I can’t say I love the premise of this story: a woman needs to be married in the office in order to fit in? What century are we in? Because of this, the FMC lies and says she’s married when she’s actually divorced. Better to say nothing. She goes on to agree to a next day appointment with her boss’s partner, who is marriage counsellor, with her and her non-existent spouse. Again, what century are we in? A lot of readers find this set up funny, but I’m finding the humour rather cringey and forced. I hope this improves. I ’ve often found romances can have cringey beginnings but manage to sort themselves out after that initial meet-cute.
Also have to say personally, I really don’t like Erin Mallon as a narrator. The other two narrators (MMC & marriage counsellor) aren’t that great either. I find EM tends to overact. This tends to backfire when the humour is forced. I usually don’t mind Teddy Hamilton, but I’m not vibing with him here. I’m trying to sort the narration out from the story. Unfortunately, Libby does not have an ebook copy of this so I can’t switch.

This one was a miss for me-- it's about 24 hours or less of time covered in the text, and while the characters aren't declaring their love, it was not clearly a romance? They meet, Anna is completely confused on what is reality, she relies on her (problematic) upbringing to push Ripley to 'marry' her, which he agrees to because he'd always longed for a mate... then he protects her from violence and then they have sex, and then it's over. This truly might even be more of a short story length over novella. I just didn't understand Anna's choices or thought processes, their communication was okay during the moment but lacked SO MUCH context it was outrageous... Just overall felt like the garnish of story to surround a sex scene? Plus basic grammar/typos throughout, felt like it really needed an editor or at least a beta reader. PLUS all the religious trauma and language = yikes.
