ARC Review
Only for the Year by Natalia Lourose
Grace Morgan is a post-graduate with a dream of becoming a writer. Unfortunately, she is drowning in student debt, rejection letters, and the constant fear of losing her job as a waitress at an elite, kinky club. When she accidentally spills a drink on an important client, she loses the only source of income she currently has.
But the client, Asher Caine, surprises her with an unexpected proposal: become his fake wife for one year in exchange for one million dollars. It is an opportunity she simply cannot refuse. The real question is… does she truly know what she is getting herself into?
If you enjoy billionaire romance with a touch of kink, this book might be right up your alley. The story features dual POV, fake dating, a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, instant attraction, and plenty of family secrets.
Half of the story focuses on the evolving relationship between Grace and Asher, while the other half explores the scandals and secrets surrounding Asher’s family. There are moments of intensity, especially with the danger surrounding them and Grace’s struggles with anxiety.
I particularly enjoyed how their connection deepened through their intimate moments and how that growth helped Grace become stronger in her everyday life. Her character development throughout the story was noticeable and satisfying. One of my favorite moments was when Asher finally went after her.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy steamy billionaire romances filled with emotional tension and dramatic family secrets.
