Aiden Graves takes a good 1/4 of this book to even start opening up, but when he finally does... hot damn. What a lead. I love the marriage of convenience setup here because there's no way these two characters would ever have spent the time together to actually seed true romance without it. But when it finally worked out, it was fantastic. I really liked Vanessa, but Aiden was the true star of the thing. His arc from surly scowling grunting man to an actual viable boyfriend/husband was really well done.
