I finally finished it. When I say finally, I mean this took so long. The book kind of actually ended at chapter 120 or something like that but they had little side stories for the next like 30 chapters. But I finally finished it and I am so happy. The book was OK. I started it before, but it was still being written so I started and stopped a couple of times before actually even finishing it. It’s basically a revenge story. One thing that I didn’t quite understand is how she had so much power and yet she never really used it. I just felt like she should’ve used her power in fighting situations a lot more than showed because it seemed that she was actually a lot more weak willed than she was, and she was just pretending to be strong. Or like they were trying to create her to be a strong female character, but I never believed it. Either way her family was kind of trash and I was actually a little bit sad that her mom ended up dying although her mom was trying to kill her. She kind of turned it around and was trying to help her in the end but she still ended up dying. I was like, but I mean she wasn’t really trying to help her. She was more so helping herself so yes and no. But I felt like they paste it very oddly. The whole thing with the Empress Stanger I guessed it immediately and I was like OK let’s just see how this plays out. But honestly, I felt that led up to this whole big crescendo this climax that really was anti-climactic. So the whole thing is basically like she hast to become the Arabella so that she can stop this disease from spreading and that literally starts at I want to say the beginning of the book , it’s like right when she makes her contract with the Duke. But they never express her a version to being a contract kid or even going to them addressing the contract after it’s made. I was thinking that we were going to have a little bit more along the lines of your our real daughter and we care about you. We don’t want the contract anymore. We just want you kind of conversations. But instead, they kind of just welcomed her and she had one or two other fleeting moments where she was like well I’m just a contract kid and then they never addressed it. She was like I’m just part of the family And I’m like what like we never got over that. And we also had a moment where she was like. I’m scared of fire and all of this but they kind of tried to bring it back with stones and I was like no no she’s not afraid of fire stones that was the whole point of the stone was that there was no fire in the house so she wasn’t afraid of fire stones but OK . Another thing they had addressed was the whole situation with the mom being betrayed. We don’t know how she got betrayed and how she got this car on her face. I thought they were gonna explain it in the extras, but they never did she just got betrayed that’s it that’s what they said and I was like OK whatever I don’t really care but I thought they would’ve explained it instead they explained how the parents met and how the dad got his scar but OK. so anyways back to the plot, it was kind of like how she was introduced to the family. The oldest brother Rielee took her and the younger brother was a little bit more weary of her and took some time to warm up then she goes and has all of these little side Things that go into how she becomes the Arabella and I’m like OK whatever I don’t really care and she becomes Arabella and now we’re just literally filling in time so that we can get to the point where she hast to fulfill her duties. At this time we realize that or at least I did that they needed to create romance and I was like I’m not feeling it. I really felt that the man liking her just came out of nowhere. I know it was supposed to be like oh you know I’ve like her for so long. I’ve been her friend for so long and this and the third, but it really came out of nowhere and he was over here like she reminds me of my little brother . Chemistry like they were fine, but I was like she she could’ve had somebody else or he could’ve been with somebody else I really wouldn’t of cared. To climax, so the whole thing with the temple was actually a pretty good fight scene except like she got tricked by them two kids, and I was like how you get tricked by it but go off . And then it just didn’t make a lot of sense and I was like I do not care and then the whole fight scene. Now the fight scene was in different places because the mom was fighting the Empress, the dad was fighting her old dad, she was also fighting her dad and plus the assassins and then her brother was fighting the assassins and was helping the mom , the other brother was helping mom and then I don’t know why but all of a sudden now they’re attacking the Dukes house and the leading man kind of sort of arrested his daddy and then he was going and fighting and I don’t even like he was he was everywhere he was helping the mom and then he was helping her and I was like, bro where are you , and that whole situation was just so confusing, annoying because it was like built up to be like this huge fight. It was so good but it wasn’t. And I want to say mostly it’s because the dumb king. so the king was like oh my gosh no my son is my son blah blah blah and I’m like who cares that boy is not your son. You may have thought he was your son all these years but he’s not your biological son OK and he is your stepmother son who she’s trying to Make the king and he’s cool with that so he was gonna use syrup the throne and like no offense, but you knew that your brother also had betrayed you you’re stupid. He was just letting anybody and everybody get away with everything and then they want to be like oh yeah he didn’t let anybody off when they found no no. Mr. teddy bear was just trying to look hard, but he was really reeling. He he was not a good king and he really did a disservice to the people of that kingdom. I felt that they deserved better and he would have led them Into despair he would have. But he was like oh we needed time of peace and pieces but we needed time of peace with the competent king and he was not. He was way too nice and way too weak willed as well. So anyways, the wife would’ve better better than him , but yeah, so all of that and then we end with her sucking up the virus or the plague or whatever and then we go into the side stories and I’m like you know what as a matter of fact I couldn’t care less about this dumb book anymore, it was around the time where she went to the temple that I was like yeah I don’t wanna read this anymore and I just like kept reading and it was I had to push I had to push, but yeah So I don’t think I would ever read this again. It was the first time and that’ll be good enough for me.

Married for The Greek's Convenience

Complete | Michelle smart,Kazuna uchida | 2019 released

I am so happy that this series is over. This is the worst one in the entire series. So the story starts out with the leading couple being the matchmaker from the other three books and the last bachelor. The last bachelor finds out that he is still married to the matchmaker who he married like 10 years ago when he was 20 and she was 19 at this island. Also, the leading lady keeps saying like oh I was a child which is true, but if you were a child, why were you getting married. Like, that was not the best of decisions. Either way she keeps trying to push all of her insecurities on him kind of sort of. Like, she mentioned at one point she had lost all her confidence and it was only because she was 19. But I’m like there are 19-year-olds with a lot of confidence. Either way he is trying to get custody of his nephew because his brother is going to rehab and his sister-in-law needs a transplant of some kind and his parents are super crazy. Come to find out his parents are actually sort of the reason that his brother is doing drugs. So he lures the leading lady back to the island that they met and got married at . And when he gets there, he’s like I need your help to pretend to be my wife because we’re actually still married. And then they go somewhere else to talk a little bit but when they get there after talking for some time, he just like kisses her out of nowhere and a paparazzo catches the picture. So she’s thinking about his reputation is like oh no ‘what about you? What it’s gonna happen if you get another magazine picture’ and then also like what about her and her business. But then she puts two and two together or something and finds out that he actually orchestrated this whole thing and the paparazzo is on his payroll so that he could announce to the world that he’s married. So he releases the picture and announces that he’s married to her the next day and she loses her career her business and her clients. She mentioned that doesn’t this make him just like his parents but she didn’t actually say it to him. Then he finally has an actual conversation with her and she’s like yeah I have been doing good with myself and he’s like oh yeah didn’t you wanna be a writer. She’s like yeah, but I stopped wanting to be a writer and then I got into this because I was really good at it being a matchmaker and what not and then he saw the passion that she had from matchmaking. It was only after that he realized oh no, I took away her choice to do anything with her career and ruined her career. It’s unforgivable doesn’t that make me just like my parents and I’m like you said it… Anyways, so he does absolutely nothing that warrants her love and affection, but he gets it anyway. And, they sleep together of course cause what is one of these books in the series without them sleeping together. And she’s like oh no I’m kind of falling for him and then finally the brother comes and picks up the boy and she’s like oh well I’m gonna miss him and he’s like we should have one of her own. She’s like oh that’s funny. So then she goes back into the room and starts thinking about something I don’t even know. Like the monologue right there was just so stupid and she’s like ‘I’m just not meant to be a housewife’ cry cry. And then she leaves him a note and goes back to New York and then he doesn’t do anything because she said she wanted to leave. I’m thinking finally! He’s actually listening or at least being a respectful human being. But then she’s like he didn’t even have to come after me like I thought that if I gave him a note, he would at least like jump on his private jet, and come race over to me. And I’m thinking to myself … you stupid bozo so do you want to be with him or not because you said you didn’t wanna be a housewife and you didn’t wanna be with him. But now suddenly you want him to come back and gravel to get you back when you’re gonna say what no? Again? We’re just wasting time get somebody else get the divorce and get somebody else but either way it doesn’t matter. She ends up publishing a short story in a magazine. He comes in is like oh here’s some flowers for you. Congratulations on your publication. She’s like blah blah. I’m not like other girls blah blah blah. I don’t like flowers and he’s like I tried to tell the guys and she’s like what else did the guys say and then he was like yeah I should’ve just bought a gossip magazine and lure you to a wedding hall. And she’s like oh yeah I remember because that was crazy and I feel bad for that poor girl and I was thinking to myself me too and so then he’s like, but I don’t feel like I have to do all of that and she was like what. And then he was like you know what I’m saying we’ve been married, but we never actually had a wedding ceremony come on let’s go get married. And then of course she goes and he’s planned everything in 10 days because he’s astronomically perfect or whatever and the other dumb bozos are also there with their ogres that forced them sort of in a marriage and then it ends thank the Lord!
