3.0
No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.
Overall: 3-stars
The Fall Bride is marketed as enemies-to-lovers romance. However, the tension between the main characters is based on the misunderstanding from their jobs: the Heroine, Valerie, owns and manages a wedding dress boutique, and the Hero, Tidas, owns a law firm, which specializes in divorces. Therefore, Valeria thinks Tidas disrespects her career and thinks he doesn't believe in marriage, so she's resistant to them getting together. Also, Valeria and Tidas flirting are them antagonizing each other.
The Fall Bride was a cute read. But Gracie and Donovan's story seems more to my tastes (I love grumpy Heroes).
Safety Rating: Safe
• No cheating
• No OM drama
• There is minor OW drama
– The Hero's assistant is in love with him and attempts to cause problems for the MCs. The Hero is not interested in her and makes sure she knows it.
• Does have the Heroine pushing the Hero away
• No separation
Possible Triggers: None
• No abuse
• No OTT sad parts
Ending:HEA with Epilogue
