B.J. Harvey (1)

This has the appearance of cheating from the blurb.

No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.

The Hero is in an business arranged marriage but thinks it's off, meets the heroine falls for her then returns home and learns him mums cancer has returned and he needs to fulfill his 'obligation'.
The engagement is part of the business deal, his fiancee has feelings for him, he then proceeds to have a relationship with the heroine again, while engaged.
It is protrayed that the engagment is not a real relationship so not technically cheating.
He is not intimate with the fiancee and hasn't been for years.
We have a suspected pregnant for the fiancee which calls the Hero's word into question.
The heroine has a friends with benefits arrangement with another man in the time of separation.
The Hero says he hasn't been with anyone else.
The separation occurs as he ghosts her so she moves on.
HEA, which is a bit abrupt but I assume we will see the couple appear in books about other couples in the series.

If you love a great rom-com read, look no further than Ms. Harvey's Game Series. As luck will have it, this novel definitely can stand alone. I recommend book 1 as it was funny, romantic and a perfect lazy-day-I-just-want-to-read book, but not necessary. BJ Harvey introduces you to past character's within the story so you don't feel lost. Dani and Zach's story will not disappoint.

"Hey vagina, take a picture . It'll last longer."

The novel is told in a dual POV. However, it's lines like above that when the readers is in Dani's head, I couldn't stop from laughing out loud. For those of us who are slightly geeky and awkward, you can relate to the character of Dani. But she isn't so awkward that she seems juvenile. This strong, smart woman is who attracts our hot firefighter, Zach. Whoa Baby!! If you love your male leads not be a manwhore but actually relationship driven, you'll definitely be in love with Zach.

This novel is a really perfect read. The story is evenly paced, never bogs down with heavy drama or angst. Keeps the reader wanting to come back for more. Can't wait for Cade and Abi! 5 out of 5 stars.

Yes! YES!! This is everything I want in the perfect contemporary romance/summer read for a day. Cute relatable couple, humor interspersed, great secondary characters and no angst!

Did you read that no angst? Is there an obstacle for the couple to overcome? Yes. However *gasp* they handle everything like --- wait for it --- ADULTS!! I mean they communicate. I know. I know. No, I didn't hit my head and imagine this story. But, lest you are confused by my review - I recommend you BUY this book.

Abi and Cade were everything I love. Strong, open and ready with open hearts for the possibility of more. and Hot? Did I mention when the doors close they are hot? Why, yes. Yes they are. If you are familiar with BJ Harvey's series, you'll be delighted to know all your favorite characters return and you get to meet some awesome new secondary characters. The story is fluid and fun. Just the best read to park yourself in a comfy chair and get lost in.

Can it standalone if you've not read the series? Yes, Ms Harvey gives you a complete couple story with introductions to the previous characters without ever feeling lost. Go buy this book and enjoy! 5 out of 5 stars.
