I LOVE THIS BOOK. It might end up being my favorite book of all time. I just happy thing about it, you could say. It gives you grumpy x sunshine, i hate everyone with you, protective, posseiv. Zahra's whole mood, enegry and vibe is to die for. When you read you can't stop your self for smiling. She is so wholesome if that is correct to say?  I dont know how to explain it. I just love her. The way she acts like a child sometimes, AWWWWWWWWW. I also cant get over how moody Rowan is. It hillarous sometimes. THe spsicy parts of the book lived to my exception after what i heard about it before reading. (this review makes no sense). This book offered me everything, EVERYTHING. Some sad moments, many many funny, cute, and quricky momments, and some unexpected scens that i loved, it gave carring and procetiv Rowan. 
This copy of the book incluedes the extende eupolg. 


After reading This book the second time, I was not a five star read for me.

2.75

Don't get me wrong on the 2.75 rating - it's giving everything what it has been advertised as, it just wasn't my cup of tea lol. We get an rich and bossy ✨emotionally unavailable man✨ and a quirky, loving sunshine woman that works for him. What more can I say? 

I actually liked the grumpy x sunshine dynamic in the end even though it's obv very cliché. The characters grew on me even though Rowan is a possessive alphahole (to quote SJM) and Zhara felt a little too not-like-other-girls from time to time. I enjoyed their story even though it was very predictable and some of the struggles seemed unreasonable (the 2nd conflict was so unnecessary). You see? It was a nice, quick read which had me cringing more often than i hoped (some really strong wattpad vibes) but was also able to force a little silly smile out of me. If i had been able to fully immerse into the story the backstories might have made me more emotional, but half of the time i couldn't take Rowan and his daddy issues seriously (even though they are obv understandable, but it just felt very stereotypical).

I really like romance novels but i catch myself being hyper aware of red flags every time i pick a book like that up which leads to me not being able to fully enjoy it. I am a huge advocate for the whole "it's not the same! no, but it's not the same!" when it comes to enjoying (romance) books which display things that are questionable. But i need the story to be written very thoughtfully so i'm emotionally invested before cringe or my red-flags-alarm kick in. Often times I wished the author would've chosen to "show, don't tell". 

So: A nice read for everyone who can shut their brain up when sth along the lines "i want to own you" or "you don't have a say in this" comes up. Or who can enjoy reading a billionaire romance without rolling their eyes at the amount of unchecked privilege and classism it displays/reproduces.

Otherwise this book got everything you want from christian-grey-like-flexing-with-wealth (v over the top dates which one can only dream of), a little bit of kind-of-forbidden romance over girl turns icy guy into a simp to tragic backstories.
