For everyone who likes strong, possessive love interests: this book might just be for you. However, be aware that the plot isn’t so big and the focus is also mainly on the interactions between the ‘couple’. 
It’s kind of cute and all, but that’s about it. 

I don’t know if this might be helpful: I kind of had to motivate myself going through the last third of the book. (It’s kind of longer than necessary.)

Personally I’m more into romance books with a bigger plot. 
So maybe read this when you want something less challenging for in between other books.

Another hit with this book.  Not usually my type of read but I found myself loving the characters and invested in the plot.  I was not expecting there to be as much drama in this book as there was but the plot twists of murder and family secrets tied into the spice and romance somehow really well.

Okay... this series has had my attention and been on my TBR for too long so I finally got around to book one and wow! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I know so many of these romances are essentially carbon copies of each other and I could not care any less. They are feel good, entertaining, and when they are spicy they really got me hooked! There is also something so hot about a Businessman/billinoiare trope. I think the only thing I like more about these types of romances is the fact that the authors know to make them series. I already know who the next 3 books are going to follow and I’m pumped! I really liked this one but it wasn’t my favorite simply cause I wasn’t fully obsessed with Alex or Ava. I liked them but I wasn’t as attached as I normally get in these storylines. I do, however, have high hopes for the rest of this series.

Preparation for the AMOUNT of plot-twists in this book. As an beginner reader, this book was so appalling yet fluttering at the same time. Lots of violence which led to tears, but totally worth to read.

Overall, I ended up liking the book a ton. Although it had some great aspects to it, like the murder-mystery plot, I still feel like it's gonna be my least favorite out of the four books. Besides that, I loved the ending and the angst was well written, even though I really wasn't vibing with the grumpy x sunshine trope.

I don’t think I am the target audience for this book. Hate Alex and the whole love story. He’s a possessive creep.
