Her Reluctant Husband by Erica Marselas

Release Date: March 25th 2021

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

I would do anything for my family, including marrying a man who hates me.

Not like I had a choice when the person who helped raise me tells me who I must marry in order to save my home.

When I came face to face with Alex Wilks again, the man who despises me and wishes I never stepped foot back into Kinder Falls after the day I left, I didn’t know what I was in for.

Alex was the boy I once idolized, but later, he became the man that broke my trust.

Both of us are reluctant to dig into the lies and secrets surrounding the night that broke us apart.

Because it might end up being the truth that destroys us.

One year.

We just have to survive one year.

The only thing is, we both have so much to lose.

But maybe everything to gain.

My Review:

Her Reluctant Husband is an enemies-to-lovers second chance romance that’s full of raw emotions and twists that will grab you and never let go. Not having read any other works by Erica Marselas before, I didn’t know what to expect before the book, needless to say I was impressed with the storyline and the characters. A definite must-read! 

At the beginning of the book we are introduced to June Madison, who vowed to never to return to Kinder Falls, the town who labeled her a party girl and that let her down all those years go. Having been through a traumatic experience, June had to do a lot of healing away from the town that she once called home. But it’s a death of someone that was practically family to her that brings her back to the man that she thought she’d never see again. They grew up together and she idolized him until they crossed the line and became so much more. Yet, that all ended when someone they both held dear passed living them hurt and broken. He blamed her from the start and no matter how much she tried to explain to Alex what really happened, he refused to listen leaving her vulnerable when she needed him the most.

It would take a will reading to change their lives forever, in it they must be married for a year in order to save the place they once called home or it will be sold after that year. Neither one of them wants to lose the house so they give in, but the more time they spend together the closer they get and she soon realizes that she wants to give their relationship another go. It would take a turn of events to bring them back to their past, and they’ll have to learn to forgive if they truly want to move forward. 

Alex Wilks’ main focus the past five years has been his job and the possible promotion that could come from it. After losing a family member all those years ago, he vowed to stay away from Kinder Falls, a place that brought so much pain to him. Not only did he lose that family member, but the girl that he once loved. It has been years since he has seen June and to see her back again brings him so many memories about what they once had. But the hate is stronger than anything else and he can’t forgive her for what happened no matter how much he tries. Having to have her as his wife was another shock, but they both don’t want to lose the house so he gives in as well. Neither of them expected to feel the same chemistry and fire in them that keeps pulling them together. Just as he was letting his walls down, he is confronted for all those years ago, to the night that changed his life and he is shocked when he finally finds out the truth. Now he has to face his past and convince June that they belong together before it’s too late.

I throughly enjoyed reading Her Reluctant Husband, the characters are relatable and full of depth. We see the characters go through ups and downs from the beginning to the very end of the story. It’s clear that they don’t want to be near each other when they see each other again, but they slowly let their walls down and we see just how much pain they are in. They have been through so much and they can’t face the past without hurting one another. Their banter keeps them on their toes and constantly keeps pulling them together. Their is steamy scenes and full of romantic ones too. The story does focus on heavy topics and there is a trigger warning at the beginning of the story. The author handles it very well and we do get a resolution at the end. The ending was sweet and I do wish we had another epilogue, but it still comes full circle and nicely concludes their story. I would highly recommend it!
