Second Chance Rival by M. Robinson

Second Chance Rival (Second Chance, #5)I was pleasantly surprised by this book because it features a second chance love story between two characters who were always meant to be together—they just had a lot of issues and interferences along the way. Second Chance Rival by M. Robinson was my first introduction to this series and it won't be my last because I am now very curious about the other books. However, this can be read as a standalone, so I was really happy about that. The story begins with an arranged marriage between Tristian Hawkins and Belle Montgomery. Tristian broke Belle's heart when they were younger and what made this truly ironic was that the two families have had a long-lasting rivalry. In addition, Tristian and Belle's grandfathers also drove a wedge between them and kept them from each other for two decades. And now, Belle and Tristian are forced to marry and produce a baby if they want to be the heirs of their own respective companies.
"I wanted to capture this moment and hold onto it for as long as I could. I wanted to remember her just like this. For me. Mine."
As the story flips back and forth between the past and present, Belle and Tristian are forced to contend with their relationship and the reasons behind his "betrayal." I enjoyed uncovering what Tristian kept from Belle and why their relationship fell apart when they were teenagers. I was surprised by the steamy love scenes and dirty talk from the hero. These two burned up the pages with their sexual chemistry and I couldn't get enough of it. I also loved how romantic and devoted Tristian was to his "kitten." He never stopped loving her and even kept tabs on Belle as she became a dominating force in her company. Although Belle frustrated me at times because she was constantly doubting Tristian, I could not blame her for thinking that way. He broke her heart and never explained why. Thankfully, their misunderstandings were resolved in the end.
"I don't know how to forgive you, love you. I'm my own worst enemy, and all I want is to know the truth."
In the end, I really enjoyed Tristian and Belle's story because they initially started off as rivals at the beginning of the book but through many flashbacks, we're given a much broader picture of what happened and why their love fell apart when they were younger. Much of the conflict revolves around Belle and Tristian forgiving each other and coming to terms with what happened in the past. I look forward to reading about Paige, Belle's executive assistant, and Tristian's friend Adrian Drake next. It seems like they also have history together and it might be one of those enemies-to-lovers stories. I recommend this book to those who like the arranged marriage and second chance romance tropes with a dirty-talking and possessive hero who never fell out of love with his stubborn and emotionally vulnerable heroine.

Powerful and enigmatic billionaire Braden Black doesn't do relationships. He doesn't fall in love. But ever since meeting Skye Manning, he's breaking every one of his careful rules.

Under by Helen Hardt

Under (Follow Me Book 5)Under by Helen Hardt continues Braden Black's perspective in the Follow Me series following his own book, Darkly. I would not recommend reading the series out of order because you will be missing out on a chunk of the story, character progression, and romance between the two main characters. I have to admit that I had mixed feelings starting this book because of my last experience with Braden and Skye in Follow Me Always. However, I wanted to know what Braden was thinking because I remember being incredibly frustrated with him in Follow Me Under. He kept asking for Skye's trust but refused to talk about his past and even gave her an ultimatum—let it go or lose him forever. I like that we're given more insight as to why Braden hated talking about his past with Addison and wanted to move on. He was in love with Skye but she was too curious for her own good.
"I want Skye's trust. I want Skye's safety. I want Skye's love."
There is no denying the fact that Braden and Skye's relationship has always been explosive and they continue to burn up the pages in this latest installment. Nevertheless, this couple has always been a rollercoaster of emotions for me because of the way they covet and need control. It was like watching two sides fight each other for dominance, which left me frustrated because he expected so much from the woman he loves but was not willing to give parts of himself to her. I thought it was also interesting that even though he wanted to shower her with love and care for her, Braden would often steel himself from doing so because of his own insecurities and wanting to control everything. It did help soften my feelings towards him because I initially thought he was so cruel to Skye in her own book.
"I love pleasing this woman. I love everything about her. Will she ever understand how truly beautiful she is?"
In the end, this book was a fascinating revelation behind the mystery and man that is Braden Black. He is certainly more than meets the eye and I liked seeing that he had his own internal struggles to contend with. I initially doubted his love for Skye but it seems like he loved her more than I thought and thought she was so beautiful despite her thinking otherwise. She constantly tested his control and made him so angry but he still wanted to be with her. I am very happy and appreciative of the fact that Helen Hardt has decided to give us Braden's perspective in his story with Skye because I would have always wondered what he was thinking during their tumultuous relationship. I recommend this book to those who like reading the dark billionaire romance trope with a possessive and controlling hero who struggles to love his sweet and curious heroine.

The Reckless Union by Monica Murphy

The Reckless Union (Arranged Marriage, #3)The Reckless Union is the final book in the Arranged Marriage trilogy by Monica Murphy featuring Perry Constantine and Charlotte Lancaster. What began as a marriage of convenience between two strangers has transformed into one of love and passion between the two. This book immediately picks up after the events of The Ruthless Groom and Charlotte is in danger following her reckless decision to meet up with Seamus McTiernan—the "antagonist" of the story. Truthfully, I wasn't exactly sold on this supposed villain because he reeked of desperation and selfishness. His decision to kidnap Charlotte was hilariously idiotic considering that she was already married to Perry and would never take him back. I was glad this issue was resolved relatively quickly as I was more interested in the developing relationship between Perry and Charlotte.
"No one ever believes in me. Or thinks I'm capable of taking care of myself. Until you."
There is no denying the fact that Perry and Charlotte have grown as characters, especially as a couple, since we first met them in The Reluctant Bride. Charlotte had to experience some internal growth and realization of her love for Perry. Although she briefly became a shell of herself, I loved that Perry was able to help her find herself again. On the other hand, Perry remains true to the character that I have always known him to be ever since we were first introduced to him in Skyscraper Cinderella—extremely loyal, reckless, caring, carefree, and capable of love. The colorful nicknames he had for Seamus were hilarious and creative. I personally thought he experienced the most change after he almost lost Charlotte and realized his love for her. Perry knew that he had to grew up, and he did.
"I would do anything for her. Just to make her feel safe. Just to see her smile."
In the end, I enjoyed this trilogy and would recommend it to fans of the Midnight Dynasty world because it features the reckless and lovable Perry Constantine—a prominent and recurring character that has been featured in several books so far. Charlotte and Perry simply burned up the pages with their chemistry and passion for each other. It was interesting to note that the more Perry became possessive of Charlotte, the more secure and happy she felt in their relationship. Even though it took time for their love to develop, I was still captivated by their relationship because it felt natural for them to be unsure at first. This was, after all, an arranged marriage between two people who have never met each other before. I recommend this series to those who like the arranged marriage trope between a recklessly charming and possessive hero with his sweet and doubtful heroine.
