The love story is cute but I think my favorite part is Ani’s character and how she was portrayed (aka how she wasn’t just referred to as a girl with autism but instead a fully fledged person… how it should always be but isn’t always the case). I also loved how much Rowan showed his emotions because masculinity doesn’t equal being a robot.

The book was overall a good romance, and the diversity was great to see, however in my opinion, the book was suddenly ruined when
the epilogue showed that Zahra was pregnant.
Another disappointing part of the book was
how quick Rowan seemed to overcome his mental struggles in the end, as it seemed to just resolve instead of show that he was working on himself and improving instead of Zahra constantly forcing him to overcome his issues.</spoilers>

I really liked this one! It was emotional, but funny. Sweet and steamy. I loved the back and forth with Zahra and Rowan, they had chemistry for daaaaays. Zahra had such a big heart! I loved the theme park and the support cast too. Definitely going to read the next two books in the series.

At the 50% mark, I wanted to DFW this book but damn I’m glad I stayed with it. Although I didn’t like the MMC, Rowan, at all in the beginning, he really had a massive character glow up in the second half of this book. I was so grateful he evolved instead of having the author rationalize or excuse his shitty behavior. He was down bad for Zarah and the epilogues gave him the final developments he needed. Also, His groveling was more than just a single apology or brief grande gesture. Given that “show versus tell” was an ongoing theme, I loved how he ultimately won Zarah back and make it count for so many people besides the two of them.

I read a lot of reviews that were negative about this book but I loved it. I’ve just finished reading a heavy book series so this is exactly what I needed to keep me out of a slump. It kept me smiling from start to finish. Can’t wait to read more of this series

I loved this book so much. Although it was grumpy x sunshine it was able to have both characters be more developed and multidimensional instead of just being a ball of literal sunshine and a man who hates everything. They felt like real people who have had hard lives and are just trying their best however they know how. Zahra is suffering with depression which makes her seem more value in the world and uses that to make other’s lives better. Rowan deals with his own feelings of inadequacy by being the man he should be, in his fathers eyes, while not caring about the repercussions. He does end up learning that there are people who are effected by these actions and in a way uses that to help him overcome his need to please his father. He finds that he is able to make change to become the man he and those who care about him want him to be. 
I did love that there was a plot to this book, since a lot of the books I read are more character centered than plot. This allowed me to take a break while not taking a break, since this did a great job of mixing both plot driven narrative and character driven narrative. I have little to no issues with the book itself but rather I had to really put my leftist brain to rest while reading this because in this world it is very UNLIKELY that a BILLIONARE will sacrifice their profits to benefits those who work for them. But once I was able to get past that I was able to enjoy their love story. I absolutely love the way that Asher incorporates disabilities and mental health issues into her book. I recently tried to read another book that just so happened to have a character with Down Syndrome and that portrayal was absolutely infuriating. That portrayal was absolutely only for diversity for the sake of diversity where as Asher does it great in incorporating Ani as a person first. 
I was also reading this knowing that I will be leaving for Disney (for the first time in 13 years) in a couple weeks!! Disney trip on the horizon made this book so much more fun to read IMO. 
I have started Terms and Conditions which will be the first marriage of convenience that I will have read, but knowing that Asher’s writing is something I love will help ease me into the story. I am aiming to finish T&C before Final Offer is release to the public so wish me luck!! 
Tropes: Grumpy x Sunshine, Forbidden Romance (Boss/Employee), Workplace Romance

The perfect grumpy/sunshine pairing.
Zarah is the embodiment of a ray of sunshine despite her past heartbreak and struggles of the past. Rowan is a grumpy billionaire with complex feelings of his own he hast to overcome and Zarahs the one to help him along the way.

While the romance was enjoyable the book was really made for me with the introduction of Ani (Zarahs autistic sister) I found her absolutely hilarious and loved her menacing ways. Her relationship with Rowan and seeing the progression of his character growth by spending time with her really turned this book around for me where I felt it was beginning to fall a little flat.

I loved this workplace knock-off Disneyland style of romance. Definitely a feel good book with just enough heartbreak and miscommunication to make it Interesting. The perfect start to this series and left me wanting more of the Kane brothers!

Initial Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars (subject to review at the end of the year)

Spice Rating: 🌶🌶🌶 2.5/3 spice 

Favourite Quotes:
“Zahra’s it for me. I know it with everything in me, and my intuition has never been wrong before. There’s nothing in the world I’ll find more beautiful than her. Not the sun. Not the moon. Not even the entire galaxy compares to the light she radiates wherever she goes.”

“I’ll never stop being greedy when it comes to Zahra. She will always be the exception to any rule and the one person I’m willing to screw the world over for. Because if she’s not happy, I’ll ruin whatever stole her smile, myself included.”

“You better have a massive dick to back up that attitude or else people will be mighty disappointed.”

“Kissing Zahra is like reaching Heaven after an eternity spent in purgatory. Like I’ve spent most of my life hopelessly ambling around, waiting for her to show me the way back to the light. She’s divine with enough wickedness to make a sinner like me want to pray in devotion.”

Would I read again? Yes

Would I recommend? Yes
