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

Super easy read with a solid second chance romance story. Ana Huang's writing has come a long way since the Twisted series. The story progressed perfectly without much, if any, use of filler. Tooke me a day and a half to read.

I was super hesitant to start this because I didn't really vibe with the Twisted series (sorry!) but one of my friends *loves* Ana Huang so I decided to give her another chance.

This was slow at first and I wasn't really invested but once their relationship got more real, I was all in. Grumpy hero who's only soft for the heroine 🥹 it just never gets old.

The break-in aftermath 😭😭😭 that's when I was sold not only on this book but on Dante!!!! what a man. what a rude bitch but also what a man. truly. have i told you that anthony bridgerton is my favourite bridgerton.

I was soo scared of the third-act drama but Dante's groveling was *chef's kiss* They somehow just got cuter after their drama 🥰

Excited to read book 2 but especially excited for Dominic and his wife's story!

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!!!

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 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
