About this ebook
'You can never go wrong with Christina Lauren!' Paige Toon
'One of the most romantic meet-cutes I have ever read' Frolic
Marriages of convenience can be so . . . inconvenient.
From subway . . .
Monday night. Wednesday morning. Friday lunchtime. Holland Bakker plans her journeys to work around the times handsome Irish musician, Calvin McLoughlin, plays his guitar in the 50th Street subway station. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, Holland is destined to admire him from a distance. Then a near-tragedy causes her busker to come to her rescue, only to disappear when the police start asking questions.
To Broadway . . .
Keen to repay Calvin, Holland gets him an audition with her uncle, Broadway's hottest musical director. When he aces the tryout, Calvin's luck seems to have turned - until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he doesn't have a visa.
To happy ever after?
Impulsively, Holland offers to wed the Irishman to keep him in New York. Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway, while their relationship evolves from awkward roommates to besotted lovers. Yet surrounded by theatre and actors, what will it take for Holland and Calvin to realise that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?

I have been reading almost all of Christina Lauren's books and I can see a progression in their writing. The beautiful and wicked series, they were literally having fun. But with dating/hating and roomies, I can see that they want to move out of the bracket of fun reading/lovemaking to mindful writing. One of the main reasons why I like their books is because it has relatable characters with relatable ambitions and problems. But with the recent books, these identity/work issues are given as much importance as the love making. Especially with roomies. The impact of music, how it holds you, sways you, transforms you, is so vividly described. And also the identity crisis of Holland, is something that most people will be able to identify with. So, It is a good read.
