Declan
I’m destined to become the next CEO of my family’s media empire.
The only problem? My grandfather’s inheritance clause.
Fulfilling his dying wish of getting married and having an heir seemed impossible until my assistant volunteers for the job.
Our marriage was supposed to be the perfect solution to my biggest problem.
But the more we act in love for the public, the more unsure I feel about our contract.
Caring about Iris was never part of the deal.
Especially not when breaking her heart is inevitable.
Iris
My plan to marry Declan was simple in theory.
Move in together. Throw a wedding. Have a baby.
We set rules to prevent any kind of issues.
Ones that were never meant to be broken, no matter how much Declan tempts me.
But what happens when our fake relationship bleeds into our real one?
Falling in love was never an option.
At least not for me.

See, I swear, some people craves emotional damage. No matter that you're carrying a HUGE boulder in the form of some sort of childhood trauma on your back, you just keep asking for more. It's like some kind of an addiction, perhaps?
Declan Kane is a shitload of red flag, to be honest. He's so toxic, it's revolting. I get it he is suppose to be the grumpy type, the brooding type, but no. He's an asshole through and through, there's no two ways about it. Even if he does all these sweet things for Iris, he is still a selfish prick. I could not stand Declan Kane, to be honest.
And Iris is always laughing? I mean, what the hell is wrong with you? Declan treats you like shit, and you laugh it off, almost all the time. Are you deranged? Are you so emotionally damaged that you feel like shitty behaviour is so funny? Everytime the words Iris laughed her raspy laugh appears, I wanted to pull my hair out. It. Grates. On. My. Nerve. Happy FMC is good. Happy FMC is sweet. But unreasonably laughing? Girl, you better check yourself in an institution.
Please. Please take me out of this misery.
Banter! Swoony! Grumpy!
I have loved everything I've read from Lauren Asher and this is no different. The banter in this book is second to none. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Declan and Iris. I put off reading this one thinking it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but boy was I wrong. It blew them away! Everything about this book was absolutely wonderful! From the plot to the character development to the side characters, everything was smooth and effortless.
And can we talk about how swoony the grovelling is?!
