Unsigned Papers: The Midnight Kitchen Book 2
She needs a husband. She discovers she already has one. Because he never signed the papers.
Carys
Three years, and Hunter couldn't manage to sign his name on a single piece of paper.
Now I need a husband—specifically, the one I already have.
Four months. Shared address.
Convincing enough to fool an estate lawyer and a family that never knew I filed for divorce.
Simple. Temporary. Survivable.
I walked in ready. He looked up and I was immediately less ready.
Nobody warned me he'd still look like that. That's deeply unfair.
I should have found another way.
Hunter
Three years. Not a word.
And then she walked into my kitchen like she owned it—which, technically, she still did.
She has a proposition. I told her no.
She already knew I didn't mean it.
She just needs four months. And I just need her to stop standing in my kitchen in those clothes.
She has conditions. I have conditions.
Hers are reasonable. Mine are not.
She thinks she can walk away in four months. She thinks she can stay detached.
I'm not sure I want her to.

Hunter is telling a joke to his brothers while they are cooking, when everything goes quiet as everyone stares at the door.
The beautiful redhead sets her eyes on him and storms over, throwing a folder at his head. He looks at her with a smirk saying 'ooops' and signs the papers. The divorce papers he failed to sign three years ago.
She takes the papers from him and tears them apart and storms upstairs to the apartment they used to share after informing him that he was too late.
I loved this story. It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This story begins exactly where book one ended.
Hunter and Carys are like night and day. He was a foster child and she was grew up with a silver spoon not knowing what it felt like to be unwanted and needful. Their relationship was explosive and they were like small children playing stupid pranks as punishment to each other.
This book is full of angst and will keep you turning the pages as they try to pretend to be happily married when they are anything but. Totally different feel from book one, but I totally enjoyed it.
