The Temporary Wife: Luca and Valentina's Story: 2 (The Windsors)

Product Information

Para empezar la protagonista no es sumisa ni dejada al contrario es un personaje fuerte y decido a veces un poco bitch pero nunca llegué a odiarla. los matrimonio por conveniencia/arreglados se están volviendo mi trope favorito junto con el fake dating. Es típico que en el drama final el que la riega es el hombre y tiene que arreglar las cosas en éste caso es ella, me dolió como el sufrió que hasta derramé unas lagrimillas y si me hubiera gustado que ella sufriera más por él. Han anunciado a la novia de Luca en matrimonio arreglado como es tradición en su familia y Valentina decide que es tiempo de cambiar de aires y renuncia por lo que Luca hace hasta lo imposible para que ella se quede pero no lo está logrando hasta que Valentina necesita su ayuda y él le propone un trato casarse.

Did I enjoy this book? Overall yes, because it was comparatively a much more relaxed read than Book 1. There was no OW-from-hell drama to contend with. Most of the mild angst between the H/h originated through the self-generated doubts of the h. There was one biggish issue in the final lapse of the book, but I did not mind it because it at least provided a plausible denouement after all the tortuous route taken by the leads and some nice reveals.Xaviersierra: A serve as always. I know Cat hasn’t confirmed them as a couple, but their scenes are so explosive together. They will be a perfect end to this perfect series. NO ME HAGAN HABLAR DE LOS DESARROLLOS DE PERSONAJES. Esta chabona piensa que porque me pongas dos oraciones diciendo “yo los quiero como mi propia familia” automáticamente se lava las manos de tener que ESCRIBIR. Hay una escena donde ella esta hablando con el hermano de él y este le dice algo como “sos mi hermanita mas chica y te re amo” ESKIUSMI??? QUIEN SOS?? TE VI DOS VECES EN TODO EL LIBRO

I don’t care what anyone says about this book, whether they liked it or not… THIS IS IT FOR ME!!! Another new favourite romance read of mine and I couldn’t be happier!!! Before I started this book, I already knew that I would love it but boy did it EXCEED my expectations!!!! I'm having a hard time trying to talk about this book and rating it—so I might change the rate at any time, over and over again. And that’s because meanwhile I can admit I had fun reading it, I can't say the story is objectively great or that it's super well written (so I fr don’t know if this rate is the ideal or whatever). This book lived up to the hype for me. Just a couple of idiots in love who deny their attraction to each other and think a three-year marriage of convenience won’t deepen it, and I LOVE IT. To my mind there are two ways to view this book. Either as drama only uber rich and beautiful people can invent between themselves just because they have the time, the means, and because they want to, or more candidly, as the tribulations of two in denial lovers as they navigate through the ups and downs of a relationship towards forging an unbreakable bond. Since this is fiction, I choose to remain candid (as far as personally bearable 😅). and usually a possessive, active hero who would do anything to get the woman he wants is hot as hell. but maybe just don’t use the ill grandmother as a way to make your move.For example, when Luca and Valentina negotiated privately the terms of their marriage, it was clear that Luca wanted a real marriage, nevermind that the marriage was a solution to a lot of practical issues. Valentina was fully agreeable to all this. However, in the many chapters following this, Valentina kept keeping her distance with her husband and suddenly clinging to a 'hate' for all Luca ever did and said to her. And she kept being surprised that Luca wanted her for more than business reasons. And she dragged this for a very long time before she actually started to fulfill her part of the bargain. llega un punto que es asquerosamente cheesy, hace dos días se casaron (por conveniencia) y ya le estas diciendo “my love” chupame la poronga In the first third of the book that ran paralell with the story in Book 1, I sensed some timeline issues. E.g Raven coming blithely to deliver shoes to Valentina for her date - since this happens on the day the media storm in Book 1 happens and while Hannah's poisonous scheme was at its climax, I really doubt Raven was in mind at that moment to be blithe about anything. Lexington: I claimed Lexington after The Wrong Bride and I am still riding that train hard. We still don’t know the name of his girl, but just know I am their number one fan. (Also Cat if you’re looking for a name for his LI, Gretchen is a perfectly nice name *cough cough*)

More than a few times, I felt like Ariana Grande in that meme where she's scared of all the Victoria's Secret models on the runway because they're giants, because she's literally imp sized? These were the best 2 hours I ever spend reading a book and I wouldn’t even hesitate for a millisecond to reread this book!! It had me giggling, screaming, crying, grinning and so so much more while reading it! I get the feeling that a 3rd person narrative would have carried the story better and helped erase some of the gaucheness in the assembly of the puzzle pieces. You were never a pawn.’ He says, his voice soft. ‘You were always my queen. Everyone knew it but you.’””

Aresraven: it was so good to see my babies again. Getting to see their wedding again was magical, and I loved all the comments Luca and Val made about them being oblivious idiots. hello pot meet kettle. At this point, by the very beginning of the story, I thought to myself that things couldn't get worse but oh boy, was I wrong. The following lines of this review may contain spoilers of the book story, so be aware of it. This was cute and also very dramatic the characters were at a 10 they needed to be at a 5 lol. It was easy to read, smutty and I like the characters and family. I think I like workplace romance, it may be slightly unethical sometimes but it hardly ever disappoints. This book was so angsty and not always in a good way. There were so many things tearing Luca and Valentina apart and some of the stuff felt repetitive and it was tiring. Grandma Windsor in this series has way too much time on her hand she’s a little annoying with her matchmaking and arranged marriages. There’s a lot of smut in this and it was okay but I’m so tired of seeing “good girl” in smut let’s change it up. This book is probably closer to 3.5 ⭐️ but I’ll give it a 4 because of the smut scene that was in public in front of Luca’s ex🤭. La historia de este libro va así, Valentina ha sido la asistente de Luca por nueve años, los dos aparentemente no se soportan, pero ella ha sido fundamental en el éxito de él.

when Valentina’s grandmother goes missing, Luca is already using his resources to find her but Val doesn’t know this. so she goes to him to make a deal and says she’ll stay on as his assistant (since she had handed in her resignation which Luca was viciously resistant to) if he finds her grandmother. instead, he says he’ll find her if Valentina marries him. Valentina my favorite ice queen. God I love this woman. She was the perfect equal to Luca in every way. From the beginning when they “hated” each other and she purposefully tried to annoy him to the end when we finally got to see her let her guard down she was just the strongest character. I loved that we never saw her bow to Luca’s dominance. Instead she matched him. We got to see her battle her own demons and open her heart up and it was such a beautiful journey to watch. I also loved the glimpses of friendship we got to see with her and Raven and Sierra. i cannot wait to see the little girl gang the Windsor girls create!There is no better feeling in the world than when one of your anticipated releases not only meets your expectations but exceeds them. That’s exactly what happened with me and The Temporary Wife. All my friends can attest to how excited about this book I was. I’m pretty sure they were begging me to shut up about it, but I fear my obsession is now only going to get worse.
