This book is a little corny at times, but has a good overall plot. I like that the plot is centered around something different and it's refreshing not to have a basic romance book setting.

This was a very cute grumpy/sunshine romance book perfect for anyone who loves Dreamland *cough* Disney *cough* and a little spice. (3/5 spiciness) I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Awful. How did this go viral?  

👎🏻. Nope.  Please do not read this!!!! 

 I only finished because of a buddy read. I didn’t want to let down my friend. 

It is really poorly written for a published book. A mountain of m cliches and tropes are used and rolled out. The sex scenes aren’t engaging or appealing. The possessiveness is ick. And the dialogue is a dumping ground for neat statements. As if the characters romance has given the angry MMC the cliff notes of if he’d used  professional psychotherapy to understand his feelings fears and needs.

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>
