Between Commitment and Betrayal: An Arranged Marriage Romance (Hardy Billionaires)

Product Information

I should get paid for putting up to reading 400pgs of this and how I’m emotionally scarred from anger. I very clearly missed a series with Declan’s siblings or maybe his brother-in-laws. There was so much going on in that regard that I was just lost. Truly, the men didn’t interest me very much, giving off the same vibe as Declan, but I might look into it if only for his sisters that seem absolutely hilarious. They come to an agreement on the terms, but the tensions that have been building up continue to intensify as more of the will is read and as their connection grows. Especially the parts with Cade and Izzy, this book had me completely engrossed, and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished reading it. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. I would recommend this book and author to anyone who likes reading stories with strong female protagonists and alpha males who are willing to give up everything for their partners. Both the author and the book are excellent. Holding one’s breath in anticipation of the next Hardy Brothers mystery to be solved! Twenty-one times you haven’t listened, haven’t let me open the door for you, haven’t let me take care of you.”

Edit: i should inform yall about a scene that this book had and i can't stop thinking about. The fmc was wearing another player's jersey AND THE MMC WENT LIVID, LIVID WITH JEALOUSLY AND DEMANDED SHE REMOVE IT RIGHT AWAY. This. ThankyouEverly talks about how she can’t have a child if there isn’t love, meanwhile she realizes she’s in love with him and could have a child with him. So, she tells him this and is vulnerable and this man looks her dead in the eyes and says he doesn’t love her and he can’t. Then, he tells her he’s going to get her step sister pregnant to keep up with the will. Publicly, he takes her step sister (who treats Everly like crap) out and causes media speculation. But when Everly tells him she wants a divorce and to quit, he refuses. Tells her that what happens with her step sister has nothing to do with them and they can continue. But suddenly, he writes this long note publicly about how much he loves her and he’s sorry and he was never actually going to do it. He tells her the only reason why he was faking it was because she needed to believe it and that he was working behind the scenes to keep her mom’s yoga studio. He said it was because he was afraid she wouldn’t understand he loved her and he wanted to start over without the will and inheritance. AND SHE FORGIVES HIM?!

It’s my wife in another man’s arms, it’s her skin feeling his touch, it’s her conversation and intelligence being shared. What would you have talked about?”Declan and Everly have tension from the start. You can’t deny their pull and chemistry towards each other. If you love good sexual tension and lots of spice. This is a GREAT book for you🤤 Overall it’s a really good read I enjoyed every bit of Declan and his possessive nature ofcourse I did but I cant lie at some parts even I was like ok dude RELAX 😂💀 but I LOVED THIS BOOK BECAUSE EVERLY SHE WAS STRONG AND AMAZING THE WAY SHE HELD HER GROUND AND AFTER EVERYTHING SHE HAD BEEN THROUGH SHE DESERVES THE WORLD 💕 Declan was a gem he truly loved everly even before Carl had forced their hand in this marriage of convenience the way he’d go the extra mile for everly and payed 100 million to dance with her in the moonlight at a charity gala so no other man would dance with his wife still does something to my heart YES you read that correct 100 mill even i had to do a double take🥹🥹🥹 I’m so frustrated because the marriage of convenience could’ve been good if there was a plot that actually made sense. More I'm beyond infuriated because I understand having to marry because of some deadass man’s will, but having to impregnate your wife to get ahold of a freaking business empire and ALSO pushing her on the matter when she clearly doesn’t want it under those circumstances it is on another level.

Everly is a strong female who doesn’t care about the spotlight and money she prefers to stay out of the light and stands up for her self and doesn’t let anyone walk over her . The way she challenged Declan every chance she got was amusing especially because that man could not keep his jealousy under control and she definitely gave him a run for his money. My life could not be more dissimilar to that of Declan Hardy, an ex-football player who went on to become a billionaire and an All-American darling. In Between Commitment and Betrayal, there is a billionaire, a forced marriage of proximity, a fake marriage of convenience, and a business partner of the protagonist’s father. All of these things are interconnected. It is the only work that Shain Rose has produced and may be read on its own. About Shain Rose Author If the author cut out the OWD AND OMD this would’ve easily been an amazing read, she could’ve created tension and angst without other people in the mix.Declan is 🔥🔥!! He takes no bs from anyone. He makes the rules and others follow. That is until Evie who fights him on so many things. I loved how strong she is, she doesn't let things break her. There’s drama and there’s angst. The difference between the two is the development that leads to either one or the other. I prefer the latter, with it being the result of a natural progression of events. With angst, there’s a build-up, a proper story that gives way to palpable emotion. Drama just exists. There isn’t always a catalyst for it, and if there is, it is almost never significant. It just exists for the sake of it. Unfortunately, in this novel, all we got was very stereotypical drama. I've never read Shain Rose's books before but the trope and the little snippet of the excerpt has me hooked! For fans of Lauren Asher and Elle Kennedy, a fake marriage, forced proximity romance about a young woman who becomes entangled with her father’s business partner to save the empire he’s built.

Everly has two step sisters, one who is literally THE DEVIL, and the other who is the only person actually trying to form a relationship with her. Everly is so dang strong and she had an AWFUL past with a different popular golden boy in her small town & you learn how much she had to go through. I was rooting for her HEA. And as more conditions arise, it’s clear there’s a fine line between commitment and betrayal… and neither of us knows where that line falls. We have Declan and Everly who are forced into a marriage of convenience. Declan is a former NFL superstar but now runs a billionaire empire. Everly comes from humble beginnings and is running from a past that still haunts her.This story is so sexy and spicy, full of drama and emotion, it made me feel so much, sadness, angst, anger, tenderness and pain, and some plot twists blew my mind . So so good. I can’t wait for more of this world. However, there are some sensitive topics, proceed with caution. Highly recommended if you are a fan of: they would hook up and the next minute everly was throwing her boyfriend in declan’s face and telling him to go out with her sister. it got old real fast. declan wanted everly outside of the fake marriage but did nothing when ow would hang all over him and try to get between them like are you sure you’re 34??? And how many times did I need to read about him getting annoyingly possessive of even a man who LOOKED at her? Dammit, it got so annoying so fast,
