4.0

Arranged marriage trope.

When two broken souls meet.

The first 10% was a bit slow but the moment I finished it, I wished there was more of Nino and Kiara.

There are terms that I wish were used differently.

The one thing I don’t like about this book is how they are degrading women and shaming women… it’s a big ick.

I wasn’t expecting to like Nino and see him understand Kiara, respecting and communicating about their boundaries and such… is nouvelle.

Funnily, seeing Nino being all softy towards Kiara was kinda weird since he was known as a ruthless and heartless man ( doesn’t mean I don’t like it).

The way he always feels her pulse on her wrist to know what Kiara was feeling: nervous; scared; prettified; happy, et cetera.

"You are too beautiful to lurk in the

shadows."

The angst tho: whenever Nino tells kisra that he can stimulate affection/ tenderness/love… something the pains her and doesn’t want to see it:

“Could you love someone who didn't have

emotions?

Someone who analyzed love as if it were a mathematical problem?

It wasn't a question that needed answering.

I knew the answer.

I loved Nino, even if he could never love me

back.”

But at the end they do have their HEA. Wished there was a epilogue;

"Before you, there was calm. There

was order and logic."

"And now?"

"Now…. Twisted. Nowthere's chaos"

;

"I do, with my fucking dead heart. With every fucking fiber of my being.”

"I love you. For real. No simulated affection or love ever again, because with you, I don't need to simulate. You dragged that dead part of me out of the past and revived it. I didn't die fifteen years ago, but I didn't live either...

until you."
