Summary
Jack and I， we did everything backward。 The day he lured me into his office-which was also the first day we met-he proposed。 You'd think a guy who looked like him-a bit cold maybe， but still striking and very unattainable-would only ask the love of his life to marry him， right？ You'd think he must be madly in love。
Nope。 It was me he asked。 A complete stranger who had never even heard of him。 A stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé only weeks before。 You'd think I'd laugh in his face， call him insane-and a few other names-then walk away as quickly as possible。 Well…I did all those things except the walking away part。
It took him only minutes to talk me into a business deal…erm， I mean marriage， and only days for us to officially tie the knot。 Happiest day of my life。 Magical。 Pop the champagne… Not。 It was the worst day。 Jack Hawthorne was nothing like what I'd imagined for myself。
I blamed him for my lapse in judgment。 I blamed his eyes， the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine unapologetically， and that frown on his face I had no idea I would become so fascinated with in time。
It wasn't long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change。 No， he still didn't talk much， but anyone can string a few words together。 His actions spoke the loudest to me。 And day after day my heart started to get a mind of its own。
One second he was no one。 The next he became everything。
One second he was unattainable。 The next he seemed to be completely mine。
One second I thought we were in love。 The next it was still nothing but a lie。
After all， I was Rose and he was Jack。 We were doomed from the very beginning with those names。 Did you expect anything else？

Omg where do I start this book was so good I don’t know how to describe it all， a slowburn grumpy/sunshine book what else do you want！First of all rose she is such a lovely soul I just wanted to be her friend and share everything with her， but jack omg JACK he is everything you want and more so grumpy in the beginning and seeing him slowly melt for rose was the cutest thing I ever read。These two where definitely made for each other and the way you could read how they thought about each other mad Omg where do I start this book was so good I don’t know how to describe it all， a slowburn grumpy/sunshine book what else do you want！First of all rose she is such a lovely soul I just wanted to be her friend and share everything with her， but jack omg JACK he is everything you want and more so grumpy in the beginning and seeing him slowly melt for rose was the cutest thing I ever read。These two where definitely made for each other and the way you could read how they thought about each other made it so much better。 I am definitely in love with this couple and could not get enough。 。。。more

Jack Hawthorne， ily。 Did I stay up at 2 am to finish this book？ YUP AND IT WAS SOOO GOOD。 I loved it from beginning to end。 Jack and Rose’s dynamic and development was amazing and so well written。 Ella Maise understood the grumpy/sunshine assignment， and it did NOT disappoint at all。

Bon roman pour lire à la plage， pas prise de tête et belle histoire d'amour。 Roman très prévisible mais qui se lit facilement， bien écrit。 Bon roman pour lire à la plage， pas prise de tête et belle histoire d'amour。 Roman très prévisible mais qui se lit facilement， bien écrit。 。。。more

I found this book by chance。 Originally I was looking for something and found this but I’m grateful that I did。 Marriage for one took me by a surprise， the chemistry between Jack and Rose was AMAZING。 I normally DO NOT gravitate towards slow burns but this book has the right amount of slow burn。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I would read it again

3。75 starsLet’s be honest I read this bc of Steph bohrer Non cliché necessarily though it does have many very-popular tropes along the whole book！ It DID make me not hate the arranged marriage trope anymore…However I would definitely say the first 60% of the books was much much better in comparison to the 40%， as this seemed a bit rushed and without cause except for the （obvious） mid-book problem that always happens :）Yet overall I love both characters （GRUMPY AND SUNSHINE DUO！！！） and would def 3。75 starsLet’s be honest I read this bc of Steph bohrer Non cliché necessarily though it does have many very-popular tropes along the whole book！ It DID make me not hate the arranged marriage trope anymore…However I would definitely say the first 60% of the books was much much better in comparison to the 40%， as this seemed a bit rushed and without cause except for the （obvious） mid-book problem that always happens :）Yet overall I love both characters （GRUMPY AND SUNSHINE DUO！！！） and would def give a try to the same author！ Congrats x 。。。more

Ahh I don’t even know what to say about this book I’m literally speechless because it was so good！ Jack and Rose truly belong together and it was so cute seeing the moment they started falling for each other。 I tried to take my time reading it because I never wanted to finish and I’ll be thinking about it for a while， definitely one of my favourite reads this year！

This book is a fun read！ It was my first Ella Maise's book and I can't wait to read more！ Somehow it was a bit predictable but I love it nonetheless。 The story goes the way I wanted， and I'm glad I get to read it☺️ This book is a fun read！ It was my first Ella Maise's book and I can't wait to read more！ Somehow it was a bit predictable but I love it nonetheless。 The story goes the way I wanted， and I'm glad I get to read it☺️ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 67% of this book had me distracted by her nose drip。 Honestly could not get into the story with that going on every other page！！！

LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES。 THE BEST SLOWBURN EVER。 Not exactly “enemies” to lovers per say but they still didn’t like each other at first so i count it as enemies to lovers :）fast paced so it’s great if you are trying to get out of a reading slump， i literally read the whole thing in less then a day😳😳

I am obsessed Ugh。 I binged this book in a day despite working a 9 hour shift in between （I read as much as I could on my breaks lol）。 I am an absolute sucker for a contempt romance especially when they’re slow burn but manage to not make the story completely slow。 This book was a perfect balance， it had me laughing， worried and blushing。

"I risked losing you to have a shot at yoi， Rose。 I'd do it again in a heartbeat。"so， status update: it's almost three am and i've spent the last five hours reading this book start to finish， listening to all the albums that released recently that i haven't gotten to yet， while also for some reason playing hors long ocean videos youtube because i felt like it and found them calming。 you can see the damage the Very Important Exam has done to me， but i can happily say i'm officially done with "I risked losing you to have a shot at yoi， Rose。 I'd do it again in a heartbeat。"so， status update: it's almost three am and i've spent the last five hours reading this book start to finish， listening to all the albums that released recently that i haven't gotten to yet， while also for some reason playing hors long ocean videos youtube because i felt like it and found them calming。 you can see the damage the Very Important Exam has done to me， but i can happily say i'm officially done with it and only have to worry about editing my BA， so i'll be back on my usual reading grind - and i happened to pick the BEST book to start off with。the characters were so loveable and unique。 the story had all my favorite tropes - starting with fake married to strangers to friends to lovers， to the GODDAMN RINGS ！！！！！！！！！！！ I SCREAMED EVERY TIME THE RING WAS MENTIONED ！！！ GODDAMMIT ！！！！！！！ it's fine i'm fine。 the story was compelling and i couldn't stop turning the pages to find out what would happen next and how jack and rose's love story would unfold。i didn't even realise this was 500 pages。 i was devouring it - much like i devoured zapata's all rhodes lead here a while back。 this has become an instant favorite and i cannot recommend it enough！（（as a content warning though， i want to point out that one of the main character suffers an illness which takes up quite a bit of the novel， so maybe don't pick this up if you want something completely lighthearted and be sure you're ready for the medical details that occur in the book。 another warning is that the character suffers from claustrophobia yet has to go through the closed MRI， so if that could make you uncomfortable please be careful！）） 。。。more

I just have been made speechless。 Damn you jack Hawthorne。 You’ve made my ovaries combust。 This man， the grumpiest， sexist， even funniest because let’s face it he was funny in his own broody way is everything a girl could wish for 。“I will always love you。” he continued before I could catch my breath。 “Even when you’re annoyed with me， even when I do something you don’t like and you have no idea why you decided to keep me， I will always love you。”Imagine， imagine him saying that to you and tell I just have been made speechless。 Damn you jack Hawthorne。 You’ve made my ovaries combust。 This man， the grumpiest， sexist， even funniest because let’s face it he was funny in his own broody way is everything a girl could wish for 。“I will always love you。” he continued before I could catch my breath。 “Even when you’re annoyed with me， even when I do something you don’t like and you have no idea why you decided to keep me， I will always love you。”Imagine， imagine him saying that to you and tell me you can’t swoon。 Like seriously all you have to do is look at this man and boom pregnant。I fell deeply in love with rose & jack’s relationship from the get go。 Everything about them together made me feel overjoyed。 My heart was full with the passion the author had。 No matter what happened I was hooked。 I could read jack & rose’s story over again and not get bored。 5* all the way。 。。。more
