Book Review: A Court-Ordered Romance

 


She made a devil's bargain to save her job, but now there's a demon sharing her bed...


Vale, Hollywood’s newest demon heartthrob, promised never to return home to Winter Bliss. Until his movie’s press tour forces him back. One drunken night with friends leads to the destruction of a historic statue, landing him a 90-day probation. Stuck at home with his premiere looming, Vale’s career is in jeopardy. His only hope? Convincing a therapist to play the role of a lifetime–his devoted wife. But only in front of the cameras.

Coco may be human, but she’s brilliant when it comes to treating magical disorders. Connecting with demons though…not so much. Despite how charming–and annoying–Vale is, she needs his demon expertise to save her clinic. His 'fake marriage' proposal is one she can't refuse.

As they navigate the holiday season, a spark of attraction ignites, threatening to turn their fake relationship into something dangerously real. In a town built on bargains and secrets, happily ever after comes at a price.

Is their court-appointed romance strong enough to survive the real world, or is it 'til probation do they part?

A Court-Ordered Romance is a spicy, contemporary holiday romance featuring a troubled hero and a nerdy heroine who have their fake marriage put to the test.

Merry Mischief is a set of three fantastical holiday rom-coms that can be read in any order or as standalones within the larger Winter Bliss Romance shared-world series.


My Review

I love a good fake marriage romance. Vale and Coco are good together. Opposites attract. Vale is more of a let loose type of demon and Coco is more serious. So, it was entertaining to see her open up and let her hair down so to speak. When she did is when the sparks started flying and the heat level got turned up. 

The way that Vale would push Coco's buttons to get a reaction out of her was entertaining. Also, Vale calling Coco's dog, Mariah a rat is funny. As much as Vale may not have wanted to admit it, Mariah did grow on him. This doctor and the actor realize that fake marriage can turn into the real deal that ends with a HEA.
