Reviewed by Danielle BergMarriages of convenience are so...inconvenient. Impulsively, the main character marries the Irishman musician, her infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway—in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting—will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago? This book was well done. I enjoyed the characters and the way they all interacted together, there was less annoyance than usual in some related type books. There were enough instances in which you wanted to scream "just talk to each other!!" at the characters, but that seems common enough. It was still cute and entertaining and I really liked the male character and could understand the woman's perspective as well (even if I didn't always agree with it). They at least grew as characters. The book did not feel like it dragged on at any point either, which is a major plus.
