Super fun book, both sides of the romance were believable and likeable, with both having their own flaws they manage. Starts off kinda slow but picks up quickly after the first few chapters. Read this in one sitting.
I read this in one sitting, I could not put it down. Will definitely continue the series! I like how the next in the series moves on from the couple in this book and doesn't just stay with them, and we can see the couple that the next book is about meet in this book.

It’s nothing new, but sometimes the same old is refreshing. You know what’s going to happen, you know they eventually run off into the sunset. What makes Ana Huang’s tales so different is the examination of family structures within Asian cultures. The examination is not in depth and does not take away from the plot, but it acts as a starting point for reflective ideas and further learning.

I really, really enjoyed this book. I didn't give it 5⭐, because I feel like the special something isn't really there. Overall, really liked it, would read again.

I really enjoyed this! I liked the Twisted series and was intrigued by mentions of these characters in the books and was excited to finally read Dante’s and Viv’s story! Enemies to lovers type of situation with an arranged marriage, a bit of groveling.
I really like interconnected standalones and seeing the side characters become the main characters in future books. I’ll be reading the next!
