I feel conflicted. I really wanted to like this book but I felt like the relationship between the two main characters moved extremely fast and then the plot of Dreamland and the inheritance had a lot of potential and was interesting but I felt wasn’t really a focus. For a book I felt that focused on the characters, the main characters felt pretty one dimensional throughout while the chemistry felt forced and rushed. I struggled to finish the last 15-20% of the book. I really wished I liked this better than I had bcause of all the hype. There were some times during the book that I thought were cute though and Rowan and Anni’s banter were the saving grace for me.

I liked this book. I thought it was well written (I mean is Lauren Asher, I didn't expect otherwise) and the relationship was super cute. I think that each character had good development but they were also their own person, meaning that their whole identity was in their relationship, they were just two individual people who fell in love and a relationship blossomed out of that but they didn't lose their own individual identity. I would have liked more back story on the characters, I think it was just very what's happening in the moment and because of that there were times where I would be confused by some things because we didn't know the back story. I just needed more on the back story aspect. We got  some info but not a lot. Zahra is just a great character, I think she is very fun and bubbly but also knows how to be a business woman and is so responsible and passionate about her job and I love that. She is also clear in what she wants out of the relationship, she made it clear to Rowan when he messed up that he needed to work on that and fix it because she wouldn't be putting up with it if it kept going, and I think that is so powerful. Rowan was so cute. He fell in love with Zahra but struggled so much with that realization but as a reader you can see his development very clearly. I think that he made it very hard for us readers to not love him once we saw his development and I am here for it. Their relationship is so cute, the banter, the tension, and spice, the respect they have for each other, and the way he won her heart over and over again was so cute. Would read again

Zahra and Rowan together are an absolute perfect couple for each other, I just loved their connection with each other 

The story line seemed a little bit rushed, but the storyline and Rowan's character development was sooo good like he was a whole ass at the start but by the end all he wanted was Zahra 
That epilogue was a perfect ending, definitely something we needed to hear

But like the only thing other than the rushing was like Rowan just did too much wrong too Zahra like yeah you love her and everything but dumping her while she's hospitalised is crazy and then trying to get her back a few days later like that's just 1 of the things he did - I just felt as if his screw ups could've been better (if that makes sense)

It's been a while since I've read these types of books, and I can say that it's been comforting to start doing it again.
This is your typical grumpy-sunshine, I-love-my-boss kind of book. It's nothing too exciting, but leaves you wanting for more.
The main characters are Rowan and Zahra. Rowan is your typical alluring, brooding, mysteriously silent boss, while Zahra is a ray of sunshine. Don't worry though, she has a backbone and knows her worth.
Zahra's personality is so inspiring, the way she knows her worth and when to put her foot down is admirable. She has a strong personality and is so selfless it hurts. Treating everyone with the utmost respect, she is the kind of female main character we've all needed.
I also loved Claire, Zahra's best friend, and Ani, Zahra's sister, and the support they have for Zahra and the amount of care for her wellbeing.
Rowan was alright, but I kind of think that his personality is too cliché. He makes mistakes, but he makes up for them and Zahra makes him grovel. A little. Because Rowan understands his actions and faults, he finds a way to make up for them in thoughtful ways.
All in all, I did like this book, but for me it was just lacking (if you know what I mean). I didn't get the excited tingles I feel when I really love a book, and it is kind of like all the other books that are currently trending. You don't need a Rowan, just go read the Twisted series and you'll have the same guy, the same outcome. This book wasn't anything special.

I loved Zahra and her personality and I loved the character development she caused Rowan to experience. This is the classic grumpy x sunshine trope and I really adored the side characters in this book as well. I was slightly underwhelmed within the middle of the book but I pushed through and I enjoyed the last 50 pages worth. I will be continuing the series because I'm interested in seeing Declan and Cal's stories.
