Reviews
“The plot of this book sparked my interest,
a matchmaker whose latest client is a
rowdy princess, and it didn’t disappoint.
There was the perfect amount of angst
between these two and the chemistry was
off the charts. Then there was the steam
that was 🔥🔥. And that nod to Breaking
Character and Lorena reading it five times
was on point.”

“A wholesome, heartwarming internet best friends to lovers + marriage of convenience romance!
This is a slow burn that will melt your heart. Santiago and Mariana’s friendship, understanding and care for each other really hit my heart in many ways.”
“5 stars even though a novella. I was so sold on Nicola that she made me weep and Even though it was short I was totally tied in. Took some time warming up, but loved it. Recommended & I'll look for more books by Ivy L James.”
