Call Me Crazy (Bellamy Creek, #3)
Melanie Harlow
It was the perfect plan. I needed a wife—temporarily—in order to inherit the family business. And she needed a favor—the kind that takes nine months to deliver. We had it all worked out, from the no-touching policy on our wedding night (her rule) to the no-falling-in-love decree (mine). She’d marry me, I’d give her the means to have the baby she’d always wanted, and one year later we’d amicably part ways with no hassle, no demands, and certainly no regrets. After all, Bianca DeRossi and I are experts at infuriating one another—we’ve been doing it since we were kids. Trouble is, she grew up gorgeous and feisty, and she still knows exactly how to get under my skin. And that wedding night? Well, it doesn’t exactly go down hands-free. Then she moves in with me, and I really start to lose my mind. From her sexy little pout to her wicked sense of humor to those meatball sandwiches she makes just because she knows they’re my favorite . . . I find myself wanting to break every rule we put in place. Our story was never supposed to end with happily ever after. But call me crazy, I just might be in love with my wife.

0This one is hard to rate. It was actually really good ... until it wasn't.
To start off with, I was not a huge fan of Bianca. I didn't like her when we met her in book 2. But I was willing to give her a chance. And she wasn't bad in this book at first. But then she got really annoying and kind of ruined the end for me.
Enzo needs a wife. Bianca wants a baby. So the two decide to get married to solve both of their problems. It would all be purely professional. They even wrote down rules. Enzo's most important rule ... for Bianca not to fall in love with him.
But of course they all in love with each other. Of course there's misunderstanding and hurt and they end up apart even though they both really want to be together. And at the end of the day, they do end up together. But not until Enzo has to jump through some hoops and prove his love. Which he did beautifully I'll admit. But also entirely unnecessarily. This author has a bit of a recipe to this series: an unlikely pairing, the guy doesn't want a relationship but ends up falling in love anyone, then because of his fears, he drives the woman away and has to make a grand gesture to get her back. That is what happened in all the books in this series except Enzo didn't really fit the narrative. He never really did anything wrong, but Bianca leaves him anyway because of her fears. Not his. She was kind of annoying. Nevertheless, these two actually went through a lot in this book so it was nice to see them get the HEA.
