NOT THE MARRYING KIND is wickedly entertaining.The book started off showing each of the main characters' quandary and though it was necessary, I feel it slowed down the story. For me, the story really took off from the moment Poppy and Beck met at the airport. A light read, the book was non-stop fun and excitement from that point onward. I really enjoyed their witty banter and snark, as well as some of the more heartfelt scenes, as they navigated their way through their fake marriage until the truth was out and everything exploded in their face.However, I do think that the situations how Poppy and Beck came to meet and be together were rather far-fetched and contrived. Blackwood Enterprises seem to be a big company with the resources to secure a nationwide deal, and big investors are usually only after the profits from their investments. No one would care about the owner's marital status as long as he has the ability to deliver a great return. As for Poppy, I can't understand why she has to launch a new business planning divorce parties to make money. Why can't she continue running Party Hard (her sister's business) and make it better? The reason given was because she didn't have experience planning parties, which was why she launched the divorce party business. But...isn't she going to be planning divorce parties for the new business?If you can get past that (in first few chapters), then you're in for a wildly entertaining ride with delightful characters that will worm their way into your heart.Reviewed by Ashiafor TheRomanceReviews.com
