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.

 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.

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.

The last 20 minutes had so many icks, I had to reduce the rating from my intended 2.5 stars. Also, there’s NO WAY they would work long term. He literally catfished her and doesn’t respect her boundaries, he wants to own her (literally SAYS THAT), and they don’t have the same values. Most of it was somewhat entertaining at least, but come on…the last 20 minutes really made me cringe SO MANY TIMES.
