The Harder They Fall #2
Luc & Saoirse
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved this book, and what I loved the most is that it was such a great portrayal of a romance story. Luc and Saoirse were such a perfect couple. They had an electric chemistry, and once they started to live together, it all felt so easy and right. Giving support to each other was like a given, Luc and Saoirse against the world.
Luc has just taken the position of CEO in Rossi Motors, substituting his father who had a heart attack. The company stock value went down due to Luc’s playboy image, so his sister who is the COO, is urging him to marry and improve his image.
Luc was initially conflicted because he didn’t want to change his lifestyle. When he met Saoirse, they clicked, their best friends are in the same circle, and it made sense to choose her. Saoirse has the habit to always say yes when someone asks for a favor. She’s selfless and generous, a wild and happy woman who travels, only works temporary jobs because she gets bored, loves her family intensely and has a conflicted relation with her mother. She doesn’t believe in marriage because she was caught in the middle when her parens marriage imploded. When Luc asked her to be his fake wife, she accepted because she wanted to help him and it would only last two years (supposedly!).
Their sexual trysts only happened during lunch time and in a hotel room because Luc needed the boundaries between his home life and his fake marriage. I loved that as they grow close, these boundaries start to disappear. I loved their story as they grow close, slowly develop feelings, their fun banter, how Luc defends Saoirse when her mother offends her, and Saoirse helps him charms his clients.
“A lightness I hadn’t had for months bloomed in my chest. All because of Saoirse. Even though I continued to mess up. Even though I was absent more often than not and incredibly deficient at accepting gifts. She continued being this…f* brilliant surprise.”
I loved when Emily tells Saoirse that Luc is her lighthouse, such a lovely description of a woman who needs freedom and a man who can be steadfast for her.
“A lighthouse is a beacon to follow home, to keep ships safe from crashing, a focal point. On the other hand, an anchor locks a ship in one place and weighs it down.”
For Saoirse, Luc was her lighthouse and her mother the anchor. This story was so romantic, so loving, so generous, and the characters just lovely and relatable. I had great laughs with Saoirse’s nephew Caleb who didn’t like Luc and gave him a hard time. What is best, poor Luc actually felt gaslighted by the kid! And little Hannah who made the men in her family wear pink bows in their hair. It was a lovely story with all the emotions and wonderful characters!
