Standalone
Tropes/Plot details:
- MMC buying expensive thing to FMC
- Height difference (FMC is 5ft)
- Age Gap (FMC is 24, MMC is 35)
- 3rd act breakup
- Pregnancy at the ending
Steam: All the "smutty" scenes lasted less than a page.
I read this bc of an insta post that said sth like:
"When he orders his man to sit down when she enters a room bc it made her nervous/bc of trauma"
It was a scam, it was mentioned only once and it lasted a paragraph.
My opinion:
If not for the stupid 3rd act divorce I would even have said I liked this.
Overall: it was bad but I've read worse.
Also even with HEA their relationship probably wouldn't last long, by the end of the year they'll be divorced again lol

I can appreciate the disability rep as Roman shattered one knee and his frustrations & insecurities with adapting could be felt. And gratefully it's not a story where he is miraculously healed by the end.
Uch guys. Roman was head over heels. The marriage of convenience sizzled with the best yearning chemistry and there were many "My Wife" moments and his subtle way of making sure he doesn't trigger her PTSD following a toxic past relationship? Nina acknowledging his discreet changes? Challenging him and keeping him on his toes? They were made for each other.
The story itself otherwise doesn't hold much plot. At times it felt choppy and way too fast, and others it felt fillery. But it was enough to keep reading as I'm curious about the other characters - especially wanting to know Sergei's story.

No imagery, so descriptive narrative. Not spicy. 1/5 spice.
While duel first person perspective, you don't get any emotional insight into the character unless they say "I'm angry" or "im sad". It's all tell, no show.
I read this because TikTok mentioned
That's one example, but the whole book is written that way. I am to believe she is a phenomenal artist, but the author describes her work in colors and items.
A man with megaphone head. Mostly grayscale.
That tells me nothing! What is the flow? Use words with different connotations! Does the shadows cast across the subjects face, obscuring the lift of his smile? Does the run radiate through the air and toss dancing sparkles through the ocean waves?
The author did not paint a single scene in that book.
That's before the red flags in the relationships and the
