ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ilovedit!!!!!! classic grumpyxsunshine trope. plot was def a little random and weird and confusing at times but im not here for that lol, all i care about is romance and this book captured romantic moments sooo well. not only that but she writes high emotions so well, i could def feel frustration, passion, and love (and lust) etc. in many of the scenes. vivian's my girl and love her down, nobody can say she not one loyal ass bitch. once she down for you shes deowwwwnnnn like town, ok? loved her confidence arc of not letting other ppl run her life for her, even if they were important to her. s/o to the besties isa and sloane and seester agnes, they all held it down for my girl. i grew to like dante through the book which i wasn't sure i would tbh. he was a little too grumpy for me at first and i was not a fan lol but once he started falling for her? when he realised he was falling for her? when he accepted he fell for her? yeah, thats my jam, TURNITUPPPPP!!!! ilove a mean, tight ass, overly obnoxious dick who has one lil soft spot for his girl lol. overall it was so good and all that i ask for in a romance. humor, love, smut, thats pretty much it lmao i give it a solid 4 stars. im not sure id read it again but i did enjoy it for what it is. it was worth the time it took to read but i think thats all it deserves lol (maybe id reread the smut...).

Ok I really liked this book. In my opinion Ana Huang can do no wrong so I will probably like all her books. I don't LOVE this one but I really did like it. The marriage of convenience trope is one of my favorite tropes so that just had me hooked before even reading it. Let's start with the characters. Vivian is just such a good FMC. Now, don't get me wrong, it took me a little bit for me to like it, I would say 35-40% into the book is when I started liking her but by the end of the book I loved her. You can truly see her growth throughout the book but you just have to get to her actual back story and then it's easier to understand her and like her. She has this thing when she is trying so hard to be the perfect daughter but that consists of her faking her personality and she is so done with that and she just wants to be herself but that's not possible because that's not her "perfect" side. She was really against changing herself because she has it engrained in her brain that she has to be perfect so it is really hard for her to stand up for herself and be able to be just her and see that she is worth of love and attention. When she does come to the realization that she is worth love, attention and that she is able to be her true self without the unbelievable expectations put on her it's just beautiful to see. Also, I loved that she didn't give in to Dante immediately was amazing and very refreshing, especially with the arranged marriage trope. Dante! I really liked him, I think it was easier for me to like Dante at the beginning than Vivian. I loved his whole thing of "I won't ever get actually get married or fall in love" and then he just falls so head over heels in love for Vivian that it's just so fun. He is a mysterious, dark, icy man but when he has Vivian around he just turns into a loving man. He fought for Vivian when she wasn't even doing it for herself and I think that's one of the reasons why I love him. He became a better man because of Vivian and his evolution is fantastic to read. Also! This man is POSSESSIVE, the whole

"You" thrust "are" thrust "my" thrust "wife"

thing was so good. Their relationship was also so cute, their support for each other, the spice, the groveling, the rawness of the relationship, their chemistry, the denial and then the giving in to each other. Love this and will definitely be reading again at some point like every other Ana Huang book.

AAAAA! Ana you nasty girl! Ok this was amaze balls. I adore Dante and Vivian and their chemistry is amazing. Dante is the CRO of one of the largest companies in the world and Vivian is the heiress to a jewelry conglomerate. When Vivians father blackmails Dante into an arranged marriage, he uses all his resources to destroy the evidence while maintaining public apparences with Vivian. The relationship felt very raw and real between the disastrous meeting and very cold discussions for months. They graduate into something more electric and it's so fun to read! My only complaint is that I feel like the characters are kinda stagnant? Like Vivian and Dante both grow and change but they don't feel much different? For some reason that bothers me. Otherwise is amazing!!!

This book felt like if twisted lies and love had a baby, it would be 'King of Wrath.' Twisted love gives the 'I'm only using you to get at your family member' vibe, coupled with twisted lies and a complex family trope. The book stands out on its own with the arranged marriage trope. Vivian feels like Stella and Ava rolled into one character, while Dante feels like another version of Alex and Christian.

Obsessed with anything Ana writes. Incredible. I loved this book, she wrote the enemies to lovers and forced proximity so well. I genuinely love a book where the female character develops so much in her confidence and becomes strong enough to fight for herself and speak her truth, it inspires me so much. Dante, I’m obsessed🤤

limo scene, I’ve said enough. There is just something about the way he fell for her, she consumed him in the end and he was possessive over her, which I love in a romance.

Another 5 star read from Ana Huang🫶🏻 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spice level 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
