Fake marriage to inherit a 300 year old home and impress grandma. Also dodging tricky visa and immigration complications. *gasps*

Say hello to the fake marriage trope!

Truly lovely way to learn about Amsterdam and Dutch culture.

Wouter van Leeuwen. What a name.

CommerX (is giving me freaky tech vibes). However this book has immersive descriptions of Amsterdam, and Dani on a journey of self discovery!

Gimme a book about Oliver.

Worlds are finally coming together and characters are melding.

Ok I love everything happening, and I can confidently say this is a slow burn romance novel.

Aiden is DOWN BAD for Lucie.

Don’t you love when authors plant little seeds for potential future books? Say hello to Jackson and Delilah.

Lucie’s a mechanic! Plus Maya is in full romance matchmaker mode. Scheming away to end her mom’s romance troubles. 👩🏽‍🔧

Did I smile like a Cheshire Cat at the end of chapter two? The set up was damn good and I’m impressed.

The time has come. I’m finally reading this book! ☎️

Finally a kilt appears.

So much has happened! Tristan, ankle pain, green silk dress! GAH! It’s all fabulous. 😩

Helena. An icon.

Finally! A Squid Game reference in a book. 👏🏽

Such a promising start and the banter 💯.

Love that the first chapter made me laugh out loud.

The references to Bridgerton?! 🫶🏽🥲

I'm so excited to read this book. It's one of my highly anticipated reads of 2025 and to get an early chance to read this is amazing. I've been quite disappointed with reviews shared of this book here on Goodreads and on NetGalley, and I hope to provide a different perspective. One with awareness of the inspiration and source material.
