Carian Cole delivers a sweet but sexy slow burn, age gap, marriage of convenience romance with major swoony feels!

I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and he was my knight in shining armor. But more accurately, I was a girl with a lot of bad luck, and he was a guy with a lot of muscles and tattoos.

Jude “Lucky” Lucketti wasn’t just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero who seemed to be in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room.

Those weren’t exactly my best moments, but they were his.

We became friends, and it didn’t matter that he was sixteen years older than me. We had a lot in common—like our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars, and our painful pasts that made us leery of love and relationships.

When he approached me with a crazy idea to help me out with my many problems, I couldn’t say no. He offered me a lifeline.

The arrangement was supposed to be temporary. A marriage on paper and a safe place to live—nothing else.

It should’ve been easy, but it wasn’t. Because here I am, eighteen years old and married to a man I was never supposed to fall in love with. And now, I really don’t want that divorce we agreed to.

We had just one rule—no kissing the bride. But we broke that rule, and it sealed our fate forever.

This is the first book that I have read by this author and to my knowledge one of or only book that I have read with an age gap which might not be for everyone.
Slyer who is an eighteen-year-old in high school with a rough home life she’s got a fiery personality and awesome fashion sense.
Jude us a thirty-four-year-old construction worker that looks rough around the edges but really is a teddy bear.
What I loved about this book was that is a was slow burn and that they were able to start a friendship even if it was a meet cute damsel in distress type.
This book was an amazing intro into this author, I can’t wait to see what else this author has.
