Die Geschichte folgt Anna, die nach einer enttäuschenden Trennung an einem exklusiven Resort teilnimmt, um sich selbst zu finden und über ihre Vergangenheit hinwegzukommen. Doch als sie auf einen charmanten Fremden trifft, wird sie mit ihren eigenen Gefühlen und den Geheimnissen ihrer Vergangenheit konfrontiert.

Das Buch enthält humorvolle Dialoge mit tiefgründigen Momenten der Selbstfindung. Die romantische Spannung zwischen den Hauptcharakteren wird durch die malerische Kulisse des Resorts verstärkt, was den Leser in eine idyllische Welt entführt.
Die Charaktere sind liebenswert, aber nicht ohne ihre Fehler, was sie umso realistischer und nachvollziehbarer macht.
Das Buch ist eine unterhaltsame Mischung aus Herzschmerz und Humor, die Fans von Liebesgeschichten und emotionaler Entwicklung begeistern wird.

Christina Lauren are a romance staple at the is point and this book didn’t disappoint. Just a fun time all around.

I loved the witty banter in this book, I was giggling along reading it. The female character was wonderfully well rounded, I thought we could have had a bit more character development on the male side, but overall very good.

I have completely adored this book, from start to finish. The characters and their back stories, the believable romance, the trip and the family dynamics. Anna and Liam’s relationship has developed so organically and I have loved every moment reading about it. I have now officially declared the best Christina Lauren book of all time.

Christina Lauren can do no wrong in my eyes. I first read The Unhoneymooners during lockdown, and their backlist were the perfect escape I needed during that time.

I love, love, love their books, and I always get fully obsessed.

The Paradise Problem is my favourite yet. It has a gorgeous, funny, creative heroine and a stoic, brooding hero who is broken but trying, who is caring and generous and seriously hot, omg. There is a real/fake marriage and some awful family dynamics, (some TRULY awful people), secrets and scandals and a tropical island setting that made me look up a LOT of holidays online. The banter is hilarious, the spice is perfect, the emotions are deep and the joy is unbridled.

Honestly. This book is everything. Also, HELLO Liam "west" Weston. 👀❤️‍🔥

✔️opposites attract

I can't even convey how much I loved this book!! It completely captured me. I devoured it in a couple of hours, staying up way too late because it was addictive. Christina Lauren promises AND DELIVERS!

Marriage of convenience is one of my favourite tropes so I had high hopes for this one, and let me tell you, it met and surpassed all my expectations. West and Anna are perfect! Their story got me laughing out loud, smiling like a fool, wanting to high-five West's family on their faces with a chair, but mostly just wanting to protect and hug West, he is peeeeeeerfect.

I loved how smoothly and perfectly they fell in love, how they opened up to each other and how they were their ride or die. I loved Anna's relationship with her dad and would've loved to have read more scenes of them and also with Vivi who looks like such a fun character. But I loved the book nonetheless.

And that epilogue...are you kidding me?! ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!

I know I've said the word perfect way too many times in this review but I can't help myself.

If you like slow-burn, marriage of conveniences and fun summer rom-com reads, look no further, this is IT.

Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown Book Group for giving me the ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was my first Christina Lauren book and it did not dissapoint! Anna is probably one of my favourite romance MCs - she's so unapologetically herself whilst also being fiercely loyal and hilarious, and I loved every second of it

This was sooooo good!! Christina Lauren have smashed it out the park once again! Liam and Anna were great together right from the start. Liam adored Anna's quirkiness and I was so here for it! Especially in the face of his family's attitude! The banter was witty and hilarious, there's fake dating, marriage of convenience, opposites attract - and the chemistry was INSANE, I was actually so obsessed. It's slow burn, which of course, always wins, and I just couldn't cope, I loved them together so much!

Speaking of his family - this had rich people drama in SPADES. If you love stories that have rich people drama, then this is the one for you. This is like the perfect book for summer; it's set on a private island (think Isle Esme from Twilight), there's gorgeous sunsets and soft beaches and fancy parties. We also have dual perspective in here, which was fantastic as we got to see how both Anna and Liam developed, particularly Liam as he struggles to break free of the expectations his family have of him.

The execution of this book was fantastic, a true classic Christina Lauren romance. I would've preferred that there hadn't been a third act breakup - it felt a bit far-fetched that after everything, that that would happen. But the epilogue did make up for it honestly - that was one of the best romance epilogues I've ever read, seriously read it just for that.

3.5 stars
The Paradise Problem is the perfect summer read!! If you are looking for a cute, sweet and funny book to read on vacation, this is it.
Christina Lauren’s writing is always so addictive and makes you want to keep reading. This is truly the best mix between comedy and romance.
While this wasn’t my fav book from Christina Lauren, I still found it quit enjoyable and think you should 100% give it a go.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

This book is set on tropical which makes it the perfect summer read. The descriptions of the island are so vivid and detailed, it makes it feel like you’re really there. My favourite part of this book has to be the banter and chemistry between the main characters that had me giggling and kicking my feet. The main characters have a past together and it makes for a well flushed out story, from the very first chapter I was intrigued by the past they had together and how it would effect the plot later on. These authors are truly the masters of writing romance that is the perfect mix of spicy and sweet!

I loved this soooo much. It is definitely my second favorite book by these authors. So entertaining and fun. Please read this book this summer. The setting is really great for summer!

I loooooved this! With the glitzy glamour of Crazy Rich Asians (and the troublesome extended family!), and the charm of an old-school 90s romcom, this is absolutely the romance that I'm going to be recommending everyone picks up and packs in their carry on this summer.

I loved the dynamic between West and Anna - the premise was mad, but felt grounded in these two very realistic, very relatable, and very likeable characters. I loved seeing how they brought out unexpected sides to each other - I'm always a sucker for an opposites-attract story! I'm not normally a huge fna of dual POV, but I thought it worked well here. Will definitely be recommending this!

I cannot express how much I just need Christina Lauren to PLEASE throw out the first half of a book in my entire life. Please, scrap it, write a short, more enticing intro, because from midway onwards, this book is PERFECT.

*3.25 stars*

Struggling artist Anna has hit rock bottom and finds herself in a bit of a situation when Liam who she shared housing with in college shows up on her doorstep and asks her to be in a fake marriage with him for a large sum of money.

Part of the deal is that she attends his sister's wedding on a private island, pretend she is a med student and that she and Liam have been in a relationship for 5 years to ensure he gets his inheritance. Without giving too much away, it turns out Liam's family are terrible people for the most part and Anna needs to pretend to be one of them. This serves up some funny moments throughout the book.

Pick up this book is you like:
* Opposites attract
* Fake dating
* Marraige of convenience

It is not my favourite Christina Lauren book but it kept me entertained and wanting to read more!
Definitely a good summer book or one to pick up at the beach.

Big thank you to Netgalley and Little Brown Book Group UK for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

5⭐️ | 2🌶

Christina and Lauren have been one of my most fave authors and receiving an ARC for one of my most anticipated reads was beyond amazing.

I adored The Unhoneymooners, and this one had quite a similar vibe with a lot more drama, swoon and spice! Liam and Anna are two stunning characters who are perfect for each other. I loved Anna for being her silly self and becoming Liam’s ride-or-die. She had me cackling throughout while Liam had me swooning! He’s the perfect book boyfriend and I loved watching him grow into the man Anna knew he could be. His family was quite something and I’m pretty sure I would never be able to deal with the kind of drama poor Anna had to go through. She played her fake wife part so perfectly yet didn’t compromise her morals and values.

The chemistry and tension between the two MCs was spot on and like always, I really enjoyed watching them realise their fake marriage wasn’t fake anymore!

This is the perfect summer read, and has everything you’d want from a romance novel. The tropical setting will make you want to pack your bags and head to an island and the swoon and spice will have you searching for your own West Weston to create your Paradise Problem.

Whether you’re a romance reader or not, pick this one up coz it’ll surely give you that serotonin boost!

Thank you to NetGalley for this arc.

I have loved every single one of Christina Lauren’s books and this one is no exception!!

Anna and West are brilliant. Anna was so easy to relate to as a character. Two people from opposite worlds come together!

Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Christina Lauren’s previous books.

The perfect read for me on these cold, wet, miserable winters New Zealand days! Oh to be in a tropical paradise right now...sigh. Reading this was the next best thing. A slow burn, but once the spice arrived...phew! Liam’s world is completely unrelatable to me but I still enjoyed reading about it and his larger-than-life family, although the idea of an inheritance hinging on being married seems ridiculous in this day and age surely. That’s the fun with fiction though. Anna was sassy and strong, Liam sometimes took a backseat to her huge personality but they balanced each other out well, The ending tied it all up together nicely in a satisfying way. Great romance from these two authors. Thanks Netgalley and the publisher.

The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
I give this book 4.5 stars.

A delicious romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.

I really admire this writing duo and will read anything they write!
Instead of fake dating we have a marriage of convenience (past and present) which was something a bit different and I loved it! Anna was a great down to earth character and Liam was the complete opposite to her (do opposites attract) coming from a wealthy family who have suitcases full of drama baggage to accompany the dream vacation.l enjoyed the dual POV’s from them both and was kept entertained with the banter,chemistry and humour as the storyline flowed and I kept turning the pages.The tropical island luxury setting with a money is no object wedding make this a perfect summer read …. So grab some sunscreen and a lounger and relax and enjoy!
With thanks to Netgalley,Christina Lauren and Little, Brown Book Group UK | Piatkus for my chance to read and review this book.

What a hoot this one was! Two people, who married for college subsidised housing, are thrust back together when he needs to prove her existence to his family. Whisked away to an island paradise, their "love" is constantly tested amongst suspicious family members, a room with just one bed and a see-through shower, as well as their growing feelings for each other.
Fun, exciting, and heartwarming! The perfect romance novel for anyone who watched Succession and wanted them to just kick their dad to the curb.
