ARC Review: MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE by Penny Reid

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.
Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.
Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?

REVIEW

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 "I'm in love with Dan the security man" stars!!

There were so many things to love about this story. I’ve seen bits and pieces of this romance throughout this series that teased the heck out of me and I was happy to have some of my questions answered and to witness this love story unfold.

Dan was my absolute favorite. He was just so freaking real. He was brutally honest, humble, kind-hearted, open-minded, generous, and incredibly alpha without being overwhelming. Even when he struggled to be patient and battled his irritability, he was endearing. He won my heart easily, right from the start. But then, I always liked Dan, although he spent much too long in my peripherals. LOVED HIM!! 💜💜💜

Kat was a little harder to warm up to. I didn’t dislike the woman (okay, I kinda did), but she didn’t bring out the best in me. By the end, she grew on me. She had a lot of issues and considering her upbringing, I respected her for facing each challenge she faced head on. She was ultimately a sweet person with a few quirks, but I found her to be perfect for Dan. Due to a misunderstanding, these two almost lost their chance at forever. Unfortunately, Kat has a problem with communicating like a grown up lol. I’m just glad these two finally opened up to each other and gave this author the opportunity to create their beautiful love story.

This book was full of romance, laughs, family, hope, friendship, and so much love. There were certainly some hiccups along the way, but both Dan and Kat dealt with each hurdle with humor, calm heads, and agility. And even if that isn’t enough to make you run out or one-click to get this book, the epilogue alone was truly amazing and not to be missed!!
