I like the concept of this book a lot better than the actual book unfortunately. It just felt very dubcon when there was an already built attraction that could’ve solved so much. Like if she had let him in on the fake marriage scheme initially like she planned once he woke up things would’ve worked out better and even avoided the stereotypical third act breakup/ miscommunication with a different conflict. I still adore them together but I got a headache reading this book honestly.
