Introduction
The Fine Print is the first book in the Dreamland Billionaires trilogy and is also part of my Romanceopoly reading challenge under the "Amour Avenue" challenge. This is one of the most famous books from 2022, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if this would be for me but I have no clue why. Most likely because hyped books don't normally work for me. But I can safely say that this book was incredible and I can see why so many love it and why it made the semi finals for the Goodreads Choice Awards. Its definitely well deserved. I couldn't put this down and was such a charming rom com. This isn't your traditional rom com of course, but it was utterly delightful. I couldn't get enough of it and I can't wait to explore the rest of the series.
The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Rowan
-Alpha Male
-Grumpy Hero
-Bossy
-Plans for revenge against his father
-CFO

Summary
When Rowan's grandfather passes away, he is left with a letter from his grandfather, to reconnect with his creative senses and to come up with a plan to male Dreamland better than ever and it will need to pass inspection from a secret committee. As Rowan endeavors to do what it takes so it doesn't get into his father's hands, he will then run into a bubbly cheerful woman who will change his life in ways that he can't imagine. What he doesn't expect though, is to fall hard in love with Zahra. But as Zahra and Rowan work together in their relationship and the project, their differences will clash and they both will find being in love and making a relationship work will take effort and trust....
My Outlook
I can't say enough good things about this one. I absolutely fell hard in love with this one. I can see why so many love it. I absolutely was swept up in this sexy funny romance that had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. I can't remember the last time a book had me laughing so hard. This author's talent for witty banter is profound. It takes a lot for me to laugh this author, but serious almost every paragraph it had me bursting out in laughter and it was such an experience seeing these two opposite find their way together. I was relieved that it wasn't drawn out angst either. These two are so different from each other, but loved the way in which the author developed their relationship. It definitely takes work on both sides, and a huge amount of trust and understanding. I really enjoyed how relatable their relationship felt though. Even though there was such a magical feel to their romance at the same time it felt so realistic. It had the time of miscommunication at times that was heartfelt and real, and not just to add plot to the story, but had a more genuine tone that one could easily relate to.
The grumpy sunshine factor between them was so delightful. Seeing the way that they make their personalities work was so fun. I absolutely can't wait to see what she delivers in the other installments because I am charmed from head to toe.
Overall View
The Fine Print is a novel that will help you discover a sense of wonder and magic that is Dreamland, it will invite you into a sense of family, witty dialogue to curl your toes, and leave you with a warm smile to last the day away!
