Unwillfully Wed to My Valentine by Camilla Evergreen: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

William Warrick is pure evil, and also my husband.

Be careful what you write on a Taco Bell napkin in high school. Committing to a marriage pact beside a Mild sauce stain normally isn’t contractually binding.

Unless, of course, your signature winds up next to the signature of a future billionaire CEO, who is 100% serious, 100% certifiably grumpy, and 100% the kind of person to make 30-day Valentine activities at his fancy office building mandatory.

Let’s just say, Liam’s secret stuffed animal collection can attest to his obsession with cute things; according to him, I’m the cutest thing he’s ever seen; and, now that the napkin terms are met, I’m his.

All. His.

For at least one year.

Unwillfully Wed to My Valentine is a closed-door romantic comedy with plenty of swoon and sizzle, but none of the spice. Welcome to the first novel in the EverStorm universe, featuring marriage pacts, he falls first, and forced proximity.

The Author

Camilla Evergreen is an alias of USA Today bestselling author Anne Stryker. Originally intended as a dumping ground for all things lacking fantasy, Camilla/Anne came to the shocking discovery that writing sarcastic, chaotic romcoms full of quippy heroines and adoring heroes has a kick to it.

Camilla/Anne’s neurodivergent tendencies leave her hyperfocused on writing sweet and sassy romances from dawn till dusk and lending whatever her current creative obsessions are to her characters. From arranged marriages to falling for the boss, there’s lots of love to go around.

Book Review

There are a few things that I now know to expect when I pick up a Camilla Evergreen:
1) MMC who fall hard--- some might even call them obsessed. 
2) Characters that are quirky and unique, not fitting the mold of the characters we typically find in sweet romcoms. 
3) Stories that are somehow super sweet but also have hints of dark humor and unhinged moments that doesn't seem like it should work but somehow blends together into a unique style that is purely Camilla. 

4) Taco Bell references. 

This one was absolutely no exception. Liam and Amber certainly don't have your typical love story--- what with signing a marriage pact on a Taco Bell napkin in high school and him showing up on her 26th birthday to meet the terms on their agreement despite her protests. (All very on brand here.) This definitely had a bit of a bully/dark romance vibe at moments--- but Liam was so very sweet that it doesn't seem like its intentional at all on his part. Their story was unique and fun, definitely a nice mix-up to the typical romcoms! 

Unwillfully Wed to My Valentine is a closed-door romance with kisses only. It does have minimal minor language and some innuendo.
