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.

I really liked this book! It is about two people who work at Dreamland aka a knock off of Disney. There is a family secret involving billions of dollars at stake. I really enjoyed the fact that her sister had a disability. I think that people with disabilities aren’t mentioned enough in popular books so it came as a nice surprise, especially at the end when he proposed that Dreamlands character costumes include prosthetics, wheelchairs, and other types of disabilities.

One of the best grumpy x sunshine books I’ve read, it’s fast-paced, and I immediately fell in love with Lauren Asher’s writing.

I loved Zahra, even though she’s a bit annoying, she’s the typical sunshine-y character who’s always laughing at everything, but by halfway through I felt for her and was hoping she’d get the happy ending she deserves

Rowan is the typical grumpy billionaire he was a jerk for the majority of the book and loved seeing Zahra humble him and how he had a change of heart by the end.

I loved everything about this book except for how much it dragged on. Rowan is a commitment-phobe so despite them knowing that they’re 100% in love, they don’t “officially” get together till the end. And the third act breakup dragged on quite a bit but the rest of the book was entertaining.

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 was just an okay read for me. The Dreamland series is centered on the Kane brothers who are heirs to the Dreamland (think Disney empire) legacy. The Fine print focuses on Rowan, a bonafide grumpy billionaire with a chip on his shoulder. While working to fulfill the terms that will secure his future he’s thrust into Zahra’s orbit. Zahra a sunshine-y creative who Rowan eventually falls for. There’s a lot going on here as far as how Rowan treats Zahra, but the third act break up really solidified my general dislike of the MMC. I was definitely entertained, but overall just didn’t connect with the characters.

I can excuse murder but I draw the line at exploiting minimum wage employees.
