Another Great Read
I thought Ian twin brother was something apparently this brother had nothing on him. I don't know how you can allow your friends to get you into making a bet that you end up losing and they end up picking you someone to marry of their choosing.And poor Brielle is the unexpected victim in their little game.She is a sweet girl who has been trying to make a life for herself in spite of being over weight and not seeing potential in herself.But you never know what can happen if you spend time together and what happens if someone feelings gets in the way always end in heartache which in long run is hard to recover from and when you realize that the game is over and you allowed the best thing that could have happened to you go sometimes it might be too late to get it back. And all because you couldn't change the rules! Enjoyed this story thanks for sharing!

This was the most ridiculous outrageous and at times unbelievable work of fiction but I loved it!
I found myself smiling and egging the characters on to get to their happily ever after. As I stated above, I found some of the story to be a bit over the top and unbelievable but I let myself just fall into the story and just enjoy it root for a love that is something you'll only find in these types of fiction.
Regardless, the characters were likeable and I found myself jealous of their love.
Oh the description says the story is for 18 above because of the hot sex scenes well I was slightly disappointed to not see any. However, the story was fine without the gratuitous sex usually found in this type of book.
Great job writer. On to the next

Touching and Enjoyable
If you are looking for a great love story between a kind and beautiful black female and the alpha who finally finds the love of his life please read this book. There is a need for some passion and less demeaning jokes about curvy poor black but it is a good story. I think this author did an amazing job and do recommend this book and will purchase more stories to read for enjoyment. Character development was truly amazing and being raised to be a good person was so true in the female heroine in this story. I wish it had an epilogue to see their HEA with kids and a few dogs.

Ian was given a bet by his friends to marry any woman they chose after he was embarrassed by getting rejected after saying he could get any woman he wanted.Enter Brielle who is not his type and still turns him down. He offers her a million dollars for her time and they agree. They don't count on becoming attracted to each other and falling in love. He messes up and she leaves and grants him the divorce. He realizes she is what he wants, doesn't file the papers, begs her back and they work it out for a HEA.

This story was hard for me to read. I didn't like the male character. I don't like people who calls someone else names even though they may not mean them. But I told myself to put on your big girl panties on and finish the story. I will say that this is a very emotional story. I myself in her shoes but it's a hard pill to swallow. But as the story continues it gets better and you start to wish she would hurt him as he hurt her. Then at the end you are wanting more.

I have this modern-day interracial love story a five star 🌟rating because it was filled with humour, drama, and healing with Ian and Brielle coming from two different backgrounds, they compliment one another despite their differences. Kudos I am now reading 📚Raife Dalkeith, who is Ian's twin brother and royalty opposite of Ian, he's a rebel.
I would recommend this book series to anyone that is a die hard romantic as I am.

This was a very interesting story featuring Brielle and Ian. I felt for Brielle with her self-esteem issues. Ian needed to learn a lesson as well after everything he put her through with the stupid bet, and I enjoyed him trying to get Brielle back after everything that had happened. Really enjoyed the storyline and characters nice read.

Ian Dalkeith
I enjoyed reading the agreement between Brielle and Ian. That agreement quickly turned into true love. This book contains intrigue, drama, dreams, hope, abandonment, verbal abuse, persistence, determination, and finding love in unusual situations. I will be recommending this novel to everyone I know!!!

Strength in Love
Brielle was a strong independent woman. Was not afraid to speak her mind. She had a heart of gold. Cared more for others than herself. Along came Ian. What started as a farce became something magical. They were total opposites. Ian tried to keep his feelings in check. True love prevails!!!

Ending was a little forced
Ian is a jerk. I was upset about how he seemed so selfish. And all caught up in himself until the last 15% of the book. Then he became likeable. That was a little rushed.

Nice Read!
I enjoyed reading this book! However, I don't think that I would have been so forgiving with Ian! What he did was wrong, but I guess in the end it worked out! This is a book that I would recommend to others!you
