ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

''I want you. I want this. Let us have it. Just tell me you'll give me time. Give us time''

Lilian Harris is an author I discovered last year with the first book in this series and I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed the story of Dom and Chiara (first book) and see a bit of Dante and Raquel in that story (I was curious about them since that moment) and, in their book, Dante and Raquel have not disappointed (maybe this is one of the best books I've read so far this year).

The plot is simple, Raquel does not want to marry the man imposed by her family, she meets Dante (who already knew who she was), they talk, form a plan, and decide to get married. Obviously Dante has his own reasons for wanting to marry Raquel (go read book 1) and she has no idea. And what begins as a marriage to help her and for him to get his plans, ends up being something else. And this is where the good starts because they start having feelings when she knows that marriage is temporary and he MUST NOT feel that way about her.

Dante is a character who is not shy to say what he thinks, is someone charismatic and charming, but with that dangerous side that, let's be honest, makes him irresistible.

Raquel is a character that surprised me, like Chiara, she had no idea about anything. She is someone who decides to escape the fate imposed by her family, a hateful family. I liked the closure of the character as far as her family and as she found in Chiara, Dom and Dante her new family.

The moments between Dante and Raquel are fun, charming, spicy and honest, especially when they start to develop feelings and really trust each other.

I liked the appearance of Dom and Chiara, but Lilian we have to talk, what did you do?
And I'm already excited for Enzo and his book, because that ending, without words.
