One night in Vegas. One drunken vow. One surprise husband.

I don’t drink. I don’t date.
And I definitely don’t wake up married.

Ronan Black—A.K.A the stranger in my bed—is everything I don't need.

He’s a morally bankrupt charm offensive with trouble written all over his chiseled face.

I’m the good daughter, the responsible best friend, the person who never makes bad decisions.

Now, one night in Vegas just turned into a lifetime of consequences when I wake up in Ronan’s bed…with his ring on my finger.

Because he wants it to stay there.

Maybe even for good.

It’s a bad idea. The worst.

His plan is simple: stay married long enough for him to take control of his company and for me to keep mine afloat.

It’s not fake…but it’s not exactly legitimate either.

So why am I starting to think this ridiculous marriage could actually work?

Ronan might be morally gray, but he’s also becoming the only man I trust.

But do these strange feelings go both ways?

When his corrupt world forces him to pick, will Ronan choose his billions?

Or will he choose us?

My Review:

French delivers a steamy marriage of convenience romance in Morally Black Elopement. What happens in Vegas ended up changing the lives of two unlikely individuals in the second book in the Morally Black Series. A definite must-read!

What would have been a fun bachelorette weekend in Vegas for Laney Fisher and her friends ended becoming so much more the minute she wakes up in an unfamiliar hotel room with a wedding ring on her finger. The worse part is that Laney has no recollection how she got married to the sexy and charming stranger. She’s always been the responsible one of the group and does’t spontaneously marry men she randomly meets at bars. But when the smooth-talking stranger kissed her, Laney decided to give in if only for one night. Little did she know that marrying a Black would come with a prize. There is a lot on the line for Laney back home in Seattle, between saving her mother’s fashion business and her own health struggles.

Ronan Black is the complete opposite of her, he is wealthy beyond belief and has a way of getting his way that makes her feel uneasy. Yet, underneath his custom-made suits that Laney sees the real Ronan and how book smart he really is. His love for Greek classics and his humor is what seals the deal for her when he asks her to give their marriage a chance. All while giving her a hefty sum of money in the process and the promise of saving her business after their six month trail. There is a lot on the line, including losing her heart in the process. If there is something that Laney is absolutely positive of is that once Ronan makes up his mind, there is no way to stop him from claiming what is his and he vows to keep her for himself.

I absolutely loved reading Morally Black Elopement! From the intriguing synopsis to the eye-catching cover, this opposites attract romance will have hooked from beginning to end. Ronan Black has always been the fixer of the family, the Blacks command Blackguard Holdings with his dad as the head of the family. There are standards that need to be met to keep appearances among the Boston elite. That is until his oldest brother made the choice to leave the family business. Leaving no choice but to make Ronan his successor. But there is a catch and in order for Ronan to become CEO, he has to marry first. Show the board that he is serious about the company and that he can be a family man.

Marrying in Vegas was not planned, his connection with Laney is real and he can’t seem to stop thinking about her. They agreed to get a divorce first, but he has no intention of letting her go. But omitting the real reason why he needs her is what could end up damaging their chance at a real relationship if he doesn’t tell her the truth. I loved Laney and Ronan together, their connection is magnetic and their love for Greek classics brings them closer. She understands his humor all while seeing the real Ronan. The ending was sweet, I can’t wait to read the next books in the series! I would highly recommend checking out this book as well as any others by the author. You will not regret it! :)
