The Brooklyn warehouse is filled with graffiti and pigeon poo. It’s practically begging to be converted into luxury loft apartments.
But will my mother sell it to me, her only son, the investment wunderkind?

“Darling, buildings have souls,” she says, between sips of green juice.
“Show me that you’re on the path to spiritual wellness, and I’ll give it to you.”

Enter Sydney Taylor, my best friend’s little sister, spiritually well enough for even my mother’s past selves to approve of, and my least favorite person on earth…in this life or any of the others I’ve supposedly lived. I wouldn’t date her if she was the last woman on earth. I’ve repeatedly fantasized about shipping her to Mars.

Instead, I marry her.

I know, I know, my crew has quite the history with phony relationships, but this one’s different.
No matter what my mother sees in our auras.
Or how much I want to hate-boink her maddeningly sweet little...

Yep, once my mother signs over that building, I’m definitely going to walk away from this hot-fakery totally unscathed.
And if you buy that, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Review

The Alphahole’s Guide to Marrying Your Enemy was the average marriage of convenience book. It had all the tropes. The best friend’s sister. The rich alpha male who must marry to obtain something that he thinks he can’t live without. All and all, it was a fine book.

In summary, the book is about Max and Sydney who don’t like each other. They both come from wealthy parents, and they choose to live their life differently which causes some tension between them. Max needs his mother to sell him an abandoned warehouse, and she refuses to sell it to him unless he shows some spiritual awareness. He comes up with a deal to help Sydney and her friend’s startup company, and all she must do is marry him.

It was easy to read with a simple plot. There were some funny moments and both main characters were likable. However, after I finished I couldn't help but feel like it was lackluster. The relationship development between Max and Sydney happened too fast and there really wasn't a clear path to how they got to that stage.

Final Thoughts

The Alphahole’s Guide to Marrying Your Enemy is a decent marriage of convenience book, that does fail a little in creating a solid romance.
