I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 4.5 Stars 
 Robin Covington is a new-to-me author, and I was surprised how much emotion could be packed in so few pages. His Convenient Husband ran the full gamut of emotions for me, strumming my heartstrings from the beginning to the end. 
 Isaiah is a gay, widowed father, and an NFL player, who has to deal with the stressors of being in the limelight. He's introverted, reserved, and doesn't wish to be noticed- he'd rather stay in the shadows of fame, live his life and raise his son, and play football the game, not the media circus... but all of that changes when he meets his son's idol. 
 Victor is a ballet dancer, with all the trappings that comes with it. He's Isaiah's total opposite, wishing to be the center of attention. Victor has a voice which cannot be denied, advocating for LGBTQ rights, especially in his home country. 
 Their attraction was incendiary from the start, but after an initial hook-up, the novel shifts into slow-burn territory. ANGST, and more angst- Victor seeks asylum on US soil but is denied, so starts the marriage of convenience trope, but it has much more depth and strife than others of its ilk. 
 Isaiah refuses to bring emotion into their relationship, forever mourning his late husband, terrified of loving and yet again losing them. Victor feels resentment as he competes with a ghost. While the couple is the perfect balance, Isaiah has a propensity to behave like a douche to push Victor away, and understanding and compassion only goes so far when you wish to keep your self-respect intact. 
 I highly recommend this title, especially to those who are fans of the author and MM romance. 
 His Convenient Husband was a well-written novella, giving a full spectrum of emotions from developed characters, and a complete story from start to finish.
