I have had this series in my TBR for a while, knowing that I wanted to read it around Valentine’s Day due to the covers and themes. I especially loved the first book since the opposites attract and grumpy x sunshine tropes were so entertaining. Although I did not love the couple in the second book as much, the chemistry and marriage of convenience were great. All in all, this was an amusing series that I can recommend to anyone who wants some sweet and spicy HEA stories.
