Carian Cole
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 and a big heart. Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up 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 he rushed me to the emergency room. Those weren't exactly my best moments, but they were his. 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, married to a man sixteen years older than me who I was never supposed to fall in love with. We had just one simple rule-no kissing the bride. But then, we broke that rule. Now, I really don't want that divorce we agreed to. Does he? Author's Note: This is a standalone contemporary romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Not for readers under 18 years of age.

"Could have left out the last couple of plot additions and it would have been perfect, but otherwise it honestly was such a good romance! Main man never seemed creepy. He was hot and he loves the main girl so much it made me jealous. She does seem a little immature here and there but otherwise their romance is pretty believable. Marriage for convenience may be the only way I will ever accept age gap romance. It was surprisingly well done. "

"It’s a good story about an older (like maybe 30) trying to help a girl with an eating disorder but then they fall for each other even tho he fights it because she’s only 18 or 19 "

"This book was amazing. Quickly became a favorite. Slow burn, believable romance with great characters. I didn’t know how I would feel about an age gap love but I cheered for them the whole time. I really enjoyed learning about Skylar’s mental health challenges and watching her fight for herself. Cannot recommend this book enough. "

"Loved it! Maybe he could stop thinking about the age gap at one point and just go for it… maybe I wanted them to stop wasting time 😂🤷🏽♀️"

"<strong>Good</strong><br/><br/>I really liked it. I enjoyed it. It was sweet and cute but also some angst which adds to the appeal. Jude was perfect adds Skylab few up too fast because of the was she was living."

"It’s exactly what it says it is. If you like the age-gap trope and are looking for a light read, this is fine. The stakes are low as far as plot. And it was interesting to learn about her eating disorder. <br/>It’s skimmable."

"Great age gap recommended is connected to Torn series by same author but may be read stand alone! "
