skimmed through this book to see what all the fuss was about. better than the chestnut springs series in my opinion with having more depth to their relationship other than just physical but still not something to rave about.

I loved this and flew through it. The Disneyland setting was fun and the characters had well developed back stories so their behavior had believable motivations.

 Leer el segundo primero fue muy inteligente de mi parte, de haber leido esto no seguía leyendo los otros ni en pedo. Millonario descubre que su empresa tiene a sus empleados en condiciones horribles cuando empieza a cogerse a una. Toda la relación en general no me la creí nunca y me parecio muy turbia desde el comienzo. El principio de fingir demencia no funciona aquí. Ese último capítulo me hizo querer arrancarme los ojos.
Reading the second book first was very clever of me; if I had read this beforehand, I wouldn't have read the others. Millionaire discovers that his company keeps its employees in horrible conditions when he starts fucking one of them. I never bought the whole relationship in general, and it seemed very shady from the get go. The principle of delulu yourself does not apply here. That last chapter made me want to rip my eyes out.

I thought this was a fun read with good characters, a fun setting, interesting concepts, and decent character development overall.

I loved the theme park setting, and the whole deal with Rowan's grandfather, his will, and his plans for the park and his grandsons was pretty cool. I would have liked to see him in more flashbacks to really get a better sense of him as a character.

I thought Rowan was a decent representation of the grumpy trope. He balanced being a demanding, stoic person with moments of vulnerability and genuine care and compassion. Zahra was the typical manic pixie dream girl, but I really enjoyed her! I think she'd be the kind of person I could easily hang out with and be friends with.

While the story was interesting, there really wasn't anything about it that's compeling me to pick up the other two...I just kind of found myself not really caring too much about how things pan out for the other two brothers.

If you enjoy grumpy/sunshine, billionaire romance, Disney World/theme parks, and enemies to lovers, you'll probably appreciate it!

iamnotamber's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

DNF. I really wanted to like it. I got about halfway through. The characters are cute but it's very Hallmark rom-com convenient. I could enjoy that, even with the forced plot misunderstandings, if the author didn't ALSO spell stuff out for the reader. I would think it was written for teens if the MMC didn't constantly talk about his junk.
I'm really disappointed too because I know the next book has my favorite tropes, but I literally got to the moment they do it for the first time, and I didn't even care.
