I’m what people call
a charmer. Maybe it’s the drawl, maybe it’s the dimples, or maybe
it’s the entire ex-Special-Forces package. Either way, I’ve never met a woman I
haven’t been able to sweep off their feet . . . until Mallory Monroe. The only
female on our team, she’s all fierce words, brave actions, and impenetrable
walls around her heart. She’s also the only girl I’ve ever loved.
After burying my feelings for over a decade, I’m not surprised I dream of
waking up married to her. Except, it isn’t a dream; the certificate claiming we’re
husband and wife is real, and neither of us remembers a thing. Dream come true
or not, I never wanted this. Not when my new bride looks horrified, accuses me
like our situation is my fault, and demands we “fix it.”
But while I’d do almost anything for her—including taking a bullet for her,
again—leaving her, in any sense of the word, isn’t one of those things. And
when Mallory makes no move to annul our secret marriage, even months later, I
decide to test the waters by attempting to date my wife.
My Review: Does this book have to be your next reads?! YES, a millions times over.
I love everything Molly writes, to this day I've yet to say anything is less than 5 stars and this one is no exception.
Hudson and Mallory finally get their story and it was worth the wait.
Mallory has a past that really stays with her and it comes out when it comes to her relationship with Hudson. She needs to feel, she needs to be happy, loved, wanted and all the things. Plus Hudson is the guy she swore wouldn't be someone she falls in love with. That's her best friends and that it. No secret swoons, no crossing the line, just none of that now.
So uh.... what happens when drinking leads to getting drunk that leads to getting married?? Um, oops??
But that's okay because Hudson hasn't a clue what's happened either, so it's all good. A drunken mistake and they can undo it right? But do they really want to....will this finally be the reason Mallory can give into her feelings for Hudson. Will Hudson stop working his magic on others and finally get it to work on Mallory??
The way my heart was aching for them, heartstrings pulled, edge of my seat screaming for these two to hurry it along already and so much more.
If you want romance, tension, friends to lovers, fake marriage, and a book just packed with everything you need to require the tissue box. Then look no further. You need these books on your self like yesterday.
Seriously though, get the tissues. Idk how she does it, but Molly's writing always gets to me. Heck, to this day I still have feelings over her Taking Chances series that holds a special place in my heart. So get ready for an emotional but amazing romantic read!!
I can't wait to see what Molly is going to come up with next!!!
