I don’t know how to feel about this one. I think I liked the story and wanted the characters to end up together but also he is the worst kind of person. I guess that is the point but she literally did not do one thing wrong to him the whole time and he was a liar and manipulator who couldn’t admit his feelings even to himself.

That being said, I will be continuing the series because I want to see Declan eat his words and be humbled by Iris because I know that they are supposed to end up together.

Also, I love the representation of differently ambled people in this book. Anni is the best character and you can’t tell me otherwise,

plus they incorporated a positive action scheme into the park

Love love love.

A great start to a series! Just the right amount of spice to keep it interesting and plot to keep you invested. It can drag on at times and the characters do make you frustrated at times. But in the end it’s worth it.

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.
