This was a wild ride. Honestly, I couldn't stand Roxanne the first couple of chapters, but I was so happy that Mateo gave her a hard time. She deserved being put in her place. It's not common to read about a heroine that is unlikeable, but you also want to see her do better. She has her layers, and Mateo was good at taking them apart. There were so many great parts where he was able to bring out her vulnerability so we could see her true self. Their journey to love was a battlefield, and I was so happy to see them together in the end.
The epilogue was a fitting conclusion, and I hope I get to see a cameo of them in the next books. I had no idea Freedom, Kansas was going to be mentioned in this book. I was super excited to see this small town again since I first read it in her other books After Hours on Milagro Street and Full Moon Over Freedom.
Overall, it is a great roller coaster of a romance with lots of steam and spice. Highly recommend for fans of arranged marriage/ marriage of convenience tropes and who aren't afraid of reading about unlikeable but relatable FMCs.
