Review: Marriage for One by Ella Maise

Buy on Amazon | Audible

I can not stress how much I enjoyed this book. It was incredible and it was heartbreaking when I finished it. 

The premise is that Jack and Rose are basically strangers. And as a business deal, they have to get married. Eventually, they slowly begin to realize that maybe being married is too bad. 

This book is the fake marriage trope, mixed in with a dash of enemies to lovers, and a cup of longing. It’s a beautiful book, and I can’t say enough good things about it. 

I think one of my favorite things about this book was that it didn’t rush things. This is a fairly big book and it took its time allowing these to characters to grow and get more comfortable around each other. We slowly got to see them fall into a pattern and eventually into a romance. 

There have been times that when you read a big book it gets boring or it feels like it drags on. That isn’t the case for Marriage for One. I was captivated. I could read about these characters all day. They were interesting and I fell in love with them. 

Jack was a brooding man and workaholic. But underneath that hard exterior, he was sweet and caring. And there were several moments where his true character shined through and it made my heart sworn. Rose was determined and a ball of sunshine. Obviously, this wasn’t her ideal situation; however, she had reasons for joining the arrangement. I want the best for both of them. 

Final Analysis 

Marriage for One was a beautiful story about two people who enter a marriage for business purposes but actually fall in love.
