If you're into billionaire romances, A Temporary Forever by Maxine Henri is worth picking up. The story follows a businessman with deep-rooted commitment issues and a determined dancer in need of a visa, setting the stage for a compelling and high-stakes relationship.
One of the standout aspects of this book is the clear and believable motives for both protagonists. The characters are well-developed, and their psychological depth feels authentic, making their actions and reactions feel realistic and relatable The tension between them is delicious and on page from the get go.
I particularly appreciated seeing a curvy female main character who is also portrayed as graceful—it's a refreshing representation. While there was a moment where the term "lithe" seemed inconsistent with the established description of her, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment.
The male lead is not always likable, but his complexities and the slow unravelling of his emotional barriers really do make me feel like he's a fleshed out character. The story is well-written and easy to read, making it effortless to get lost in. It kept me hooked, and I’d happily give it 4 stars.
