“Your bossiness is losing its charm”
Oh brother. Ok.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this story. It’s got the “sunshine and grump” trope. It’s got betrayal, it’s got the smut which is why most people pick these sorts of books up and it’s got an interesting storyline (the reason I picked it up) the fact that this is set at a theme park in order for him to get his inheritance he has to work to build up this section of the company. Seemed like a fun back story premise.
The problem is stories like this is they are so predictable.
Guy finds girl attractive based off of her looks
Guy is rude to girl because he can’t handle basic emotions
Guy decides he is developing feelings
Guy let’s girl into dark past and she falls in love with his vulnerability
Guy and girl have sex
Guy then puts walls up again
Guy loses girl
Guy needs to win girl back with grand gesture
Guy gets girl in the end
So basically what I am saying is if you don’t like reading about 10 year old emotional maturity, 2 characters objectifying each other purely based off looks (because neither Rowan nor Zahra had a personality except for the trope grumpy and sunshine) and a whole bunch of weird fetish sex, you’ll probably lose interest half way through like me.
