I've been curious about how Leanne and Trevor ended up married and this book explores their story and it is lovely. It is not really a fake relationship because they are definitely involved even though they get married so Leanne will be taken more seriously for the city council. There were some points that I wish had been a little smoother but I loved the end when the magic users out themselves to the world but there is so much other news going on that no one really notices. That makes a LOT of sense to me.
Leanne Vanderpol grew up with a mother who was more concerned with finding love (in all the wrong places) than in raising her daughter. She wanted to be different but she already has two divorces under her belt. At least she didn't have children with either of her ex-husbands. Now she just works in a sausage party where the men treat her as lesser than because she's a woman. But she's going to change that by running for city council and working from the inside.
Trevor Montgomery got out of a bad relationship and just sort of... collapsed. Now he spends his days doing odd jobs, smoking weed, and hanging out with his friend and his friend's friends (he doesn't think they like him for himself.) Sure, Leanne is hot and hooking up with her in a bathroom during a party at their friend's house seems like a good idea at the time. But getting married? And being her househusband? Well, at least it's a direction in life.
Of course, this is a romance so it might just be that this relationship that starts off so tentatively might just make them both a little stronger.
