![]() RSVP to my Marriage of Convenience I swore I would only get married if my life depended on it. Oh, the irony. Many things have happened over the last few weeks that I didn’t see coming. My family imploded. Our business was turned upside down. And someone threatened to harm me if I didn’t make good on my father’s promises. But the biggest thing I didn’t see coming? Foxx Carmichael demanding marriage. He’s doing it out of loyalty to my brother. I know that. But I can’t help but think if, through that deliciously hot, grumpy exterior, my bodyguard doesn’t have ulterior motives. There’s no denying the fire in his touch or the heat in his blue eyes. He protects me with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. He makes me rethink many things I thought I knew for sure—like my position on marriage. But how we dance around our fake relationship makes me wonder what part of this is pretend. None of it matters if he doesn’t admit he feels the same way. Our sham wedding will fall apart as soon as the threat is contained. But what happens if the flames between us burn everything to the ground first? 4 Heart Review by Ashley I feel like I've been waiting on Foxx's story since the Charmichael series rolled out and I was not disappointed at all. Flame had it all...chickens, a charity auction, a touch of danger (who knew Adriana Locke had that up her sleeve?) and a love years in the making. I loved Foxx and his gruffness. His protective instinct. His loyalty. And how he never backed down when those he cared about needed him. Enter Bianca. His former charge and the woman he couldn't get out of his head. When she needed him he stepped up and in the most epic way. I loved the not so slow burn. The longing and anticipation. The playfulness. These two brought the heat! But beyond their attraction was an understanding and acceptance that they had both been missing. And while they were busy finding their footing someone was plotting... My pulse was pounding and I was reading as fast as my eyeballs would allow to see how everything would pan out. Whew! From start to finish Bianca and Foxx's story had me hanging on every word. It was full of passion and was the perfect way to bid farewell to this wonderfully ridiculous family.
