The book was cute there were times that I would giggle to myself over Rowan and I would tell myself to calm down that he isn’t real. His love for Zahra was cute until he became a dick and said horrible things to Zahra while she was in the HOSPITAL and RECOVERING from pneumonia. If that didn’t happen I would’ve given this book a five stars but it’s whatever. And people hate on Zahra but she’s a lot like me personality wise (not the whole positivity thing just the whole “don’t think about his dick” and liking historical romance) but I did find her annoying some times. And the best character of all were Cal and Ani I don’t care what anyone says. As a fellow middle child I love Cal and I can’t wait to read his story. And Ani was just so lovable I just wanted to hug her and when she protected her sister after Rowan broke her heart made me proud of her.

The sex scenes made me blush and crack a smile almost caused me to jump and run around my room when he told Zahra to say that she was his. But this book has A LOT of dick jokes or mentions of dicks.

I literally sat and read this in like 12 hours. I completely fell in love with the story and the characters. Granted Rowan is a teensy bit on the manipulative side, and I don't excuse his actions at times but his history is enough to understand why he is that way. And praise to the author for writing Zahra as someone who knows her worth.

I am not usually someone who reads contempory romance, but I fell in love with this book and will happily read more as a result.

This was an interesting read, I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. 
The writing was as I expected from this genre & the s*x scenes were steamy & a little cringe, I actually skipped a couple of pages as they were just too much! I know she says she likes his dominance in the bedroom but I found it too much!! 
The ending was cute and expected!

🇳🇱: Damn dit boek heeft mij gebroken.... ik zat helemaal in het verhaal en had hem zo uit. Ik was helemaal invested in het liefdes verhaal en werd zelf geirriteerd van de acties van Rowan. Ik heb tijdens dit boek echt af en toe een traantje gelaten! Ik ben ook echt door het boek gevlogen! Dit boek is zo makkelijk geschreven dat je niet eens doorhebt dat je al zoveel bladzijdes gelezen hebt. Ik kan echt niet wachten om in deel twee te beginnen.

🇬🇧: Damn this book broke me. I was totally invested in the story and I finnished it in no-time. I was also totally invested in love stories and I was irritated at Rowans actions sometimes. I even cried during this book.. it is so easily written that you don't notice that you already read a lot of pages! I can't wait to start in part two

I can excuse murder but I draw the line at exploiting minimum wage employees.
