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

Product Information

This might be my favorite book in the windsor series so far, it definitely held a more emotional weight for me than all the other books did. My favorite thing about catharina is that she writes these stories where you’re as apprehensive as the characters are in these engagements and as the story goes on you start to unravel that apprehensiveness with the characters. His brothers beat his father in law to a pulp, like thugs, when Faye confesses the abuse she has been subjected to her entire life.

This book is 72 chapters long, and I can think of about 15 chapters (at least) that could have been scrapped completely. About 80% of this book was just Luca and Valentina forgiving each other. They were constantly having conversations about if or when they will forgive each other for some minor offense. The spicy scenes were all exactly the same, so I just skimmed over all of them (and there were a lot). Even the language was repetitive. If I had to read that there was a "flash of pain" in someone's eyes one more time... llega un punto que es asquerosamente cheesy, hace dos días se casaron (por conveniencia) y ya le estas diciendo “my love” chupame la poronga I really hope the next book is completely different from the first two, or at least in the ways that matter to separate it from the first two books. Regardless, I will keep reading this series and I definitely love the Windsor family and their arranged marriage traditions.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. And omg this was so good and my fav in the series so far! I loved how Dion falls first and is allllll in once he starts paying attention/realizing his marriage to Faye is happening. Their mothers were best friends and both died in the same plane crash. Dion definitely has ghosts from his past and feels responsible for his beloved mother’s death. I just loved these two together, their chemistry and how protective and caring he is…so good!

Publisher’s Note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be read as a standalone. The Temporary Wife contains a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating. Details About The Temporary Wife She’s as devoid of emotion as I am, and I wouldn’t have it any other way” Luca says this in chapter one folks. Denial is a river in Egypt and Luca visits often.Dion and I had a rough start I’m not going to lie. He took a little bit to warm up to, but I loved him once I did. He was so sweet to Faye and made her feel so special and loved. 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. 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!! Like the way he treated Faye was exactly how I want to be treated in a relationship!! He was so sweet and gentle to her in the beginning, reassuring her and showing her how committed he is how pretty much obsessed he is with her in the best way possible! He literally treated her like a goddamn goddess!!! I literally wanted to Faye so badly throughout the course of the book… The glossy elements of their world aside, the characters of Luca and Valentina were much more relatable than Ares and Raven. Their behaviours and doubts were much more coherent.
