Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige - ARC Review & Release Blitz





She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?

No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.

The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it's starting to feel.

Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I'm planning, he'll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?




Laurelin Paige blends dark and twisty with romance incredibly well. The characters aren't perfect but you enjoy and like them.

Ax and Adly have been, well not friends, but...something with benefits, for a while when she needs a husband and he agrees to help her.

She is, literally, in it for what she gains. Ax however is in it for Adly. It takes her a while to catch on to this, even though the way he treats her and reacts to her made it pretty clear there was more present for him than a bargain.

It's fun watching both of them navigate their relationship. Their connection feels real and authentic. The dialogue (a strength of Laurelin Paige) is perfect.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

About Laurelin:


With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however.


When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Killing Eve or Letterkenny, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio.


She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
