This book is the second in the Dreamland billionaires book and I absolutely adored this book. 
First of all IRIS is such a boss lady. Iris is so strong and sassy and has so much determination to succeed in her career but to also live a happy personal life it is admirable. I’ve never read a female character just like Iris. Even during the third act break up in most rom coms I want the couple to get back together, which I did in this book but i was also like “Go Iris” “You make him feel bad for what he did” Iris is undoubtedly one of my favourite characters in a book ever. I also like the fact that Iris was a poc I definitely feel very strongly with how there needs to be more diversity in any type of rom-coms.
I also love cal, the way he supported and cared for Iris! I need a best friend like cal!! I’m so excited for his book I just want Cal to be happy and have his happily ever after!!! 
I also love Iris’s mom she was so cute and gave the best advice!! 
DECLAN at times pissed me of but I love him, he is one of my top 5 book boyfriends, he was grumpy and sarcastic but that’s my favourite type of man, at times I was screaming at him but I still love that man. 

I preferred the plot of this book over the fine print, the idea of a marriage contract seemed so fun and exciting that it stands out from other cutesy romances. I also liked how as a reader we know that they both are romantically attracted to each other early in the book and I loved how Declan would go out of his comfort zone to do anything to make Iris happy!! OMG THE SECRET LANGUAGE WAS SO CUTE!!! Omg I literally would tear up when they spoke the language. And I loved how as someone who just speaks English it was fun for me to also learn new words in different languages. 
Omg and I loved how there were snippets of the Formula one series Lauren Asher writes about in the Dirty air series!! I literally love that series so it was so cool and fun to see both series blend together. However I had not read Santi book yet and I did feel like there was some spoilers for Santi book. But I haven’t the read book to know if they actually are or if what was mentioned you find out in like the first chapter of Santi book. 
The book was a little slow at some points but I still was so invested in the book throughout. 

I definitely recommend this book and series to everyone who enjoys cute romances but not the typical romance. I literally can not was the third book in the series but in the mean time I will definitely be finishing the dirty air series!!
