4 stars! 
 Thanks to a certain stipulation in Noah Tate's father's will, he and Olivia Cane, the daughter of his father's business partner and good friend, will have to get hitched to gain access to their shares and take over their family's company, Tate & Cane Enterprises. 
 Noah's down for it. Growing up, he's always had a crush on Olivia; which turned into lust when they're older. The thing is, Olivia pretty much hates his guts. How can he convince her to marry him? Oh, there's another stipulation in the will? They have to put a bun in her oven in 90 days following the wedding? Good luck with that. 
 I freaking love marriage of convenience tropes! I actually started reading this serial the moment the first volume came out, but decided to wait until the last volume was out to finish it. Best decision ever! I would have died (I wouldn't have, but you get my point haha) if I ended up reading this and seeing the ending. Finished reading all three books in one sitting. 
 Obviously, the 'marrying someone for an inheritance/for work' isn't the most unique plot line. I've actually read a different serial with an almost identical plot. What makes this different for me is the character dynamic. In this dual POV series, we can obviously see that the two are physically attracted to each other. Noah also admires Olivia's resilience. Olivia, however, is not a fan of Noah's manwhore reputations, and it makes her weary of him and his intentions. 
 Olivia doesn't want to give up on the company but doesn't want to give in just like that, so before she agrees to the whole arranged marriage business, she needs to make sure that she and Noah will work together. Trial dating or nothing. 
 Soon, dating will not be the only thing they're going to try. Noah's a perpetually horny man, and he's obviously attracted to Olivia. He knows she's affected; he's just waiting for the right time to strike. 
 Olivia and Noah's work rapport actually reminds me of my mom and dad's. They met at their work place, and one of the pair is quite diligent and straight-laced while the other is more carefree but as efficient as the other. They're still happily married after 26 years of marriage, so it's pretty safe to say Olivia and Noah have a long time ahead of them. 
 The ending's a cliffhanger, and although it wasn't that surprising, I really want to know what Olivia was thinking when she did what she did. And poor Noah!
