This was a pretty basic rom-com but still really great to unwind to. I often struggle with ice princess characters but I think the author did a good job here. The MMC was nice enough but he insisted on calling the heroine 'darling' even after she repeatedly told him she didn't want him to. Hngggg. Hated that. But still, good enemies-to-lovers and a very sweet small town.
