Fabulous

Oh my each one of Katie Dowe stories are so unique and amazing ! They are so beautiful and exciting and full of romantic chemistry and which is sizzling with hot passion and the characters are awesome, and oh the passion just burns up the pages with chemistry thats scorching. The ladies are independent but lovable and men will make you want to melt. This series always gives you such a pleasurable experience that you will definitely enjoy reading them all. They are so believable and captivating that you will want to read them more than once. It's a great love affair that makes you smile at the happy couple you are reading about. I really enjoyed reading this series it's written with such extraordinary imagination that makes them a pleasurable and beautiful experience to read. If I could I would give them ten stars because they are for sure worth five stars.

Sacrificial Love❤️

An arranged marriage in this century! They both were told it was to help their family’s business and so Carla and Rory agreed to be the sacrifice. Their families had been in a feud for a hundred years and no one really knew the cause, but when Rory Radisson laid eyes on his future wife he couldn’t help being mesmerized by her beauty. After having lunch with her, he was succumbed by her wit, fierceness and business prowess! They were both enamored with each other and had fallen in love!🦋

Rory and Carla - Love of a Lifetime

I genuinely enjoyed this book. Although I thought for sure Slyvie would be the trouble but instead a new character, Aria, was on the scene and tried to wreck havoc in their marriage. At first, the hatred between the 2 families, the marriage of convenience…or sacrificial lamb, proved to be intriguing with the shot heard around their world, yet the love and understanding that it produced made this one of my favorite Katie Dowe books! I only wish everyone was not ‘darling’! What’s up with that?

Unexpected Love

Their marriage was one of convenience, neither of them wanted to marry a stranger, but for the sake of the family they agreed to marry. It didn't take them long to like each other and fall in love.
I loved Rory's shyness and vulnerability, even though he is really though as nail ... Love has a way of changing you.
I loved the parents, I understand Blake's pride , he had to learn the hard way.
Aria, wow ! With a friend like that who needs an enemy!
Really loved it !!

Strong Love

Rory is the kind of husband most women wish they have. Carla is just the woman he needs strong and feisty. Her dad is an ass, after he made the decision for her to marry to end the feud he was too proud to take help for the bank where it was his fault that cause all the problems. Ms Dowe again you were great, keep writing, I have read all the books in the first and second series.
Thanks

Arranged Marriage That Ended In Love

Rory and Carla were two individuals whose parents put in place an arranged marriage that neither wanted to participate in but felt obligated in order to end their families feud. They quickly and surprisingly fell in love. Carla's family business provided a lot of drama but Rory remained by her side.

Rory and Carla

I'm glad that this marriage worked out. I liked the way this story about the couple played out. An arranged marriage that actually found the couple falling in love, quickly.

The periphery was so convoluted, that it didn't add anything to the story.🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Their HEA was good.

Another happy couple

One would think that after reading 70 books in this series that it is too predictable but each couple have their road to love with a different way of getting there. Low angst steamy moments and your typical arranged married love story makes for a pleasant read.

Rory and Carla

I thought it was a great read. Its funny how you are willing to sacrifice yourself for family and it worked out for you in the long run. Carla's friend should be ashamed of herself trying to get with her friends husband after he was so kind to her.
