Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Vacation romance meets marriage of convenience. Very high in delicious angst. Lots of spice that doesn’t really move the plot, but doesn’t distract. Heavy on corporate intrigue and family politics. Lots of complex characters who don’t get the time they deserve. MMC is great, but FMC is just okay. Quick read.
