I loved the first interaction between the couple, and I was thinking, “this is ridiculous, I love it. Margo has already had her heart broken by one Sinclair brother, now the older, more attractive one needs her help. Their actions and decisions often felt contrived and lacked the depth and authenticity required to fully invest in their journey. Say his name again, and I’ll bend you right over this table and fuck you until the only name you can say is mine. Along with that, the conflict towards end seemed to have been used to just to increase the word count?It felt like the author took everything Booktok likes (or what’s popular) to put it in the same book. Still, Margo doesn’t hate the idea but the caveat he throws out changes everything: he needs her to be his fake fiancée to improve his playboy image. The fake relationship trope is one of my favourites and pairing it with a billionaire who is going to manufacture you a Pretty Woman moment and wants to lay the world at your feet and I'm a puddle on the floor. It doesn’t take long for all the togetherness of living, working and traveling as a pair to drive them both crazy with desire. Feel free to check out the stories after reading this, I know the authors would really appreciate it.

My problem wasn’t that it was similar similar to that “other book”, as book dupes doesn’t bother me much. I’ve been reading fan fiction only for too long and I feel bad for my reading goal so I scroll through “billionaire romance” on my kindle to find something I can read in a day, then it takes 3 days because everything about this book I hate with my chest.

I could tell that it was inspired by tropes that I know and love, and the vibes were working for me. Black Ties and White Lies is a billionaire, fake relationship, forced proximity, and ex's older brother novel and a complete standalone by Kat Singleton.The story doesn’t address some of the things I was most curious about or even develop the emotional connection very well, yet it’s not a short book. A little year after the break up with the brother, Beck needs Margo’s help and propositions her with a proposal. I love little nods to previous books by an author, and this was such a cute way of telling us that this book is set in the same universe as her other series. I think a round of editing would’ve done WONDERS for this, as there were lots of grammatical issues, things that were entirely implausible, and relationship development that evolved in a weird way.
