She's his fianc�e's younger sister。 He's the man she's always loved。
When her sister doesn't show up on her wedding day， Raven has no choice but to take her place - but marriage to Ares Windsor is nothing short of torture。
The elusive billionaire media mogul is the man she's always loved。。。 yet he's only ever had eyes for her sister。
Married to him at last， Raven is determined to win him over。
After all， everything is fair in love and war。
And this？
This is war。
Publisher's Note: this book contains a lot of angst。 As mentioned in the blurb， the heroine is marrying her sister's fianc�。 If this is not a theme you'd enjoy， then this book might not be for you。 This is a standalone with a guaranteed happily-ever-after， and no cheating。

This gets a star for being ridiculous enough to get me out of a reading slump， but that's about all I can say in favour of it。 If you want to tackle this - then you have to suspend ALL disbelief， because the plot makes zero sense and has literally no plausability whatsoever。 The hero was terrible; completely wishy-washy， and the heroine is a doormat。 Her parents - and his grandmother- wtf was going on there， because the reasoning behind the arranged marraige made no sense at all。 This is like a This gets a star for being ridiculous enough to get me out of a reading slump， but that's about all I can say in favour of it。 If you want to tackle this - then you have to suspend ALL disbelief， because the plot makes zero sense and has literally no plausability whatsoever。 The hero was terrible; completely wishy-washy， and the heroine is a doormat。 Her parents - and his grandmother- wtf was going on there， because the reasoning behind the arranged marraige made no sense at all。 This is like a god-awful soap opera， it just kept on getting more ridiculous。 This is where me and this author part ways， this is my second attempt at her books - and I just can't do it。 。。。more

Bom， mas achei uma enrolação sem fim com a irmã， poderia ter explorado melhor a relação com mãe na infância。

Raven has been in love with Ares for as long as she can remember。 Ares started dating her sister Hannah so there was nothing she could do about it。 Hannah doesn't show up on her wedding day to Ares so Raven has to take her place。 What happens when you're living in the shadow of your sister with your husband？ The fact that Ares calls her cupcake is adorable！ I love how possessive Ares is。 When Sierra and Raven got drunk I was shocked。 I couldn't believe Grandma was in the limo。 The amount of love Raven has been in love with Ares for as long as she can remember。 Ares started dating her sister Hannah so there was nothing she could do about it。 Hannah doesn't show up on her wedding day to Ares so Raven has to take her place。 What happens when you're living in the shadow of your sister with your husband？ The fact that Ares calls her cupcake is adorable！ I love how possessive Ares is。 When Sierra and Raven got drunk I was shocked。 I couldn't believe Grandma was in the limo。 The amount of love Raven has for Ares is beautiful。 I love the wedding rings。 Everytime Ares surprised Raven at work was never what I expected。 Everyone and everything was against Ares and Raven doing certain things。 Hannah treated Ares horribly。 Hannah not showing up was the best thing she's ever done。 Grandma is very wise。 This is an amazing story。 I laughed and cried so many times。 I finished it in one night because I just couldn't put it down。 What an epic 5 star read。 。。。more

It was really good！！！ I enjoyed a lot。 I loved the connection the main characters had but i did hate her mother and her sister so so soooooooo much that it was exhausting。 It was the same reason that prevented them giving their marriage a chance and it was hard to see them hurting because her sister didn't understand SIMPLE things。 But nonetheless it was really cute， the spicy was 。。。。。。。。。。AMAZINGG and i'm very excited for all the Windsor siblings。 It was really good！！！ I enjoyed a lot。 I loved the connection the main characters had but i did hate her mother and her sister so so soooooooo much that it was exhausting。 It was the same reason that prevented them giving their marriage a chance and it was hard to see them hurting because her sister didn't understand SIMPLE things。 But nonetheless it was really cute， the spicy was 。。。。。。。。。。AMAZINGG and i'm very excited for all the Windsor siblings。 。。。more

it has some amount of potential， but there was way too much going on to concentrate on the mcs。 the mmc was not a great hero/partner through this book as well。

it never gets better than this book I wonder if I can give this book 10/10 ， please read the book ， it doesn’t get better than this from start to end。I literally spend my whole day ready this book and couldn’t skip a word as I usually do with so many other books that I read 。I can give any spoilers because it’s worth to read it 。Thank you Catharina Maura for a beautiful writing，and the truth is，it’s my first time reading for this writer and for sure I’m planning to read more of her books。

I really enjoyed reading this but…This was a quick read and kept my attention but it’s so repetitive。 Sometimes I wondered if I was re reading a chapter。 I also think there were missed opportunities。 Raven can’t be all that forgiving and that grandmother can’t truly hold all the reins and none of those grand kids care？ So yeah some plot holes， but a fun read nevertheless。

4。5 stars。 Never disappointed by the author。 The storyline was something I’d read however I do find it too much and a heck of a rollercoaster。 And some parts just don’t sit with me at all so yea。

I really liked this book although the villain in the story really got on my nerves。 I felt like the main characters faced way to many issues， with very little happy moments。 I felt it hard to believe their connection was as strong as it was。But overall it was still a good read。

Toxic family dramaI loved the storyline and I like complicated stories。 This story has a lot of twists。 Too many for it to be a 5 star but it's still worth the read。 I got really annoyed att all the people trying to make this marriage fail and how they put Raven down。 That is the mark of a good book。 When you engage with the story and it affects you emotionally。 Toxic family dramaI loved the storyline and I like complicated stories。 This story has a lot of twists。 Too many for it to be a 5 star but it's still worth the read。 I got really annoyed att all the people trying to make this marriage fail and how they put Raven down。 That is the mark of a good book。 When you engage with the story and it affects you emotionally。 。。。more
