 I did not think I would love this book so much but I did. Rowan and Zahra are one of my favorite book couples of all time. All of the characters were amazingly written and I especially loved Ani, she's definitely my favorite character. The only thing that ticks off some points for my rating is around the 2/3 mark we had like 4 sex scenes in like 100 pages and I think it was a bit excessive and I felt like they just did like the same thing in all of them and I don't really feel like there was much need for as many of them as there were. Especially since only like 2 of them came back up in conversation. Overall I love this book and I am happy to give it my first kind of 5 star of the year

Loved the setting of this book and it’s similarities to another popular Florida theme park. The romance and spice levels were just right, although there wasn’t much of a cat and mouse game between the two main characters. This book was enjoyable and I’m looking forward to the next brothers story.

“If I had a heart to give, it would be all yours. Free of cost.” 

I had high hopes when I went into this book given the fact that the series is all over the internet. Unfortunately, it wasn't met and I just simply just enjoyed this book not thinking that it would be up there with the other books that are actually good. 

It has been so long for me since I've read a employee x boss workplace romance - in fact, I can't even think about a book with that trope at the top of my head, so I guess this might be my first. To be honest, not much has retained from my memory and that’s already a pretty depressing fact. The only things I can remember is that I love workplace romance in this setting - boss and employee. I love how both of them took a vacation and how he actually planned a book signing event just for her. I mean, if you have gazillions of moolah, why not spend it, right? That’s like one the of highest point for me as a book reader (my boyfriend bought me one book in the span of our 3.5 years together so that’s saying a lot). 

I think one of the plus points is that they focus so much on work employee’s problems and what benefit they get from the work - this itself redeemed a lot of stars because it’s so relatable especially in the Philippines where health insurance is very limited. I’m thankful that the company I work for has it as a benefit but with the rising expenses, my wage is legit can’t keep up. Will I recommend this to my boss? Definitely no (lol). 

The romance between the two MCs are pretty cute considering that it’s grumpy x sunshine so it did make me smile a lot. Also, Rowan is just too cute but kinda dumb for letting Zahra go but he got smarter by the end so everything’s good between us now. I’m happy to see the epilogue too because ugh it’s just so cute to imagine where they would be in a few years time.

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.
