Between Commitment and Betrayal: An Arranged Marriage Romance (Hardy Billionaires)

Product Information

And Evie "dating" another man while married to Declan, even though she says several times how she feels nothing for this other man, made me not care very much for her character. She's afraid of trusting and getting hurt, well then date no one while being in a fake marriage. They both fight it for their own reasons though. And let me tell ya I’ve never been so mad/heartbroken before about a third act… that’s all I’m gonna say about that. 😅 One thing that I will say without any spoilers is that this marriage of convenience does not go down like most other books with that trope. This one threw me for a LOOP.🤯 In Between Commitment and Betrayal, there is a billionaire, a forced marriage of proximity, a fake marriage of convenience, and a business partner of the protagonist’s father. All of these things are interconnected. It is the only work that Shain Rose has produced and may be read on its own. About Shain Rose Author There are so many amazing things about this book I barely know where to start. Between Commitment and Betrayal pulls you in in so many different ways.

they would hook up and the next minute everly was throwing her boyfriend in declan’s face and telling him to go out with her sister. it got old real fast. declan wanted everly outside of the fake marriage but did nothing when ow would hang all over him and try to get between them like are you sure you’re 34??? I don't usually go for the super angsty....and I'm not even sure if this qualifies, but it feels like it might. The push and pull between Declan and Everly was both hot and incredibly frustrating. I enjoyed this story overall, but I could not wait for the happy ending. My favourite part was the way Declan just couldn’t get over everly wearing wes’s jersey and demanded she take it off throughout the book. Even till the end he was just happy to see her wear the jersey with his name on it was swoon worthy.🥹🥵

While he will inherit the health and hospitality dynasty, I will be able to keep the one person I have ever truly loved. Particularly when I return his kisses with one of my own, despite the fact that we are both aware that it is a phoney kiss. Some parts were fun and cute. But I barely saw any of that when the whole plot of the book was surrounded by OWD and OMD. I’m being honest when I say I don’t think I’ve ever been so angry at a book before (or if I was I can’t remember). I just cannot for the life of me understand why this man could not COMMUNICATE!! She’s about to tell you she loves you or that she could and she wants to have your child. And instead of telling her ‘i really love you regardless of the will’ you make her think you’re going to impregnate her stepsister and she can’t divorce you. I’m honestly flabbergasted.

I want to start off by saying I really enjoy Everly as a character. She’s super strong and resilient. She’s smart and super talented. All in all, I think she was amazing character and the author wrote her very well. My issue lies with Declan. i hate to say this bc i loved corrupted chaos by this author but this book was so bad 😭 i was expecting so much more. The only thing that links us together is the fact that both of our names are contained in the will that was written by my father.Everly talks about how she can’t have a child if there isn’t love, meanwhile she realizes she’s in love with him and could have a child with him. So, she tells him this and is vulnerable and this man looks her dead in the eyes and says he doesn’t love her and he can’t. Then, he tells her he’s going to get her step sister pregnant to keep up with the will. Publicly, he takes her step sister (who treats Everly like crap) out and causes media speculation. But when Everly tells him she wants a divorce and to quit, he refuses. Tells her that what happens with her step sister has nothing to do with them and they can continue. But suddenly, he writes this long note publicly about how much he loves her and he’s sorry and he was never actually going to do it. He tells her the only reason why he was faking it was because she needed to believe it and that he was working behind the scenes to keep her mom’s yoga studio. He said it was because he was afraid she wouldn’t understand he loved her and he wanted to start over without the will and inheritance. AND SHE FORGIVES HIM?! little girl squealing as her uncle danced her around in circles and threw her in the air for everyone to see. I swear my freaking ovaries almost burst while watching him.” - it’s not just your ovaries count me in😭🥰 anyway he’s seen all over with her sister and then he finally tells everly that it was all a setup to get her moms studio, he was never going to be with anastasia, etc. this girl folds so fast lmao like she was all hell bent on divorce, she’s quitting, moving on but he tells her that and it’s all forgotten. embarrassing

NOW where shall I start this is a marriage of convenience with a extremely possessive and jealous MMC so if that’s what your into then you’ll love this because AS YOU ALL KNOW THATS MY CRAP🥹 both main characters were so awful and neither of them were developing at all. at first i was like “ooh this is messy” in a good way bc i was in the mood for drama, but after reading the same conflicts over and over it became mind numbing.The first book in the Hardy Billionaire Brothers series did not disappoint. Age gap + arranged marriage + dirty talk/steam = love. The book follows Everly as she moves from her hometown to grow her relationship with her estranged father. Working at his gym, she meets Declan, an ex-NFL star turned gym franchise owner/billionaire and her boss. While there’s definitely attraction, there’s also a bit of a forbidden romance/enemies vibe. After some heart wrenching events though, the two are forced to marry or lose the empire Declan and Everly’s father have built. I love a possessive man in a book, but not to the point where all I’m thinking about is “can this man just shut up for one second and let her do her job of training a man” or whatever the hell her job was. I very clearly missed a series with Declan’s siblings or maybe his brother-in-laws. There was so much going on in that regard that I was just lost. Truly, the men didn’t interest me very much, giving off the same vibe as Declan, but I might look into it if only for his sisters that seem absolutely hilarious. So much of this story didn't make sense. So many characters behaved in ways that made them impossible to like and difficult to understand why they would do certain things.
