Publisher Description
New contemporary romance by the author of the bestselling romance "Always"
She needs a place to live!
When a string of bad luck sends half-Asian medical student, Ivy to a bar, she meets Jax. Even though they share a troubled history--her father left her mother for HIS mother--they end up drinking and flirting...and eventually this leads to a sudden, drunken marriage neither can totally explain. She can only blame it on the alcohol and on Jax being really hot. The sex is phenomenal.
She knows his beloved grandfather is dying(in the hospital where she's training) and he doesn't want to upset his grieving grandmother. Since her roommate kicked her out, she finally accepts that they should stay in this mistaken marriage for a brief period, before getting a divorce.
Ivy moves into Jax home--into her own bedroom--and falls slowly in love with the last man she should have married. She knows she betrayed her own mom by marrying him and his witchy mother continues to be a pain, but Ivy and Jax learn to put all that aside and trust the love growing between them.

I love this book but...
This book was amazing and it really touched my soul. It would’ve gotten 4 stars but it ended so abruptly with no epilogue. The beginning, middle, and end of a book are all equally important.
Started off interesting but...
The book was interesting and overall not a bad read. I will say that the characters show some growth, but it irritated me how Jax just never gave his mom a piece of his mind until it was too late. The groveling was meh, and the ending was so abrupt. There were also some grammatical errors and somehow Chris turned into Brendan or vice versa. The secondary romances were unnecessary, but I think it made for a longer book. However, that secondary romance didn’t seem to have a conclusion as well. This book had great potential, but became anticlimactic.
