I'm a sucker for arranged marriage/forced marriage tropes, so was excited for this one.

I enjoyed the characters of Nina and Roman, and was thoroughly disappointed there wasn't more.... depth to their character development  or buildup to their love. Everything moved so fast that I was unsure HOW they even fell in love.

....Also the spicy scenes were hella mid because what do you mean it only lasted a couple thrusts??
