Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• Does have mild OW drama
- Strippers at the Hero's Club are rude to the Heroine and try to make her doubt the Hero, but the Hero very quickly shuts them down and threatens them.
- BTW the Hero never slept with any of the women in his employ (sad that this needs to be mentioned at all)
• No OM drama
• No pushing away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Gun violence
• Murder
• Torture recounted (of side character)
• PTSD
• Sex trafficking
• Emotional abuse
• Domestic violence (Heroine abused by her brothers)
• Sexual assault
• Virgin Heroine


Ending:
HEA for the couple (married + about to be pregnant); cliffhanger for the plot (we found the sister!)

The main story seems to be interesting but the “insta love” between the main characters is absolutely not reliable (virgin and locked in a house for 20 years vs a literal manwhore…). And he tells her he loves her 2 days after the arranged marriage.
WTF.

even the spice scene are full of clichés and also absolutely not realistic.
