Super cute, paasionate, and full of love šŸ©µ

ā€œJust knowing you existed somewhere in this world was enough.ā€

 I loved Kai and Isabella! I felt their love was so genuine and beautiful. I like that the forbidden aspect of their relationship leads to them having a genuine dating experience. We got to see them fall for one another in the most realistic way possible. Their chemistry šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø! I loved that Kai stood up for Isabella! He is such a man for that šŸ„¹. Iā€™ve read other popular books (I wonā€™t name namesā€¦ iykyk) that the ML fumbles/hurts the FL because the family opposes or thinks differently! Itā€™s such a pet peeve for me when that happens because usually it's never followed up by proper character development. We all need a Kai in our lives šŸ©µ. In the beginning, I did not think that I was going to love him as much as I did. He knows what he wants, knows how to actively listen, is a man of honor, cherishes and respects women, and loves hard!

I loved Isabellaā€™s character and I could relate to her in a lot of ways. I loved that she was unashamedly herself and didnā€™t change for anyone. Her struggles were real and her determination was admirable. Iā€™m happy that things worked out for her even if it seemed hopeless up until the very end. I loved thatā€¦
Kai lost and that Isabella didnā€™t finish in time! Even tho Kai did eventually get the position he seriously deserved it. He didnā€™t stoop low to win and his reaction throughout the entire ordeal was honest and honorable; Isabella not finishing the book when her brother gave her the deadline and going through the emotions, made her grow into a better version of herself. Both of them had great development.
I liked this book a lot! I didnā€™t have anything bad to say about it. It was a Soild read.
