- love sunshine Zahra
- superiority complex.. not for me
- el plot de mentides m'estressa
per sort acaba "aviat" - cute la versió soft d'en Rowan
- fan del banter
- representació del síndrome Down molt ben feta. Amb un gran personatge rodó amb importància al plot i ben desenvolupat, cosa poc comuna en molts llibres de ficció

Zahra, an average gal just trying to overcome the betrayal she faced with her ex.
"I gave up the person I was for a man who couldn't handle the woman I was meant to be." -Zahra
Sparks fly between Rowan and Zahra and neither of them can understand or explain why.
"He's the Devil, Zahra. Well, that explains why Eve fell for his tricks. If the devil looked half as good as Rowan, I'd eat the damn apple too. Screw the consequences." -Zahra
Rowan is determined to get his task done that his grandfather left him to do after passing. At what cost though? As it turns out being a billionaire isn't always as awesome as it sounds... Ridiculously Awesome that is.
"The list is endless with one universal lesson: Trust no one." -Rowan
Zahra however, is a breath of fresh air. A creative. A free spirit. She goes above and beyond. She will be the way Rowan accomplishes his goals. Hell, she was already working with his grandfather before he passed.
"I officially need to find out what kind of woodland fairies raised this woman because there's no way she's a product of the real world." -Rowan
Rowan realizes that he can't be himself with Zahra. Well, more like he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to be the same guy he was before they met.
"Because to love someone else means to trust them enough to not abuse the power they have over you." -Rowan

This is your typical grumpy-sunshine, I-love-my-boss kind of book. It's nothing too exciting, but leaves you wanting for more.
The main characters are Rowan and Zahra. Rowan is your typical alluring, brooding, mysteriously silent boss, while Zahra is a ray of sunshine. Don't worry though, she has a backbone and knows her worth.
Zahra's personality is so inspiring, the way she knows her worth and when to put her foot down is admirable. She has a strong personality and is so selfless it hurts. Treating everyone with the utmost respect, she is the kind of female main character we've all needed.
I also loved Claire, Zahra's best friend, and Ani, Zahra's sister, and the support they have for Zahra and the amount of care for her wellbeing.
Rowan was alright, but I kind of think that his personality is too cliché. He makes mistakes, but he makes up for them and Zahra makes him grovel. A little. Because Rowan understands his actions and faults, he finds a way to make up for them in thoughtful ways.
All in all, I did like this book, but for me it was just lacking (if you know what I mean). I didn't get the excited tingles I feel when I really love a book, and it is kind of like all the other books that are currently trending. You don't need a Rowan, just go read the Twisted series and you'll have the same guy, the same outcome. This book wasn't anything special.
