Loved this book. It is very easy and quick to read. In the beginning Caspian (Cass) thinks he is the unlovable guy from all his past trauma, who is also a multibillionaire running his uncles company, Archer Industries. His Uncle Preston tells him he to marry some one or he does not get to inherit the company. Paisley is our girl next door who is trying to juggle everything on own, including trying to pay for her moms medical care after her accident. She is also a girl from Cass’ former life. Paisley runs into Cass at the hospital and they form a plan to marry for a year and a day, so he can inherit his company and she can have her moms medical bills cared for. Will they be able to make it a year or did they get in over their heads?

A novel with a little feel of a modern Cinderella. She’s broke and the offer comes for a good life. Should she or shouldn’t she? The character’s are pretty well-developed and the plot moves along well. There are obviously challenges that she gains the strength to get through. A bit of spice and a bit of romance make somehsood romance for those that like this type of romance

This book has all the feels. It has the steam, business to lovers, childhood friends reunited, nosey family, and most of all it has character development. This book starts out steamy and it continues throughout the book. If you aren’t one for really hot scenes then this book is not for you. If you love some steam in your books, then welcome friend!!! This book is for you. The main characters were childhood friends and lost touch until literally running into each other at the hospital. They each have their reasons for joining into a contractual marriage but it isn’t long before they realize they are meant for each other. However, there are some huge obstacles for them to overcome in order to have a happily ever after. “Can they do it?,” is the question that makes you keep turning the pages and not stop reading until you have finished the book. There is just the right amount of turmoil with character growth, that you will want to keep reading even when the book ends. I can’t wait for the second book in this series.

Wow just wow! This was such a good book, it was very well written, how could I not love it!? The writing knew ow to draw you in and make you really fall for these characters, the author did a wonderful job at making this story and the characters come to life!
I really enjoyed going to the deep end reading about Paisley and Archer. Both characters needed something that the other could give. Paisley-loved her right off the bat, especially how she cared so much for her mom, she was a good hearted characters and I instantly felt for her. Archer sees a way to gain what he wants in terms of money, he will help out Paisley in terms of an agreement for marriage and not to fall one another. I mean not like they have history, they knew each other way back when, but memories you made as children don’t follow you into the future years later does it? This should be easy for these two souls who are nothing alike right?
At first glance I thought Archer came off as a high almighty jerk. I was wrong though. Beneath his surface was a sweet man, one that had glued his puzzles back together so much, he ran out of glue and the pieces looked kind of sloppy at this point. He had a lot of character development, and I began very quickly from first glance to understand him, as well as admire him in different ways. Paisley changed as well, she trusted Archer more and opened up more. Their development not only as characters, but really as a potential couple, despite what they agreed on was really realistic to me. Well done on this writing!
Amazing read, and for me the developments all over this book that happened with the plot, the characters, as even the side characters, greatly contributed to this wonderful book. I was s happy and nose deep in reading, loved the hot steam coming off this book! The story was very real as I have said, and the book played out perfectly well. Defiantly a must read, and yes I do highly recommend you read it!

I don’t usually read holiday books or novellas because I get too invested for something so short but I’m so glad I picked this one up. It’s so sweet and light-hearted. This book is a novella so it was a quick read but totally worth it!
Thea doesn’t seem to have the best luck when it comes to guys. Dealing with a recent break up, she doesn’t expect to experience a connection with anyone let alone Benjamin, as he walks into her bakery. Who knew looking for cupcakes could turn into something so sweet!
I really enjoyed these characters. Thea was so sweet! Such a good read!

I think I may have said this before but I am a sucker for christmas stories, they’re warm and sweet and make you squeal with their unending cuteness. This book did not disappoint, had all the sweetness of a candy cane and the wonderful warmth of sitting around an open fire on Christmas eve, all those fairy lights ‘a sparkling. So yeah I kinda loved it, and literally everything about it.
Thea owns a bakery and had given up on ever finding romance, that is until she stumbles over something sweet by the red velvet cupcakes. Benjamin is every woman’s dream, but upon meeting Thea, he doesn’t want any woman, he wants the baker. Give it a go its a sweet, Christmassy read that will leave you with a smile on your face 🙂

Caspian is such a broken man inside when he appears to the outside world to have it all. Now his Uncle is dying and has forced him to marry to keep his fortune. When he runs into an old childhood friend that is in a desperate situation with her ill mother, he thinks they can solve each other’s problems. It doesn’t take long for Caspian and Paisley to realize that there is no way either of them can keep it strictly a professional arrangement. Yes, there is undeniable hot sizzling chemistry between the two of them but there is so much more than that. Finding out about Caspian’s childhood broke my heart and made his current life up to reconnecting with Paisley make so much sense. Paisley makes him want to be her Prince, her Knight in Shining Armor, even though he uses less than completely honest measures to try to show her how much she means to him. It all blows up in his face and he quickly does everything he can to make it up to her and beg her forgiveness. Can love really conquer all? The ending was epic and absolutely took my breath away! I cannot wait to read the rest of the Titans series.

Conveniently Yours is the first book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. I have read a few of this author’s books before and loved every one, so I didn’t even have to think about purchasing this book to read, and happily one-clicked a copy and dove in as soon as it hit my Kindle.
I have to be honest, the start of this book had me a little worried as I was pretty sure I was going to hate Caspian, our male MC… but I kept reading and surprisingly he, and the author, won me over in only a few short chapters. By that time I was well and truly hooked- completely invested in the characters and the outcome of their story.
Caspian Archer is a titan of the corporate world. His past still haunts him- the driving force behind his rise to success. He leads an enviable lifestyle, with anything he wants within his reach. So, when his uncle demands that Caspian marries quickly, or face losing everything he has worked so hard for, Caspian has no choice but to come up with a cunning plan. Bumping into his long-lost childhood friend in his hour of need seems quite fatuitous, for them both.
Paisley Fischer is down on her luck- all her hopes and dreams are crumbling before her, and on top of it all she faces losing her beloved mother if she can’t find the funds to provide the medical care she desperately needs. But a blast from the past might just hold the key to not only keeping her head above water, but more importantly being able to properly care for her mother. Will she agree to his unconventional proposal? Has she got what it takes to carry out the plan? This story is definitely worth the read to find out!
This story is a superb fake marriage contemporary romance with plenty of chemistry, sparks, and sizzle. There are angsty and emotional moments, and times where these two characters either made me want to shake some sense into them or wrap my arms around them in a huge hug for what they had been, or were going through….
Colour me hooked on this series now and I can not wait to get my hands on Book #2, it can’t come quick enough!
Happy reading!
Thank you, Anise Storm!

A delightful, easy read! I read this sweet novella easily in one sitting. The author creates a beautiful whirlwind romance with lovely characters. The attraction between Ben and Thea is palpable from their first meeting and the beginning of their journey is something you’d expect in a movie! As with many novellas, I wished for a little more deep character development, but you still get a really good feel for the characters and their lives. This is a sweet, no pun intended, romance with the slightest hint of drama, but mostly a sweet, easy read. It was well-written and easy to follow and I’d be interested in other stories by this author!

This was a really good book! This is a fake fiance/fake marriage kind of story, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It took me several chapters to really start getting into it, and I feel like the author skipped around a lot of events that she could have went into more detail about, like the wedding and just their life in general. Weeks and months would go by and everything was just kind of skipped or glossed over. I really enjoyed reading this story, it was enthralling and captured my attention and I loved the characters, but I would have enjoyed having a bit better of a timeline while I was reading this. I did enjoy this boom however and I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

Caspian Archer came from nothing until his uncle took him in, raised him as his own, and taught him everything he knew about running a highly successful company. When his uncle realizes that Caspian has become a workaholic, he tries to resolve it in the only way he can think of how to. He gives him an ultimatum. Get married and keep the company he has worked hard for over the years, or stay single and lose it all. For Caspian, that is easier said than done. He has surrounded himself with women that are beautiful and enjoyable, but not marriage material. Then he bumps into Paisley, a girl from his past that he knew before his uncle took him in. She’s unassuming, destitute, and the perfect girl for his dilemma. That is, until they actually fall in love with each other! Caspian has to open himself up to love or lose her and his chance at true happiness forever.
For the most part, I enjoyed this read. While I could not identify with Caspian or his world, I did connect with Paisley. I was drawn into their love story rather quickly. I appreciated that when Paisley was destitute, she never lost her pride and she knew her self worth. I would have liked to have seen more interactions with the other Titans of Manhattan, as this is the first book in the series. The next Titan was introduced in a very cursory manner in the middle of the book and wasn’t really mentioned again until the very end.
All in all, it was a quick read that was fun. However, it was a little too detailed for me in some parts. LOL I would definitely categorize this as a steamy, adult read.

As soon as the end of October/ beginning of November comes around I am in Christmas mode. My favorite part about the holiday approaching is reading a good, wholesome holiday romance. Think made for TV movie, in book form. I loved this novella from start to finish. It truly had everything I’ve come
to love in a holiday romance, cute, relatable characters, a believable storyline and a strong writing style. It isn’t often I find myself liking both main characters, I often find female main characters as needy or over the top, this wasn’t the case in this storyline. This is a new author to me so as always I didn’t quite know what to expect. She exceeded my expectations and I look forward to looking into her writing more in the future.

This book is one of those you can’t put down because it’s a great romance and just makes you feel like anything is possible at Christmas time. Thea Sheldon meets Benjamin Sweet when he knocks on her bakery door as she is closing up shop for Thanksgiving weekend. There’s instant chemistry between them but Thea is apprehensive. Although Ben is very forward in asking Thea out, Thea finds that she is attracted to him.
The author did a wonderful job of describing the bakery and other locations, the characters are wonderful and at times I’d even say amazing. It’s a feel good Christmas romance. This novella is the perfect book to bring happiness to your holiday season.

This story captivated me from page one. Caspian was raised around wealth for most of his life by his uncle and has worked hard to one day take over his uncle’s company. His uncle finds out he is dying and, in his will, tells Caspian that he must wed…for one year plus a day or the company turns over to his cousins. Paisley’s mom was in a car accident and has been in a coma for months, her insurance is running out and needs to be moved to another facility. Paisley doesn’t know what she is going to do to pay for the care her mother still needs.
Caspian and Paisley knew each other a lifetime ago, growing up as neighbors. They happen to run into each other at the hospital after visiting their prospective family members. Caspian recognizes her eyes…but from where? He has to ask her name to place her in his mind. Finding out about her mother, Caspian offers marriage of convenience and they both will come out on top.
The slow burning sexual tension between them was making the pages smolder. Could I marry for convenience? Knowing my mother would be taken care of in a way that I couldn’t, probably. Was Caspian’s uncle right? Can love grow from nothing? I loved this story and can’t wait for more.

Conveniently Yours is for the women who love an Alpha male romance! I’m not discounting the strength of our female main character, however alpha male novels have a following and this book right here should be at the top of their I WANT TO READ LIST! For me personally it’s a guilty pleasure!
It starts dominating oozing strength, but it sweetly comes full circle for Caspian, a man who’s early childhood was a nightmare. He did everything in his power to make sure never to return to that life again. Becoming one of the big serious titans of NYC. That is until his uncle kicks him down a few notches when he threatens to take it all away unless his nephew marries.
In slams Paisley right back into Caspian’s life, a man she hasn’t seen since he was her child & neighborhood hero. Paisley, down on her luck due to her mother being in a serious accident, doesn’t know how she’s going to survive.
You can use your imagination as to where it goes from there or YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND READ IT!!!! lol If you enjoy these types of romances like I do you’ll love it. It’s the best dose of Sweet & Spicy!!

One word: Steamy! From the moment Ben walked into Thea’s bakery, there was an undeniable connection between the two. Neither of them were looking for love, but a few fun nights quickly sparked those feelings they had to explore. This is a very quick and smooth read. The storyline flows and as you turn the pages, before you know it, you’re at the end and wanting more. Who doesn’t love a lighthearted and fun Christmas romance?! If you blush easily, get ready for some major blushing because the spark between Ben and Thea lights a major fire of passion and the author does not hold back!

LOVE this book! Not only goes the author grab your attention with some wonderful detail. Caspian is a man with rough edges. The story goes into how he needs to settle down which he makes very clear he does not want to do but will do it for the good of the company. Paisley the woman he is forced to marry is very family-oriented and nothing like Caspian. This book overall start to finish is a must for your collection.

I knew I would be in for a good read from the first page lol. This book started off with a banger that had my mouth open from the first few paragraphs. Caspian and Paisley have a run in and reunite after almost 20 years apart. The catch is, they reunite to have a fake marriage that lasts a year and a day. This book is a good read. I couldn’t read the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next between the two.

I’m a total sucker for a marriage that benefits two main characters kind of book. So I knew going in I’d enjoy it, I absolutely loved it. Caspian and Paisley instantly had me feeling the connection they were about to have for the story. Caspian May just be my favorite male main character this year, he knows what he wants and goes right for it no matter what might stand in his way. Paisley is going through quite a lot and it’s easy to feel for her. Each one brought me so completely into their world that I easily got lost in the pages and hated when it was over. I’ll definitely be adding this one to my reading again list. Five big stars!

This is a great romantic read. This story is a little steamy and a lot sexy and heart breaking all at the same time. It is sizzling and thrilling and enticing. The story is told from several POV’s which I love, love, love because you get a much deeper concept for who the characters are.
He is spoiled and wants to keep his lifestyle, but an unexpected twist threatens to take it all away. That is unless he can find someone as desperate as him.
She had hit rock bottom with nowhere to go but one conversation may just be the answer to her prayers.

This is book 1 of the Titans of Manhattan series. It’s a story about a marriage of convenience. Caspian has to get and stay married for one year in order to inherit his family’s company that he has worked hard at for years. Paisley is a down on her luck artist whose mother was in a horrific car accident and left in a coma. Caspian and Paisley knew each other as kids and when they run into one another to catch up Caspian proposes the idea of a marriage of convenience that will help him to get his company and her to get her mom’s medical bills covered as well as a million dollars after it’s over. Paisley did the only thing she could do to help her mom… she accepted. Can they make it through the year, will they develop feelings for one another, or will everything go as planned? I found it slightly repetitive and a little slow at times but it has a beautiful story and would definitely recommend it. I will definitely be reading the next book of this series when it comes out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A lightheaded and sweet festive romantic novella which was a quick, enjoyable and engaging read. Thea Sheldon is the owner of ‘Sweet Confections’, sadly she has not had the best of luck with men over the years. Mainly because she’s looking for someone who is like they are portrayed in the movies. Then handsome, smooth talking Benjamin Sweet enters her bakery looking for a Thanksgiving present, and he might just be who Thea has been waiting for. Although Thea and Ben were not looking for love, love seems to have found them but can they turn a casual encounter and instant attraction into something more meaning and long term. This fairly short read had me happily turning the pages and I was fully immersed in the storyline and engaged with the likeable characters. I loved Thea and Ben and their chemistry came across in the writing, and I was cheering them on and hoping they would get their HEA. A real festive read which has made me feel ready for Christmas.
