Between Commitment and Betrayal: An Arranged Marriage Romance (Hardy Billionaires)

Product Information

There’s drama and there’s angst. The difference between the two is the development that leads to either one or the other. I prefer the latter, with it being the result of a natural progression of events. With angst, there’s a build-up, a proper story that gives way to palpable emotion. Drama just exists. There isn’t always a catalyst for it, and if there is, it is almost never significant. It just exists for the sake of it. Unfortunately, in this novel, all we got was very stereotypical drama. This story was basically just the mcs wanting to piss each other off just because they had nothing better to do. There was literally no emotional connection between them, just smut. And every time they interacted I wanted to claw my eyes out from how pathetic and unreal they were. When she isn't writing, she's spending the days with Doc G, Liv and Gray Gray, and their wild golden retriever. She and Doc G drink way too much coffee, eat way too much candy, and fight like they've been married for hmm how long has it been now? anyway he’s seen all over with her sister and then he finally tells everly that it was all a setup to get her moms studio, he was never going to be with anastasia, etc. this girl folds so fast lmao like she was all hell bent on divorce, she’s quitting, moving on but he tells her that and it’s all forgotten. embarrassing Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

Edit: i should inform yall about a scene that this book had and i can't stop thinking about. The fmc was wearing another player's jersey AND THE MMC WENT LIVID, LIVID WITH JEALOUSLY AND DEMANDED SHE REMOVE IT RIGHT AWAY. This. Thankyou Particularly when I return his kisses with one of my own, despite the fact that we are both aware that it is a phoney kiss. Jealously is “fun” for one scene, and then after that, it’s annoying! How many times do I need to read about the girl getting jealous because her annoying stepsister has her hands all over her husband's arm?

I’m treating you like my wife. And if your boyfriend puts his hands on you, he better know I’m breaking them.” And as more conditions arise, it’s clear there’s a fine line between commitment and betrayal… and neither of us knows where that line falls. I could say so many things about this book, but the only one that comes to my mind right now is yummyyyy

I love a possessive man in a book, but not to the point where all I’m thinking about is “can this man just shut up for one second and let her do her job of training a man” or whatever the hell her job was. This special Barnes & Noble edition features a unique cover colorway, as well as exclusive in-text annotations from Katee Robert about scenes in the book. Do you know what it’s like to have your body taken hostage and controlled by someone you thought would never hurt you? To give that trust and then they proceed to do their worst with it?” 😢

The sex scenes were hot and great! But the relationship just put a bad taste in my mouth. He didn’t seem dominant to me outside of the bedroom-just inconsiderate but pretending he was. I can see that she cares for him but i unfortunately cannot be convinced he really cares for her. To me, it feels like Declan completely steam rolled over Everly the entire time. The marriage? No discussion it’s happening. The baby? Well he wants it so it has to happen. He talks about how strong she is but refuses to listen to what she’s saying. The way he interacted with her frustrated me SO much. To me, it felt like he wasn’t actually trying to communicate with her. Everly has two step sisters, one who is literally THE DEVIL, and the other who is the only person actually trying to form a relationship with her. Everly is so dang strong and she had an AWFUL past with a different popular golden boy in her small town & you learn how much she had to go through. I was rooting for her HEA. I very clearly missed a series with Declan’s siblings or maybe his brother-in-laws. There was so much going on in that regard that I was just lost. Truly, the men didn’t interest me very much, giving off the same vibe as Declan, but I might look into it if only for his sisters that seem absolutely hilarious.
