Bartered Vows by Alexa Michaels
5.0
This is my second book that I have read from this author. And like before she did not disappoint. In fact I loved this book more than her other book that I read.
- Dark romance
- Billionaire
- Arranged marriage
- Grumpy/sunshine
Lia is a peppy and cherry woman who is a pediatric doctor. Her parents are wealthy and she grew up wealthy. You cannot tell it because she has such a good heart. James has not had the best life growing up. He and his brother Elliot had a very hard life. James worked hard, and did many illegal thing and still does, to give he and Elliot a better life as adults. Even though, Elliot’s wife is the most disgusting person you will ever meet, and Elliot is the sweetest.
Lia’s father has made some bad money deals with James. And James has given him only two choices. One he must be killed. The other is, to save his life, Lia will marry him. Her father brings this up to her and because she is as sweet as she is, she agrees.
It happens right away. But you learn throughout the book that Lia is tougher than you thought and that James is softer than you thought. So it makes them surprise each other so much that feelings are easily developed.
Even the side characters are intriguing. Elliot is my favorite side character. He’s so perky and lovable. I love how she brings in mental illness with him. I would love another book that would focus on him, but I wouldn’t be upset if it focuses on Lia and James. I just loved them so much. They were adorable with each other. “Little wife”. Make sure you add this to your TBR right away!
I received this book as an ARC. My review was my honest opinion and was not influenced in anyway.
