[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
"Am I in the middle of writing my own fairy tale? Maybe so , in my own way."
The Amicable Pact by french author Ana K. Anderson is a hate to love romance with a story I hadn't expected from the synopsis . It was previously published in French under the title Scottish Bastard, which totally fits the main hero's personality lol
"This guy holds all the records:
-The sexiest knucklehead to ever exist.
-The only person to have an ego as oversize as his bad faith
-And the only man who can manage to enrage me with just a single word."
I don't want to give much away about the plot because The Amicable Pact has a bit of mystery surrounding its wedding and the whole story unfolded in a way I found a bit refreshing. The story has a great cast, both main and supporting characters. Dawn is instantly likeable and you can't help but admire her kindness with her brothers and her strong backbone when it comes to defending herself and those she cares for. Quinn on the other hand, who fits the books original title of Scottish Bastard, takes a little more time to warm up to . When he finally stops being so stubborn, arrogant and childish he turns into a much more endering person. The pranks and bickering between them build some fantastic sexual chemistry that boils over into some passionate encounters. They both have to overcome their own insecurities in the end to take a chance on each other.
"My senses explode and my brain disconnects. I am nothing but sensation against him. I let go. Quinn MacFayden has finally had me.”
I really enjoyed The Amicable Pact by Ana K. Anderson and I hope more of her books get published in English in the near future!

3.5 ⭐️
So- the synopsis scared me a bit. I was never a fan of an Anna Nicole type story.... but Dawn is immediately such a likeable character who has been through so much. She is caring for her 10 year old twin brothers and you know there is so much more to this story. The banter and pranks between Dawn and Quinn were hilarious- I adore a hate to love romance! The relationship between Dawn and her 90 year old “fiancé” was so sweet and caring. They all have secrets that they are keeping and you can’t wait to figure them out! Overall, a fun read that I would definitely recommend!

The Amicable Pact delivers a extremely addictive comical romance with sizzling sexual tension between Dawn and Quinn. Dawn is a beautiful hardworking Scottish red-head that has an arranged marriage with Quinn's 91 year old grandfather (yes, ninety-one years old!). Quinn is a handsome Scottish man (gives me all the Jamie Fraser feels) who works as CEO to the MacFayden family business, and is VERY AGAINST this absurd marriage (which he and everyone else agrees is nothing but a gold-digging scam).
I laughed OUT LOUD so many times while reading this hilarious romance. It delivers enemies-to-lovers trope on point! Quinn can't allow this fortune hunter to steal the families wealth, and while that, Dawn has her own secret reasons for going through with this.
"Dawn Fleming is a witch and she has cast a spell on me, as well as on my aged grandfather"
It tells the story in alternating point-of-views between Quinn and Dawn, so we get to see inside the head of both of them. I loved Quinn's POV the most, he is very masculine, hilarious and determined to bring this wedding to a stop, he will stop at nothing to make Dawn run back to Edinburgh. However, he can't control the crazy attraction that he feels for Dawn! It has some triggers (suicide, cancer) however it is very light. The first half of the book is super fast paced and you fall head-first into this battle filled with sexual tension between Quinn and Dawn, the second half slows down a bit once the family comes into focus more.
" Behind the obvious animosity between us, a twisted game of seduction has begun..."
I recommend this book if you are looking for a summer read, funny, super sexy, cute, with very emotional and beautiful family moments.
