Good Read.
This book was a cute love story. Despite their mother's hate for each other, and her hatred for her new husband, they slowly fall for one another. For being a free book, this was a good choice.

I Didn't Hate It But I Didn't Like It Either!
This book had so many gaps, fillers and unfinished story lines that it was very hard to read and I had difficulty finishing it There was unnecessary racial humor, Ivy's mother Cherry, lived in America for atleast 20 years and she still speaks with broken English, (which seemed like errors instead of broken English) and for Ivy to hate the woman that stole her father and that woman's son (Jaxon) she immediately holds a conversation with him, drinks like a fish and ends up marring him. I have read other books by this Author, Momentary Marriage, Always, Challenge Accepted, His Sister's Wedding a

Too many mistakes in the beginning
The grandfather was referred to by two different names. The ex-fiancee was referred to by two different names. I am sure there was a few more. It was difficult to read in the beginning. I would have given it more stars if these errors were not there as I really, really liked the concept. Jax and Ivy worked well together.

Good No Thinking Read
This book has a few events that are a little unbelievable given how smart the favored One and their loved one is supposed to be. If you can enjoy reading a book and not looking below the surface of events then you will enjoy this book, but if you have a mind that is always seeking the hows and whys you may be disappointed. This book was a good one time read but will not remain on my Kindle.
