Summary
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。

this book。 A great marriage of convenience/slow-burn book with a strong witty female mc and grumpy love interest。 Recommend to anyone who loves fluffy romance books with some good spice and humor！FULL REVIEWThis was such a fun read and I am so glad I get to share my review with all of y’all！ If you’ve read The Fine Print， the first book in The Dreamland Billionaire series， you will definitely love this book。 I love how all the characters are in the same universe and it was so fun to read about how Declan and Iris get together after the small cameos in The Fine Print。 I am such a sucker for the marriage of convenience / fake dating trope and it was executed amazingly in this book！ It’s everything you need if you are looking for a light-hearted romance with a hint of spice and humor。 And to my swiftie bookish people， if you like the album Lover， you’ll love this book too （as a swiftie and lover fan， I was already excited for the book when I first saw the book playlist。 Lauren Asher makes the best book playlists hands down） Characters I loved Iris and thought she was an amazing， strong female mc who constantly stood up for herself。 She always kept Declan on his toes and was never afraid to tell him if he was wrong which made their dynamic even more entertaining to read。 Iris would constantly match Declan’s energy and there was never a time when someone had more power over the other—it was an equal balance of who called shots in their dynamic and l loved that aspect of their relationship so much。 I also thought Iris was pretty funny and her internal monologue was actually fun to read。 I would read parts of her POV chapters and think “yeah， that would be my exact thought process too”。 Like she would constantly contradict herself from having these intrusive thoughts and it had me going “OMG THATS ME” And Declan。 He is your typical grumpy + daddy issues main love interest you would usually find in any kind of billionaire romance。 But the thing that separates him from the others is the ways he GENUINELY cares and supports Iris in every shape and form。 Every little thing Declan did to make sure Iris was comfortable and taken care of just melted my goddamn heart。 And I know that sounds like the bare minimum， but I can’t spoil anything to give any specific examples， so just TRUST ME。 He is an angel who would literally burn the whole world if Iris asked。 BONUS: And Cal！ You know， I didn’t expect him to be Iris’s best friend in this book。 I thought he was going to make a small appearance the same way Declan did in The Fine Print。 But man， was I glad to be wrong because he was such a funny character！ I loved his friendship with Iris so much and how he was basically this overprotective brother for her （which is extremely ironic considering Cal is Declan’s brother even though Cal acts more like a brother for Iris LOL）。 I also really loved how Cal’s relationship with Alana was hinted at a little bit which makes me even more excited for the third book of the Dreamland Billionaire series。 Do I smell a friends to strangers to lovers trope？ Hmmm， I guess we’ll have to wait and see！ PlotLike I mentioned before， if you are looking for a light and fun romance， this is your book。 Terms and Conditions definitely fulfill those boxes， but I think the main reason why this book doesn’t get a full five stars is that there wasn’t anything that stuck out。 It was your typical romance marriage of convenience storyline and there really wasn’t anything unique about the plot。 But that’s not an entirely bad thing！ Sometimes， and in this case especially， predictable is comforting。 And what really matters is that I needed a fluffy romance and overall found the book enjoyable！Final Thoughts Parting WordsI am incredibly thankful to have been given an opportunity to read the ARC and give my review on it。 This book was an incredibly cute read and Iris and Declan’s story is definitely up there for being a greatly executed marriage of convenience story。 The third book in the Dreamland Billionaire series is about Cal and Alana and I am super pumped to read about them！ Cal made the book absolutely hilarious and because he is such the opposite of his two brothers， his story definitely piques my interest！ But before we get all excited for Cal’s book， go and pre-order Terms and Conditions RIGHT NOW。 I recommend this book to anyone who LOVES the marriage of convenience trope with a grumpy male mc and a strong， witty female mc。 I also recommend this book to people who enjoy fluffy romances and whose love languages are acts of service and gift-giving。 （and if you are a crazy plant lady who would choose plants over anything， I think you’ll like this book too :D） 。。。more

LAUREN ASHER， YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAINi feel like I’ve been waiting CENTURIES for declan and iris’ book （even though it was only about 9 months or so） and they didn’t disappoint in the slightest。 iris is a fireball of a character and declan is absolutely perfect。 seeing a man like declan pining for iris’ love and HER being the one with commitment issues was so refreshing。 anyway， i just wanted to say that i’m lauren asher’s number one fan。 everything this woman writes is GOLDARC provided in exchan LAUREN ASHER， YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAINi feel like I’ve been waiting CENTURIES for declan and iris’ book （even though it was only about 9 months or so） and they didn’t disappoint in the slightest。 iris is a fireball of a character and declan is absolutely perfect。 seeing a man like declan pining for iris’ love and HER being the one with commitment issues was so refreshing。 anyway， i just wanted to say that i’m lauren asher’s number one fan。 everything this woman writes is GOLDARC provided in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

this was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and i was ECSTATIC to have received the ARC。 this book was a joy to read and i couldn’t stop thinking about them whenever i had to put the book down。 i was in the middle of a reading slump when this landed in my kindle and the fact that i couldn’t stop reading shows just how this book captivated me from the very beginning。 iris quickly became one of my favourites and i loved the representation of a strong black woman who is also allowed the ca this was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022 and i was ECSTATIC to have received the ARC。 this book was a joy to read and i couldn’t stop thinking about them whenever i had to put the book down。 i was in the middle of a reading slump when this landed in my kindle and the fact that i couldn’t stop reading shows just how this book captivated me from the very beginning。 iris quickly became one of my favourites and i loved the representation of a strong black woman who is also allowed the capacity to be vulnerable and soft and caring （which is something that was very rarely portrayed） so i really loved her characterisation。 declan is the perfect grumpy， filthy rich， older man that we all （👀） want in our lives and i loved reading from his perspective and understanding why he is the way he is！lauren did an amazing job fleshing both of these characters out and i loved learning about them and seeing them both come together in the best way possible。 i really enjoyed the back and forth banter and how they first became friends - which is something they were both lacking - before fully committing to a relationship。 the word game was another thing that i ADORED， i was looking forward to it every chapter and i think it was such a great touch to the story and in showing both their difficulties with words。 also a girl LOVES obsessed boy trope so even a HINT of that and i’m hooked so that was a lovely surprise *wink wink*another favourite of mine is grovelling and ahhh it was chefs kiss！ lauren asher really knows how to win all our hearts！this series is slowly becoming one of my favourite and i desperately need the third book as second chance romance are literally my personality by this point and i NEED all that angst！ 。。。more
