Description

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM! When a soldier with a troubled past and a struggling songwriter agree to get married for the military benefits, neither expects much after saying “I do.” What happens when a marriage of convenience is anything but?

Cassie Salazar and Luke Morrow couldn’t be more different. Sharp-witted Cassie works nights at a bar in Austin to make ends meet while pursuing her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. Luke is an Army trainee, about to ship out for duty, who finds comfort in the unswerving discipline of service. But a chance encounter at Cassie’s bar changes the course of both their lives, and within forty-eight hours, this opposites-attract pair finds themselves husband and wife.

How did that happen?

Cassie is drowning in medical bills after being diagnosed with diabetes. When she runs into her old friend Frankie, now enlisted in the Army, she proposes a deal: she’ll marry him in exchange for better medical insurance and they can split the increased paycheck that comes with having a “family.” When Frankie declines, his attractive but frustratingly intense friend Luke volunteers to marry Cassie instead. What she doesn’t know is that he has desperate reasons of his own to get married. In this unforgettable military romance, Cassie and Luke must set aside their differences to make it look like a real marriage...unless, somewhere along the way, it becomes one...

    People give this book 3 stars because they do t understand mental illness and the sickness it can cause people. They don’t understand that mental illness and sickness doesn’t just affect the one person, but everybody AROUND that person. And it’s easier said than done when dealing and coping. This isn’t everyone’s typical love story. And that’s why people give it 3 stars. But I think this is the best love story I’ve ever read. I wasn’t he biggest fan of Cassie’s character in the book. But LUKE’S character made this read worth the time and money spent 🌺

    The movie was better… Cassie was so selfish I almost quit reading, there should’ve been more at the end and the author should have researched diabetes a bit more.

    I watched the movie first and fell in love with the movie. So I wanted to read the book after watching the movie a few times. Was nervous about reading the book because of reviews I read. But glad I didn’t listen to the reviews and read the book. Some parts followed the movie and some parts didn’t and that’s what made the book great!! Sequel???? Definitely recommend reading the book even if you watched the movie already.

    Definitely not comparable to a Nicholas Sparks book as a previous review lead me to believe. Ok read but way more bad language than necessary 🙁
  • As good as the movie.
