I hated Rowan so much. He doesn’t treat employees as people. Zahra apologies when her family mentions that they can’t afford vacations because of him which made me really dislike her judgement. Him changing was solely for the selfish desire to have Zahra, not for actual growth. Did not like this one.

The best way to go into this book, in my opinion at least, is to go in not expecting much. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good things about this book and I particularly like the disability representation which is sorely under-represented in the literary field. However, I believe it is best read as a fun, raunchy at times, quick romance read. It is neither a literary masterpiece nor a absolute car crash and is a great read for inbetween 'heavier', more intense reads. I certainly enjoyed it (for the most part, I found it dragged a little towards the end) and am looking forward to continuing to the triology.

this one was a great amount of spice and emotions.
it was hard to read for a while because of the very obvious Disney vibes but i started to be able to ignore it and power through
definitely want to continue with the series and find out more about the Kane brothers

I enjoyed this but it was very middle of the road. The spice scenes were a little different than what I’ve read before and the premise of him being a billionaire because he’s theme park royalty was a nice changed of pace, but basically everything else with the story and traits of the main characters and tropes were very similar to those of billionaire romances I’ve read before. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though! This book did that trope well, it just wasn’t ground breaking. I did appreciate the side characters with disabilities and that the fmc is a poc! A nice story and I will probably read the rest of the series once the audio books are released!

I loved this book, Zahra is fantastic. Rowan has moments that frustrate me so much but you can't help but like him.
