Zahra works for what basically amounts to Disneyworld (and the larger Disney empire) but with another name. Rowan is one of the heirs and needs to prove he should earn his shares in the company, but  childhood trauma has left him unkind and without his prior passions. I enjoyed the similarities with a certain theme park and their banter. However I struggled a lot with Rowan’s character and the speed with which Zahra got over any problems they had. It was also a slow build to the spice, which was fine, but I didn’t feel invested in their more intimate relationship. 
I did love the characters and commentary on the lack of inclusiveness in the park, in character costumes/etc and in employment for people who are differently abled. 
I always love a HEA and I liked the ending plot-wise but I felt like the characters fell a little flat for me at the end.

This actually blew my mind. I was not expecting such a good book.
It's like, of course you're familiar with the plot, it is generally predictable, at least in what the outcome will be, but just because you know what your favorite ice cream tastes like, doesn't mean it's not still completely enjoyable. And the way in which we got to the outcome I expected was so beautiful and not at all predictable! I really really enjoyed this book!
I'm not sure what comes next, but of course it's going to focus on the other brothers and I'm here for it!

This was a cute book. I enjoyed reading it. I have a soft spot for grump x sunshine and workplace romances. The characters were alright, the romance was enjoyable, and the plot was decent.
