~*SYNOPSIS*~
Passion was never in the bargain
Addison Reed lost her fiancé, but she’ll do whatever it takes to protect his legacy. When the gorgeous and arrogant landowner, Brazilian billionaire Bruno Duarte, who is thwarting her at every turn, refuses to meet with her, she puts her plan into action.
He will listen to her
Bruno’s plan was simple: return to Brazil and marry to fulfill his father’s dying wish. But when his engagement crumbles, and he’s then stranded with an idealistic woman hell-bent on saving a tribe of people on his land, he sees the perfect solution. If his feisty and passionate abductor agrees to a bogus marriage, he’ll relocate the tribe.
With the Brazilian heat rivaling the growing heat of their desire, will Bruno and Addison abandon their respective plans and give in to each other, or will their differences tear them apart?

This book was such an interesting read! I learned quite a
bit about Brazilian culture (which I knew next to nothing about to begin with)
and one of my all-time favorite book tropes is in this one—they hate each other
and scream sexual tension until they give up and end up having sex on the floor
(ok, not the floor, but close enough). I give it three stars!
I had absolutely no idea what I was going to be reading when
I picked this book out to read—I was pleasantly surprised. The initial premise
is fascinating—the war between two people, one, Addie, who is desperate to save
a native Brazilian tribe from Bruno Duarte, who’s selling the land the tribe
lives on for development. In order for both to get what they want, Bruno
suggests an outrageous bargain—Addie will marry him, and she’ll buy the tribe
time to relocate. What neither of them counted on was actually falling in love
with each other.
I really wanted to see more detail out of this story,
though. I found myself trying to figure out Brazilian culture and why Bruno’s
big secret (I won’t spoil it for you, though) was met with so much negativity
by his family. Because it’s such a focal point of his character development
throughout the book, I was confused and a bit frustrated.
But despite that, this was a delightfully sizzling read that
was very well written! Check it out, Fallers!
