Marriage For One
von Ella Maise
Jack and I, we did everything backward. The day he lured me into his office-which was also the first day we met-he proposed. You'd think a guy who looked like him-a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable-would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd think he must be madly in love.Nope. It was me he asked. A complete stranger who had never even heard of him. A stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé only weeks before. You'd think I'd laugh in his face, call him insane-and a few other names-then walk away as quickly as possible. Well...I did all those things except the walking away part.It took him only minutes to talk me into a business deal...erm, I mean marriage, and only days for us to officially tie the knot. Happiest day of my life. Magical. Pop the champagne... Not. It was the worst day. Jack Hawthorne was nothing like what I'd imagined for myself.I blamed him for my lapse in judgment.I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine unapologetically, and that frown on his face I had no idea I would become so fascinated with in time.It wasn't long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change. No, he still didn't talk much, but anyone can string a few words together. His actions spoke the loudest to me. And day after day my heart started to get a mind of its own.One second he was no one. The next he became everything.One second he was unattainable. The next he seemed to be completely mine.One second I thought we were in love. The next it was still nothing but a lie.After all, I was Rose and he was Jack. We were doomed from the very beginning with those names. Did you expect anything else?

Rezension von LennyReads2 ⭐️ I liked the slowburn aspect. There wasn't much plot, but that's okay for the story itself. At some points I enjoyed the relationship between the two, but that changed from moment to moment. He gave massive obsessive stalker vibes and that was a big no-no for me. If it wasnt for that and the whole storyline behind it, I would have rated it way higher. The only line that stuck to me: ,Rough life, stalker life’ - not a good sign I guess.
Rezension von MarieJACKROSE MY FOREVER BABIESSS
Rezension von LuciaThis book was so beautiful. Rose and Jack have my heart. *cries* I loved every part of this book from the beginning to the end. It was just the perfect amount of fluff and angst. The tension. The slow burn. It couldn’t possibly be written better! I laughed, I was angry and I cried a lot reading this! It was an emotional rollercoaster but I wouldn’t change it for anything. It was simply perfect. If I had to describe the perfect contemporary slow burn romance it would be exactly this book. Definitely among my favorite books this year!!! ——————second read: still as in love. Giggled like a child at Christmas the entire time. This was exactly the palette cleanser i needed to start my fantasy month. 5
Rezension von Aree3.5, me gustó que fue una lectura rápida y ligera, no conecté mucho con la trama pero aún así está entretenida, también me gustaron éstos locos intensos ✨
Rezension von Ansodescribe this book in a few words? simple: too damn long. there was no reason for this to drag out for nearly 600 pages. and apart from that the characters were freaking annoying most of the time and the storylines were just so over the top dramatic but then resolved without a real climax ( <spoiler>like Rose's illness. we knew nothing would happen to her - there were after all arouns 250 pages left at that point. or what real purpose did Rose's cousins serve? they added literally nothing substantial to the plot since they appeared both maybe what 2-3 times each? </spoiler> . the dialogues were crinch-worthy and reading in general just felt seriously awkward at times. sure, there were some nicely written scenes, especially in the beginning. but the length definitely made the quality take a huge hit. so really it comes down to my opening words: it was just too damn long!
