The Imperfect Marriage: Quentin & Vivian's Story: The Davenports, Book 2

Wow, what can I say about this book, it made me smile and want to cry, the feelings they had for each other were so strong they were cast in self doubt but Os feeling of love and family and for Vivian are very deep and fills him with regret and guilt are sad to read but they way they resolved their love for each other is the happiest thing to read, another great book from L Steele, I could not put it down, well worth reading

Very enjoyable, having read all the others wouldn’t have missed this.Will say though felt too little was made of the death of a certain person?

Where do I start. I loved this book I was getting Daddy JJ vibes at the start. But I think Quentin knocked him out the park in Dominance. I could not believe what happened dnt want to spoil it but I had to read it three times because I thought I'd got it wrong and I couldn't understand why you would do what you did. I had to stop reading because I couldnt go on. I cried and laughed with this book the characters and extending characters draw you into there lives were you feel as if you know these people. Which is a testament to L Steele writing. I have been on this Journey right from coming across Micheal and Karma so it was hard to read but Quentin and Viv have such a strong connection and she bring out the caring and emotional side to him that he doesn't let anyone else see because he has been taught no emotions from his father Arthur and then when he was a Marine. This book is hot 🔥 and very emotional prepare to go through and emotional rollercoaster with this book can't wait for the Knox and June xxx

Q and Vivi - what a couple!L Steele NEVER disappoints!Every one of her books leaves you wanting MORE!If you love romance, relationships and Kink thenyou will love all L Steele’s books.I am so looking forward to the next book in this series! Great writing and pleasure when reading!I always pre-order and put release date in my phones diary!What a joy!

Q is HOT, loving the silver fox vibes.Vivi is fighting to give everyone everything they need, her sister money to stay dancing ballet and her dad to get the treatment he needs. She is dumped at the altar and then that’s when it gets interesting.I loved the vibe between Q and Vivian, but never expected the tear jerker event with Karma and Michael. I hope we get to know more.

The start of the book provides a rather unique meet-cute, which added something to the story. There is plenty of self-discovery at multiple levels.Vivian is a wonderful character, carrying the weight of family responsibilities that she hadn't realised were having the full impact on her. Quentin/ Q has his own issues, carrying the weight of choices he'd made. He is an interesting character, with hidden fears.I enjoyed the glimpse of characters from other books and am wondering what lies ahead for some of them. I was shocked by one aspect of the story which evoked strong emotions, having to read it a few times for it to sink in, but things don't always work out in the way we hope. I'm still touched by it, which is testament to a great writer handling things sensitively.

Loved this booked! Thought the bond between Quentin and Vivian was electric. Was really sad about karma but I’m sure there’s a reason for it and it will work into another book. Couldn’t put it down. Another amazing book thanks. Can’t wait for the next one 🌟

Started off enjoying L.Steele's books though the early ones were dark in places. They got a bit lighter but now they all follow the same format-guy wants girl, takes her/forces her hand, is an ass, falls in love, acts like an ass again, then begs forgiveness...falls in love again. Literally every time. Then the death of one of the few likeable characters from the first book! Thought surely it's a cover up or something but wasn't mentioned again. So that's me finished with these books. No originality anymore & killing beloved characters off 😢 such a disappointment.

I had to just keep reading so I could finish the book asIt was so good. Loved the characters and the storyline.Am now planning my next book.

This age gap romance is so intense! Question and Vivian make such a cute couple that you read along thinking it’s all happiness and roses. Until another character who we’ve enjoyed reading about actually dies. It’s so sad and sudden that I’m choked! It’s an unexpected situation in this book. One that I don’t think any reader expects. It makes this story so much more real.But like all the others in this series, we read on. It has highs and lows, an arrogant dominant, who takes what he wants and he wants Vivian. They learn from each other, and fall for each other, but does that mean everything is coming up roses? Maybe….maybe not. But I recommend you continue this series. I know I will.

Basically pervy rich men using money and sex to seduce women half their age. Feels like reading a modern regency books

A phrase:"'Tis some visitor. Tapping at my chamber door, only this and nothing more," I say without taking my gaze off her features. "You’re quoting Poe?" She blinks.I think you already know that JJ and Lena’s story are one of my all time favorites. I read their story countless times 😋But I surely can add Quentin and Vivi’s story to my favorite list. 🥰 I made countless notes, believe me 🤭 But one we will never forget is the opening referring to Draco. And did you know that Quentin loves poems? I did swoon with Vivian of course 🫠Our favorite author exerted herself, her earlier books and our imagination with this new beautiful story. Dear Lax, how can you do that? You are a magician 🪄🤗And I loved the Spotify playlist, including the Weeknd and Ariana Grande. Love their collabs too 😉 dangerous woman of Ariana is on the playlist but then I listened 🎧 to the dangerous woman album. Oh gosh so beautiful and it was a match with the imperfect wife especially the song ‘bad decisions’❤️‍🔥Go read this beautiful book with the gorgeous cover and enjoy 🩷 Dear Lax, thank you a ton 😘😘

What a story of kismet. The son jilted her at the church, but she was having misgivings when their eyes clashed as she walked down the aisle. He had a lot of conflicting emotions to work through and eventually he got there. A great read.
