Review: Unexpected Offer by Dani Grimes
“My eyes welled with tears and we stood there, breathing the same oxygen, neither of us willing to move. The crack in my heart penetrated deeper because I knew her admission didn’t change a damn thing.” (p. 231)

Review:
First, I would like to thank the author and Grey's Promotions for providing me with a free advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
An extra spicy sapphic marriage-of-convenience romance
It took everything in Lavi to walk away from Sloane when they first met, not wanting to get involved with someone who was just eighteen and crashing a college party. Now, a few years later, Lavi has reconnected with her best friend, Adrian, only to discover that Sloane is his younger sister. Neither expects this fling to turn into a relationship, but when Lavi offers a marriage of convenience in order to help Sloane gain access to her trust fund, things get complicated. Lavi has vowed never to be in a relationship with anyone after witnessing her mother’s grief over her father’s death, so why is it so hard to let Sloane build a wall between them–a wall she wanted in the first place?
After reading Unexpected Proof, I was so excited to read Lavi and Sloane’s story in Unexpected Offer. As side characters, they had been radiant, so I knew their love story would be too. While it takes the series back in time, the fact that everything occurs right after Adrian has split from his ex-wife means there is very little overlap. Unexpected Offer is spicier than the first book, starting with instalust but transforming into something deep and meaningful. I’m excited to begin reading the conclusion of the series!
Audience: adult
Trigger warnings: death of a parent, description of progression of Huntington’s Disease
Recommended for fans of: sapphic romance, LGBT, brother’s best friend/best friend’s sister, instalust, marriage of convenience, consensual nonmonogamy, menage, dom/sub/switch, fear of commitment
Publisher's Synopsis:
Sloane Harrison has big plans to open an art gallery that promotes LGBTQ+ artists, provides financial support to the community, and turns a profit. The only problem is her start-up finances. Turns out, getting a business loan fresh out of college is harder than she expected, especially for an untested business model.
Lavi Cohen moved back to Boston after spending four years tending to her dying father. Now, she’s living her dream of running a non-profit to help immigrants in Boston assimilate and seek citizenship and is excited to reconnect with her best friend, Adrian. Even though the dating scene in Boston is great, given what she witnessed her mother go through with her father’s death, and Lavi’s own uncertain future, the last thing she wants is a relationship.
When Lavi and Sloane cross paths, the physical attraction is overwhelming. Luckily, they both know it’s just about the sex. But after Sloane’s loan falls through, Lavi makes an outlandish proposal to try and help: Get married, but keep it just sexual; no falling in love. What should be an ideal arrangement becomes a problem when Sloane realizes she can’t uphold her end of the bargain and Lavi’s fear of having her father’s genetic, terminal illness prevents her from letting Sloane in.
Neither one of them expected a wife at this point in their lives, but it’s what they both have now. So, what happens when the agreed upon deadline for their annulment approaches and their feelings are anything but fake?
