This is the story of Razelle and Luke. Razelle wants to desperately get away from her selfish and abusive mother and gain her freedom. So she sneaks out at night to help homeless teens living nearby. That is where she meets Luke. Luke needs to find a wife in five weeks to gain his inheritance, so he offers her marriage in name only and she accepts. Both Luke and Razelle Have experienced their own pain and hardship and both need to heal. Maybe, they can be each other’s balm. This was a very sweet story which had my interest from the very beginning. With some plot twists and suspense along the way, it was a very entertaining and enjoyable book. This is a great series and I’m looking forward to reading the next book!

Raz’s mother was truly awful working her long hours in her restaurant, locking her up, hitting her, and putting her down all the time. Luke has to marry to obtain his grandfather’s inheritance so he decides that the sweet girl, who is so selfless helping the homeless teens while dealing with her mother would be the perfect one to offer a marriage in name only to. She helps him out and he helps her by getting her out of her situation and financially by paying her to marry him. Raz and Luke have both suffered and think they aren’t worthy of love. Like Rapunzel she has long hair, although no one uses it to climb a tower or for magical powers, but she is often locked away by a crazy controlling mother. I loved reading about their honeymoon in Tahiti. The room with the glass bottom where you can see the fish swimming by sounds amazing. Her grandmother on the island was so sweet and quite the romantic. Secrets are revealed and there were some suspenseful moments in the book dealing with bad guys in many forms.

I loved this story! It has a great storyline, and I couldn’t put it down once I started it. I cannot wait to read more from this author. She is incredible! I love that the book kept me on my toes and loved every minute of it.
I really liked this story. There was a lot packed into it. I was completely blindsided at times! I did feel like the two most crucial scenes of the book were a bit rushed, but, it was still good. I can’t wait for more of this series!
