Whew!

I love the Bergman family. If you asked me to choose between the Winston Brothers (Penny Reid series) and the Bergman family I would curse you and your future offspring.

So I think we've grasped my love for the Bergman's.

This book is one we've been waiting for! You could sense the interactions between these characters in previous books and wow, it was so great to see them together! I love seeing the Bergman family weave in and out of this novel, it's so fun to unite with old friends! I loved the dual POV the story was told in. I found myself firmly on team Axel...which is strange because I couldn't sworn I was team Ryder...then Ren then... well, you get the drift. It featured every trope I could want: there's only one bed, fake relationship, marriage of convenience. I mean *fans oneself* it was great! I can't wait for the next installment! 2022 can't come soon enough!

This is a high steam novel- coming in at 5 out of 5.

I would rate it 4 ish out of 5 stars

(notice the “ISH” there because I kept going back and forth on the rating)

The parts that lost me in the book were the self actualized conversations. This will probably not bother a lot of readers, but it was a sticking point for me. There was a plot point revolving a charades clue that wasn't particularly believable, as well as Rooney's reasoning to agree to the marriage. And lastly, I needed a final resolution regarding the wedding rings in a scene at the end. But perhaps that will be brought up in a future installment.

Overall I would definitely recommend the book to every fan of steamy romance novels! Seriously, pick up this series, you'll love it!
