Love seeing how they slowly build up their relationship, falling into their adorable daily routine, standing up up for each other in times of need and slowly started falling for each other. Taking the roller from me, he put it back down and then started to roll up his stark white—and extremely expensive—sleeves. Then why does her heart flutter when he frowns, bring her roses or why does she feel this strange pull towards him whenever he played with kids or eat her lemon bars?

On another note, the main conflict hinged on the hero not being fully transparent with ‘something,’ and he didn’t admit to it until the last 20%—so you have the (drawn out) ���withholding secrets’ trope. Her boyfriend broke up with her few weeks ago and now a blue eyed stranger is asking her to marry him out of the blue. We walked away from this story with hearts that were full of warmth in this entertaining, sexy and fabulously fun read!I swear he may look grumpy all the time with his permanent frown on his face but he is the sweetest and adorable man atleast when it comes to Rose you know. Ugh I honestly should've just DNF'ed this book after that cheesy as hell line but instead I tortured myself by finishing this. I’m not saying that to deter you; it is a FANTASTIC book that will linger in my memory for a long time to come, but you’ve got to stick around for the romance to turn a corner. And all the hard work, all the sleepless nights, all the anxiety that comes with publishing…everything is worth it at the end.

The aura that oozes from him, the confidence, the determination, is what makes Jack Hawthorne the character that he is truly meant to be. I swear to god, I SWEAR TO GOD if I don't get married to a man for a business deal OR AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE I would not let anyone live in peace, in fact, I would not know peace.However, that didn’t mean I couldn’t appreciate how good he looked with stubble, that sharp jawline, his unique and captivating blue eyes, or the fact that he had a body that wore suits extremely well. The blog has since had well over one million views, but my reading preferences haven’t changed all that much. I will kiss you a thousand times every day if that’s what it takes to keep you in love with me for the rest of our days. And his smiles ahhh rose counted them, she counted his smiles and the end of each chapter that was so sweeeeet. The story was beautiful and the plot twist in the end about why Jack did all he did was perfectly laid out.

This is a pure example that she falls first BUT HE FALLS HARDER 🤌 “What are you doing on New Year’s? Before I turn this into an even more long winded post, I just want to say I hope you’ll give Jack and Rose a shot and love them just as much as I do.I wasn’t sure why I was reluctant to leave, it couldn’t possibly be because I wanted to talk to her more, but there I was just standing there like an idiot. We are no longer accepting applications for the job of GOLD STANDARD for the grumpy/sunshine and arranged marriage trope! Gahhh when he kisses her temple or rubs circles on her back or pushes her hair out of her face or touches his forehead to hers or caresses the back of her head- BAM I’m 🤰🤰🤰🤰🤰 he’s perrrfect. So Jack saved her, paid out a shitload of money to her relatives and this uber douche ex-fiancé of Rose's just to hide his secret.
