I needed a break in my dark romance days and this has been the perfect book for it. It is light compared to other books I have read but that does not mean that I have enjoyed it less. It's funny and more than once I've seen phrases that I use in Rowan. I can't wait to read his siblings' stories!

At times it was a bit slow for me but overall a cute story.

classic grumpy/sunshine, easy read, predictable but cute, MMC is a controlling billionaire so there’s that 

The Fine Print completely swept me away! I’d heard all the hype around Lauren Asher’s Dreamland Billionaires series, and I can honestly say this book lived up to every bit of it. It had everything I crave in a contemporary romance: sizzling chemistry, emotional depth, laugh-out-loud banter, and that perfect mix of fairytale vibes with real-world struggles. I devoured it in just a couple of sittings because I simply couldn’t put it down.

The setup was brilliant. A grumpy, no-nonsense billionaire tasked with running a theme park empire and a sunshine-y creative who refuses to dim her light? Yes, please. The workplace tension combined with the enemies-to-lovers vibe created sparks on every page. Their relationship had me hooked from the moment they met—every clash, every misunderstanding, every secret smile had me grinning, swooning, and sometimes wanting to shake them both.

Rowan was such a fascinating hero. On the surface he’s broody, cold, and demanding, but the more layers you peel back, the more you see his vulnerability and the pain he carries. Watching him slowly soften and let someone in was so rewarding. Zahra, on the other hand, completely stole my heart. She’s creative, passionate, and unwilling to be silenced, and I loved how her positivity wasn’t naïve—it was powerful. She challenged Rowan, and she made everyone around her better.

The romance between them was perfection. It was angsty, full of tension, and oh-so-steamy, but what made it stand out was the emotional connection underneath. They balanced each other beautifully, and their growth as individuals made their love story feel earned. The slow burn was delicious, and when the payoff came? Totally worth the wait.

Another highlight was the world of Dreamland itself. The theme park setting added such a magical backdrop to the story, almost like its own character. The whimsical contrast of fairytales and rollercoasters against Rowan’s gruffness and Zahra’s determination made for such a unique vibe. It’s not every day you get a romance that feels like Disney magic meets billionaire drama, but Lauren Asher nailed it.

I honestly don’t have many critiques. If I had to nitpick, there were a few moments where the angst dragged a bit long, but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment at all. By the time I reached the ending, my heart was full, my cheeks hurt from smiling, and I was already itching to grab book two.

The Fine Print is everything I want in a romance: addictive, emotional, steamy, and full of heart. Lauren Asher has created characters you’ll root for, a romance that makes you believe in second chances and magic, and a series that I can already tell will be a favorite. Five shining stars—I’m officially obsessed!

 🏰 This book was such a fun ride (*pun very much intended*)! 🎢

The story swept me along. It wasn´t mind-blowing or unique in its kind, but definitely sweet and entertaining, with some well-balanced (and toe-curling) spice. Perfect for when you want a light and engaging read 💙

🎧  Pro tip for my audiobook people: your car is NOT soundproof...so don´t make the same mistake I did and maybe lower the volume during the steamy scenes when stuck in a traffic jam 😅🎶
