The Temporary Wife: Luca and Valentina's Story: 2 (The Windsors)

Product Information

Overall, if you’re looking for an office romance mixed with a marriage of convenience you’ll be hard pressed to find a better one than The Temporary Wife. This series has everything I’m looking for in an interconnected standalone series. Cat telling me to jump and I’ll say “how high.” See you all in June for the Unwanted Marriage! imagine exploiting the deterioration of the health of someone’s grandmother to force them to do what you want 😭😭 i just did not feel comfortable reading this after that whole exchange. i found it such a foul exploitative thing to do, literally anything else would have sufficed as a catalyst to spur them into this arranged marriage. but since Luca had very obvious ulterior motives from early on, it was easy to see he was willing to do anything to get Valentina... My dislike towards Valentina right until the 61st chapter made me realize i haven't enjoyed this book but just heard it passively with no opinions. This book lived up to the hype for me. Just a couple of idiots in love who deny their attraction to each other and think a three-year marriage of convenience won’t deepen it, and I LOVE IT.

There is no better feeling in the world than when one of your anticipated releases not only meets your expectations but exceeds them. That’s exactly what happened with me and The Temporary Wife. All my friends can attest to how excited about this book I was. I’m pretty sure they were begging me to shut up about it, but I fear my obsession is now only going to get worse. You were never a pawn.’ He says, his voice soft. ‘You were always my queen. Everyone knew it but you.’”” Anyway, for the last 10 chapters atleast they're happily together and the two epilogues are the reason why it's 3 and not 2 stars.llega un punto que es asquerosamente cheesy, hace dos días se casaron (por conveniencia) y ya le estas diciendo “my love” chupame la poronga It was literally perfect from beginning to end and not only the plot but also the characters.. ESPECIALLY LUCA!!! Boy was he an amazing MMC, I’m literally in love with him and would drop on my goddamn knees for this man!!! stars are only for Luca (he deserved better tho)… man’s OBSESSED WITH HIS WIFE. This is the type of love i love .. OBSESSED WITH A TOUCH OF TOXIC IN IT 🥵. He actually deserved some grovelling from Valentina after she broke up with him but he forgave her too easily🤷🏻‍♀️. Okay i understand she was in a depressive stage and had just lost her grandma but after everything luca did for her .. ensuring her at every step and erasing her insecurities & fear … being there for the whole time and making her happy … taking care of her and her family even before she uttered anything out of her mouth …. she had to end things & say Luca could never make her happy ??!?!? Say what girl !!!!

La historia de este libro va así, Valentina ha sido la asistente de Luca por nueve años, los dos aparentemente no se soportan, pero ella ha sido fundamental en el éxito de él.For example, when Luca and Valentina negotiated privately the terms of their marriage, it was clear that Luca wanted a real marriage, nevermind that the marriage was a solution to a lot of practical issues. Valentina was fully agreeable to all this. However, in the many chapters following this, Valentina kept keeping her distance with her husband and suddenly clinging to a 'hate' for all Luca ever did and said to her. And she kept being surprised that Luca wanted her for more than business reasons. And she dragged this for a very long time before she actually started to fulfill her part of the bargain. Boss x secretary, forbidden romance (at first), amazing grovelling, man obsessed with his woman, he falls first AND HARDER, he literally begs for her (!!!), grumpy x grumpy, marriage of convenience and so so so much more!! when Valentina’s grandmother goes missing, Luca is already using his resources to find her but Val doesn’t know this. so she goes to him to make a deal and says she’ll stay on as his assistant (since she had handed in her resignation which Luca was viciously resistant to) if he finds her grandmother. instead, he says he’ll find her if Valentina marries him. I'm having a hard time trying to talk about this book and rating it—so I might change the rate at any time, over and over again. And that’s because meanwhile I can admit I had fun reading it, I can't say the story is objectively great or that it's super well written (so I fr don’t know if this rate is the ideal or whatever).
