For Pete's Sake by Caitlyn CoakleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Captivating Marriage Of Convenience Story
I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I always enjoy a good marriage of convenience book, they are usually entertaining and a good distraction from every day living, but this one was better than most I’ve read. What it had was plot, in spades.
Stephanie is a CEO of her grandfather’s financial company. Her parents died a few months ago and now she’s burying her husband of a year, who she just found out was married to someone else and had a baby with. Her board are determined to drive her out of her own company and are driving her crazy and her life just feels like it’s been ripped apart again.
Ethan is a personal injury attorney. One of the best in the city. He serves Stephanie with law suit papers at her husband’s funeral and for once he does not relish the start of the fight, because he knows that Stephanie isn’t to blame for his sister’s loss and for his nephew being without a father.
This first meeting leads to them getting married a few days later to save Stephanie’s company from the law suit and Ethan from losing his nephew into the foster care system.
I loved both of these characters so much. They were big and bold and strong. They also had vulnerabilities that were slowly revealed during the course of the book that stopped them from being the caricatures they could have been.
There was gentle humour in the book as well as the carefully crafted plot and the conversations between the characters were entertaining and heart warming. There was some predictability in the plot but I didn’t care because it was well written and enjoyed the journey, as much as I would have done the surprise.
I’m pleased to see that there is another book in the series already out as I really enjoyed meeting the whole Tobin clan and look forward to reading about the ‘boys’.
