Wow. I put off this series for a while because I'd sort of went off billionnaire romances because I'd read too many. I regret that choice. I absolutely LOVED this book and I ATE it up.

Snarky enemies to lovers banter is always a vibe I can get down with and this had it in spades. I love a heroine who doesn't back down and calls out bs when she sees it.

I loved watching their story play out and the tension was 😘👌

Ana Huang will always be a winner, because her books aren't only good from a plot and relationship perspective, but they are so well written. I'm in the story, I'm feeling the whole setting, her characters are always fully rounded.

No notes.

3.0

It wasn't as horrible as everyone said. This is my first Anna Huang book that I didn't DNF.
I did enjoy the story, it has a slow beginning and slow end but it's was a nice, softer dark romance. (Does that make sense?)
Anyway, once Vivian and Dante were actually attempting to be a couple the banter! The jokes!! Omg loved it. Dante groveling and courting *chefs kiss*
Dark, quite brooding MMC with a quick witty fierce FMC who are both stubborn, hot, and funny when they want to be??? AAhh Sign me up 🫰🏾✨️

That being said... I do have one negative thing about the lovely Anna.
She's SUPER repetitive. There is so much telling of emotions and thoughts over and over rather than showing us or letting us infer. It could have been 50-100 pages shorter without the constant inner monologuing.
I feel like she killed her own banter with it.
The moments that didn't have monologuing I was kicking my little feet and in shocked with how these characters were just vibing

Lets see if KO Pride is better bc I will be continuing
