in a beautiful character in an amazing story. I saw a woman like me get the tall, charismatic, sexy husband. I saw a woman like me with power, intelligence, grace, and fierceness. I read about a woman like me who was seen as the ultimate choice, someone to pine a near decade for, the absolute ideal worthy of devotion, obsession, and awe. To see her be called a goddess, and loved and wanted so fiercely... It healed part of me. I'm grateful to Megan Wade and I loved Jenna. I hope everyone gets the chance to see themselves in a character they fall in love with. Thank you for Jenna, for Dominic, for this love story, and for this experience.

Given how excited I was for this book (after reading the two before it and absolutely LOVING them!) its sad that I had to suffer this much to get through it 🤦🏻♀️
I absolutely loved Dominic; for all his flaws, he was the one highlight of this story.
Jenna on the other hand made me want to DNF this book on so many occasions and the fact that I powered through should earn me a medal 😂😂 I have never seen a character that was so wrapped up in their own head as much as her; granted I could definitely see her perspective, she was a true testament to how much trauma can shape someone.
And that was the problem: for most of the book Jenna was so stuck that there was basically no plot outside of her repeating the same things over and over again-projecting her father’s traits onto Dominic and deciding that no matter what he did or what she felt, he was always going to be the bad guy.
Unless of course it was spicy time🙄🙄 then he was the most amazing person on the planet and of course she loved him (and yes, I think the spice was way overdone)
And when we finally did get some progress, one event changed the trajectory and we were right back where we started (that third act break up was beyond unnecessary, especially considering how it was resolved)
I haven’t read the first two books in this series, but as it stands, this one was my least favorite of the three that I did read.
I am somewhat looking forward to this authors new series (we got a sneak peek at that at the end) and I’m definitely giving it a chance. Fingers crossed!

Review of advance copy
An outstanding story as Domonic Cruz and Jenna Pemberton head to Tokyo to save a deal, where Jenna writes the contract in such a way that the Japanese Company cannot come back for a higher price, when they find out what Jenna's company wants it for. While in Tokyo Jenna finally gave into Dominic's years of flirtation and chasing her agreeing to marry him their last day there. Only the next morning, she regretted her decision flying back ahead of Dominic. When she saw him next she presented him with annulment papers, which they had ninety days to sign and file. He refused to sign them in the beginning. Then they came up with a sixty day plan of giving their marriage a chance for sixty days. This was where the story became topsy turby. Their marriage was wonderful for fifty some days then it a hit snag. Turing both Dominic and Jenna into broken souls. He was use to fixing everything for everyone, and she was use to do everything on her own. They had lost the ability to work as a team like they did in Tokyo. That was when they were their best. Keep the kleenex handy you will definitely need them. Being in love was not easy for Dominic and Jenna. This book had a wonderful first epilogue.

I have been waiting for Dominic and Jenna's book since the start of the series. Their chemistry and banter built from the beginning as each couple found their happy ever after in every book. I love the development of Dominic. In each book, you got the funny, charismatic version of him. But this book showed his serious side more. He is family-oriented first and foremost, whether by blood, found family, or friendship. He's a fixer who takes care of everyone but himself. Jenna was the one thing he wanted for himself, and he was determined to get her to give him a chance. Jenna had depth in this book as well. You learn about her past drama and how it shaped her. She's still feisty but learns to let her guard down more with Dominic. I love that they both learn to lean on each other and that we don't have to be in performance mode all the time. It's ok to show your true self to people you care about. While the story dragged on longer than necessary in my opinion, it was still such a good read. There's great chemistry, humor, drama, trauma, love, and much more. I can't wait for the next book. I'm not sure if it's going to be the last in the series or the start of the new one. Either way, I'm sure it won't let me know just like the others in this series.
Review of advance copy
I have been waiting for this book from the very beginning! Getting to finally see how they feel about each other was truly jaw-dropping. I have always had a soft spot for Dominic, but once I saw his true feelings and how he went out of his way for Jenna—I was a goner. Jenna was also surprising—she radiates this no-BS confidence, but her thoughts show a more vulnerable side. These two are a natural disaster just waiting to happen. Watching Jenna grow and finally let down her guard was truly beautiful, and seeing it through Dominic's eyes was completely swoon-worthy. And just when I thought Dominic was as smooth as they come, we met Dustin, and he completely stole the show. With that said, this series has blown me away, and their story was the perfect ending!

Dominic has been half in love with Jenna for over three years, but she always shoots him down. One business trip to Tokyo, 10 days with no strings, but on the last daythey get married. The next morning, she leaves him behind with annulment papers and a note to "handle this". Fighting for the life he wants, he gets her to agree to 60 days living and acting like the marriage is real. If she still wants out, he'll let her go.
Dominic is the character I most wanted to get his happy ending. Jenna seems like a heartless witch, but the chapters from her POV show a heartbreaking vulnerability. Dominic was the perfect supportive guy for her and I loved seeing their relationship develop. The friend group was hilarious with their text threads and banter. Loved it!

This series has been so fun and I loved revisiting some of the previous books but this one might just take the cake at my favorite.
Dominic has wanted Jenna for so long and for three years he hasn’t shied away from letting her know it.
Jenna been burned before and thinks that Dom is just playing her, and if she was to give into him he’d leave her in the ruins of her heart.
Their story was so funny, and enjoyable that I couldn’t stop reading. I loved their banter and back and forth.
I thought it was funny that she wants him to get the paperwork done and they get a clean cut divorce but he refuses to and takes that as the opportunity to show her what they could been and have together.
I really liked their book and I would highly recommend checking out this book and add it to your TBR.

Dominic has been pursuing Jenna throughout the series. At Layla and Bennett’s wedding, relaxed by champagne, she ends up propositioning him. Not wanting to take advantage of her inebriated state he turns her down. Jenna’s walls immediately go back up but when they have to go to an emergency crisis meeting in Tokyo, there is a shocking conclusion to the trip. At first you think Jenna is being irrational and emotionless in her actions but you realise there is some deep seated trauma behind it. While you think Dominic is the perfect partner, what Jenna makes him see if that he is less a partner and more a fixer. Doing things without asking her first. The sex is explosive and the interactions between the friends group is hilarious and heartwarming. A great lead into the next series begins with the second epilogue.

I had such high hopes for Dominic and Jenna. Jenna got on my nerves a bit and was very much stuck in her feelings from high school at almost 40. She projected those feelings onto Dominic and it felt like she wanted to sabotage the relationship. I understand she wants to be independent and known for ber work and making it on her own. She needed too much valedation. Dominic did his best to accommodate that but of course he did put his foot in his a mouth a couple of times.
These two have been circling around each other for years. Then a business trip to Japan changes eveything. Can these two handle the new life they arw creating or will past inner demons ruin everything?
Overall I still enjoyed the book, it was great to see these two get their happily ever after and really grow as individuals and as a couple.
Looking forward to Haileys book!

There is a meeting in Tokyo. Things have to come together in order to make this deal happen. These two are the dynamic duo. They have to help the other, and since they've been friends for a while, grumpy or not, the true feelings are starting to come out on this business trip. Thanks to spending so much isolated on this trip in Tokyo, Dominic realizes that he's been infatuated, then in love with Jenna for a little bit more than 3 years. Jenna is used to him pursuing her and now she needs to figure out if she was genuine about the proposition during the reception at their friend's wedding. It is simplistic yet complicated to where these two have to find their way to each other and not away from each other. The avoidance, bantering, and evolving of the relationship was nice. Pretty good read.

quando Dominic e Jenna participaram dos outros livros da série, eu achei os dois bem insuportáveis. sabe quando as conversas não fluíam? mas, aqui na história deles, o comportamento deles foi até bem bacana.
como eu disse num dos outros livros desta série, a autora não escreve mal. o que acontece é que eu não concordei com vááárias escolhas dela. por exemplo, toda cena fofinha de Jenna e Dominic, quando era no POV dela, vinha aquela conversinha de "eu devia ser sarcástica, eu já tinha uma resposta pronta, eu devia ter falado x, mas me entreguei". toda vez, cara? não cansa não?
a parte do meio do livro é maior legal. aí depois se arrasta demais, nossa siora.
mas é bem ok, o hot é bastante bom :)

This was SUCH a good story. The writing is so strong and the story so, so good. I really fell for both the leads and the way they spoke was so smart! My only complaint is that they sometimes seemed to suddenly know exactly why they felt certain ways. But mostly they were real, true-to-life people who floundered and fell and had to put things back together.
There is some Downs Syndrome and other unspecified special needs representation, which I felt was a little out of place. The Down character just acted like a younger brother — that has not been my experience with people with Downs.
There is a LOT of sex in this one. I wish it was a little sweeter than spicy but the sex didn’t ever overwhelm the plot, it was just part of the whole story.

I was excited for Dominic and Jenna’s over journey as we have seen them throughout this series. A business trip turns into a marriage that Dominic wants but Jenna is scared of. Jenna seems heartless at times but as her inner self emerges it explains her. Dominic was swoony and determined to make Jenna see they were perfect together. Loved the banter, the grab a tissue moments, sizzle, the growth both personal and as a couple and the forever they find. Sorry to see the end of this wonderful series but look forward to the next adventure this author brings me.

August 26, 2026How do I love you, Megan Wade, let me count the ways! Ms Wade knows how to spin a story - and Dial F for Finance, the fifth book in her Curves & Capital series, is no exception. Dominic and Jenna's story finally comes to the page, and it was worth the wait. Their chemistry ... gah! My Kindle damn-near melted. The slow burn, the steamy, the swoon ... Ms Wade knows how to write it so well, my expectations are always high, and yet she meets or exceeds them each and every time. Grab Dominic and Jenna's romance and you will not be sorry.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I have always have had a soft spot for Dominic and boy oh boy did I fall for him harder. Jenna is so perfect for him. Not taking any of his nonsense and putting him in his place. One thing that shines through is his feelings for her and how he lets her know.
As tough as Jenna is her gentleness is shown. Once she lets her guard down we see the true Jenna.
Brilliant characters, drama, angst, chemistry and full on spice. Perfect.

Dominic has been in love with Jenna for a while now, but she has always turned him down. On a business trip, she lets her guard down, and things take a steamy, accidental 'we got married' turn. Dominic is determined, and he wants a chance to win Jenna's heart in this fake turns real, reverse grumpy/sunshine billionaire romance. This is an accidental marriage romance with fun banter, steam, and a great ending. Dial F for Finance is book five and a great addition to the Curves and Capital series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

At last these two get their own book as the last in the series. Jenna and Dominic have been circling around each other for years, finally giving in while on a business trip. A sexy and steamy read with plenty of high heat steamy moments, low drama, fab friends who are really one big found family, workplace shenanigans and more.

It was a fine end to the series but I was hoping for more. The story felt about 150 pages too long, with the first half caught up in as many metaphors and similes as could possibly be fit into a sentence. And then the third act breakup...the friends said they were not going to defend Dominic and then IMMEDIATELY did just that. His friends pointed out that his plan was problematic but their wives told Jenna essentially that she had to fix it. Not cool.

Really loved getting to finally see who Dominic really is. Loves his character. Jenna was overall good too. I did get frustrated by her at times with the doubts and stuff. But that’s just me I guess.
Loved Dom’s family!!! And loved seeing the found family all together for this last book! Getting to see two weddings of characters we got to love in this last one was a great way to end the series!

This was a great reverse grumpy sunshine romance. It was the final book in this series and I’m not really ready to let go yet. This was Jenna and Dominic’s story and I really loved the two together, they had such good chemistry and I loved their HEA.

Explosive and beautiful
I really loved this book. It's been a long time coming, and it was 100% worth the wait. These two are off-the-charts hot, the twists and turns are absolutely compelling and so true to life that I cried, laughed and screamed right along with them.
So very excited for the next book!

Enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more of this author's writing. Now, the buts... too long for the story. Parts were boring because of the language used. The pregnancy disclosure at the very end was an obvious ploy to add extra words -- the situation and placing was odd. The whole pregnancy thing was barely given a paragraph in a very long story.

nearly shelved this at around 75% after what I thought was a massive over reaction from the FMC which I was wildly upset about because until then it was a solid 5⭐️.
But. I kept going and thank goodness I did. Totally redeemed itself and I honestly thought it was excellent. Really loved this one

Well, well, written and touching, but really all about the two characters. Everything is about the two characters, the friends, The Family, it all points fingers towards the two characters and their developing relationship .
