Genevieve is the baby of the Rodriguez clan. Her teenage crush Deo got married, her older brother Cohen is engaged, and  Genevieve feels alone, lost, and not good enough. She is floundering in school and getting tutored by Adam. They like each other but are both too timid to make a move even though they share an attraction. And when Gen finally decides to take a chance on the guy that has been right in front of her, Adam is powerless to resist. But they have a problem...he is about to be deported back to Israel since his work/school visa is expiring. She comes up with a plan...to marry her in order to stay in the country. So they face her domineering family and friends and embark on this adventure together. 

These two people are so unsure of themselves and their own abilities, but can see the amazing qualities in each other. I loved seeing their "fake" marriage become more real. They both had personal growth due to the support and acceptance they found in each other. 

I need her to realize that she's damn amazing. I need her to stop selling herself short.
"You need to try harder when it comes to yourself"

Genevieve Rodriquez is making me a better person. It's exciting and completely utterly terrifying. 

I adored Adam. I seriously just wanted to hug him. He is not the typical alpha book hero. He is a tutor and a Science Geek(Gasp!), but he is also handsome, sexy, and a little bossy. He tends to be more domineering when it comes to Gen's own good. He pushes and challenges her to be all that she can be. Most importantly he sees the potential in her where she has always though of herself as a screw up with no direction and not good at anything. And Adam is also vulnerable and does not feel worthy of her. He has had issues with his research and his experiments keep failing. He hates that she has taken a risk for him and he cannot offer her more. So it is like they are  two imperfect people who  compliment each other and fit perfectly together. 

"I feel like there's no possible way that I can avoid disappointing you and I promise it won't be a one-time deal..I'll figure out new ways, all the time in fact, to let you down. Not because I want to, just because, that's what I do. Ask anyone who knows me."

"You aren't perfect, Gen. And neither am I, not by a f**king long shot. But you're so damn perfect for me."

It is obvious that their feelings are real despite how their marriage started. They are truly adorable together and have good chemistry. But even as they get closer and more comfortable, they still have to fight their own insecurities, and lack of self worth. And on top of that, they have their families and the Department of Immigration to answer to. 

But when the honeymoon period is over and it is down to the real life stuff, will they be able to stay together or fall apart?

Each of the books in this series have a different feel to them. This installment was more subtle and endearing. The characters in this one might not have been as damaged as Whit or Maren, or have as funny, strong personalities as Deo and Cohen, but they were  sweet, vulnerable, and stubborn. Adam and Gen had enough personality to be very likable, but were not over the top dramatic or angsty. Sure they fought and had differences of opinion and communication issues, but they were young, new, and unsure. 

"There's no equation that can express how much I love you, doll. No number. There are no limits"

"So beyond infinity?"
"Beyond the limits of even infinity. It would even f**k Einstein up."

I found this installment entertaining, heart warming, and delightful. I enjoy the cross over of characters within the books and getting to see more with Deo, Whit, Cohen, Maren, Deo's holistic nurturing mom and everyone's mentor Marigold,  and the crazy Rodriguez family. They fight, they love hard, they support each other and they are ready to kick someone's a** if needed. I look forward to seeing who the 4th book in this series will be about. I am sure it will be one of the remaining single Rodrguez siblings Cece, Lydia, or Enzo. All have strong personalities and have potential for great stories. 

Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt have done it again with another winner in this series. I open their books and am engaged from the first page and totally invested in the characters. Their characters are deep and compelling. Their books are full of humor, passion, tension, and swoon worthy moments. And this one was no exception. 

Thanks to Steph Campell and Liz Reinhardt for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
