Thanks, Lauren and ValentinePR for the advanced read.
Lorenzo Vittori needs to win the elections and become Lake Wisteria’s mayor for reasons, but his ‘shady’ past and his detached ways are not helping him according to the polls. He needs to be more of a ‘family man’. So he decides to shop for a fiancée in an app where you don’t show photos or details until you match with someone. That’s how he finds ‘Ana’. They chat for months until she asks to meet. Halloween night. Masks. A revelation – ‘Ana’ is Liliana Muñoz, or Lily. Oh hell…
Lily can’t believe ‘Laurence’ is Lorenzo! And oh my god the man can kiss! But now he says he can’t have a relationship with her. Great… another heartbreak. Once more she’s ‘too much’. All that changes when it becomes clear that he does indeed need a fiancée to boost his campaign. It won’t hurt if he wins, because if his opponent does, her shop and her future plans will go down the drain. One mutual pact. Two broken hearts. If only he could love her…
Oh my heart! Lorenzo intrigued me from the first time he showed up and I know that, just like Lily, I’d be a goner. Talk about a broken ‘bad boy’! I knew he was carrying secrets and when we learn what they are, our heart breaks. He’s possessive, obsessive (literally) but overall swoony. Lily is that the girl you want as a sister or bestie. She may be surrounded by billionaires but she wants to succeed on her own merit. She also craves love and family and the poor girl has had her heart broken… only to fall for the one who’s going to resist falling in love tooth and nail. It all makes it everything more swoony when they finally find their HEA.
I’m sad to say goodbye to Lake Wisteria but I am happy to see Lorenzo and Lilly find their forever amongst flowers and fountains and gold coins. 10 out 10. No notes.
