n public, Georgia Greene and Alexei Volkov act as besotted newlyweds, but in private, they’re at each other’s throats. He’s competitive, arrogant, and surly. The guy’s never cracked a smile in his life. He’s jealous of her colleague, glares at her high heels, and insists he’s not attracted to her. He’s only marrying her for citizenship.
Fighting with Alexei is more fun than Georgia expected, though, and beneath his grouchy exterior, Alexei is surprisingly caring, protective, and generous.He cuddles with her bunnies and worries about her safety. He sends her flowers with secret meanings and spends way too much money on her. He makes her sleep in his bed and calls her his wife.For a guy who said he’d never love her, Alexei’s doing a great impression of it… and now Georgia is wondering if this marriage is fake after all.
 
Meena Reading Vibe for Gloves Off 
This one’s begging to be read while curled up in an oversized hoodie with a warm drink and just a hint of attitude. Picture a crisp winter night, twinkle lights on, and you’ve got a peppermint mocha in hand. Your playlist? A flirty mix of Taylor Swift and angsty pop punk. This is for the readers who live for grumpy/sunshine tension, locker room banter, and heroes who fall hard but act like they didn’t.
 
 Pairs with:
– fuzzy socks + flannel pajama pants
– a cinnamon candle burning nearby
– texting your bestie every five pages: “okay wait they’re kind of in love ”
 
Read when you need something fun, fast-paced, and a little spicy to warm up your night — because when it comes to this romance? The gloves are off, baby.
