This book aimed for an arranged marriage trope but the execution frustrated me to no end. I didn't believe the reasoning, I couldn't get behind the mcs' instalust and I couldn't for the life of me connect with the heroes. DNF at 20%

WHAT THE HELL. Those were the first words out of my book when I finished this book. No resolution whatsoever. I enjoyed their relationship even though the whole dynamic was pretty messed up. All the fathers in this story suck and I hated them deeply. Side note if you read this mentally prepare yourself for all the sex. It was like every other chapter at one point. I also loved the Micah character. I could probably reread this or I would read the sequel (if there even is one and if it resolves the first book)

Atticus is a man who knows how to use his words and mouth .I loved loved loved how he spoke ighhhh had my stomach spinning .Know l get that he is famous but there is really poor portion of fame .Like they had an engagement party but no paparazzi.Nothing was shown in the part of them being .Secondly the writing could have been improved to add depth
Amazing start to this series. It’s intense, has drama, it has everything you want in a book. It will completely consume you from the beginning as it takes you through some twists and turns. I loved the characters, the connection and the sizzling chemistry. It’s entertaining and can’t wait to read more.

I did not properly do my research on this series and thought it was going to be 3 interconnected standalones, imagine my rage when the "third act breakup" happened 10 pages before the end of the book... thankfully, it's a trilogy lol.
My biggest issue with this book was some of the (sometimes internalized) colorist comments and undertones in the book, which in my opinion did not add anything to the book, it would've still been fine without it.... most of us (black women) read for escapism, if you must add racism in your book you have to make sure that there's a point for it to be there, otherwise it just unnecessarily brings in negativity and ruins the experience for us.
This would've been a 4 for stars until that one character called our main

and implied Morgan was hotter because she was lighter or more "ambiguous" (assuming based on her description), you can tell at some point that even the FMC herself felt that way and that was one of the reason for her insecurities ... which quite frankly isn't what I ever want to read about. That character was despicable enough without the added racism/colorism, so once again that added nothing to the book... I even contemplated DNF'ing because at that point the book stopped feeling good for me.
On another note, who's out there looking at their newborn child and choosing to call them "Atticus"??????????
Other than that, it was a cute book.

Instant attraction becomes a complicated love story. Malone brings the fire. Takeover is an emotional tidal wave. From a scorching battle of wills to a frustrating battle of hearts, Gwen and Atticus hold nothing back. Irresistible, unpredictable, flameworthy, heartbreaker.
