I went into this knowing nothing besides having read this author before so being familiar with their style. I was not expecting a ‘family that owns basically disneyworld’ billionaire romance. I didn’t personally jive with setup for the relationship and there being two times the Rowan betrayed Zahra (the justification was lackluster). I’ll continue the series cause I think the premise of this relationship just didn’t do it for me especially as a workplace romance. I also personally did not need two epilogues. 

4/5🌶️

The book was cute there were times that I would giggle to myself over Rowan and I would tell myself to calm down that he isn’t real. His love for Zahra was cute until he became a dick and said horrible things to Zahra while she was in the HOSPITAL and RECOVERING from pneumonia. If that didn’t happen I would’ve given this book a five stars but it’s whatever. And people hate on Zahra but she’s a lot like me personality wise (not the whole positivity thing just the whole “don’t think about his dick” and liking historical romance) but I did find her annoying some times. And the best character of all were Cal and Ani I don’t care what anyone says. As a fellow middle child I love Cal and I can’t wait to read his story. And Ani was just so lovable I just wanted to hug her and when she protected her sister after Rowan broke her heart made me proud of her.

The sex scenes made me blush and crack a smile almost caused me to jump and run around my room when he told Zahra to say that she was his. But this book has A LOT of dick jokes or mentions of dicks.

I literally sat and read this in like 12 hours. I completely fell in love with the story and the characters. Granted Rowan is a teensy bit on the manipulative side, and I don't excuse his actions at times but his history is enough to understand why he is that way. And praise to the author for writing Zahra as someone who knows her worth.

I am not usually someone who reads contempory romance, but I fell in love with this book and will happily read more as a result.

This little Disney romance book had no business being as good as it was. I went into this expecting it to be “meh” and came out of it pleasantly surprised. 

There were a few things I found to be tropey and cliche, but that was to be expected. The references to “Dreamland” (Disney) were fairly obvious, but as someone who enjoys the parks, and has a husband who works for the mouse, I thought some of the small references to be quite entertaining. 

Overall, I thought this was a sweet, but spicy, grumpy/sunshine romance where even the sunshine has her own dark past. Together, they get to find their own happiness.

This was an interesting read, I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. 
The writing was as I expected from this genre & the s*x scenes were steamy & a little cringe, I actually skipped a couple of pages as they were just too much! I know she says she likes his dominance in the bedroom but I found it too much!! 
The ending was cute and expected!
