It’s how he never brings her flowers, never stands up for her against his awful mother, and never likes hanging out with her friends. She doesn’t know how or when it happened, but at some point between now and the proposal, she’s been slowly falling out of love with him. Her fiancé, 30-year-old Nicholas Rose, is every girl’s dream: handsome, rich, and thoughtful. That’s because the hero and heroine stay engaged the whole time, which I definitely don’t think I’ve ever seen before.Ģ8-year-old Naomi Westfield is deliriously in love… on paper. Basically, it has all the positives of that trope (rediscovering a person you were once in love with) without the chief negative (bucketloads of angst during the separation period). I have a conflicted relationship with second chance romances, but the allure of this particular book is that it’s only sort of second-chance.

This couple was insane, but I adored them. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they’re finally being themselves-and having fun with the last person they expect: each other. When Naomi discovers that Nicholas, too, has been feigning contentment, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of pranks, sabotage, and all-out emotional warfare.īut with the countdown looming to the wedding that may or may not come to pass, Naomi finds her resolve slipping.

Naomi wants out, but there’s a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the non-refundable wedding bill. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him. They’re preparing for their lavish wedding that’s three months away. Naomi Westfield has the perfect fiancé: Nicholas Rose holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family any bride would love to be a part of.
