❤️Gossip Girl Vibes
❤️Arranged Marriage
❤️Ice Queen FMC
❤️Billionaire Romance
❤️NYC Upper Class
❤️Push and Pull
Amount of spice:🔥🔥🔥🔥
Explicitness: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Level of Slow Burn: Medium Burn
This was the lacroix version of Gossip Girl, like Gossip Girl if it had nowhere near the same level of drama or murder and yet I actually still loved it. I’ll be honest I rated this one mostly based on the ✨vibes✨ because it was fun.
These two did give me major whiplash and a lot of the conflict seemed to be a little pointless but I am a sucker for an arranged marriage or marriage of convenience and I think that part was written well and I was hooked on it. I’ve seen people complaining that Scarlett has as much of a personality as a piece of lettuce but I actually think she was really sweet and just a little insecure and closed off. I won’t lie, I’ve got it kind of bad for Crew, he was so much softer and more lovable than I was expecting him to be.
It was just a really easy read with just enough drama to keep me interested and an interesting cast of characters I’d like to know more about.
I would recommend it if you love an arranged marriage trope or you want some billionaire Gossip Girl vibes.

This follows Scarlett and Crew. Apart of two powerful, rich families and are to marry for power gain. They may not know each other but want to resist each other but how long can keep it up?
I enjoyed this billionaire romance. For me, I found it not so enemies to lovers It had like elements but it was nice and refreshing that it wasn’t full on. Also, the FMC Scarlett is strong, how to be a boss and knows what she wants. Crew comes off as a playboy at the start but he is quite compassionate and caring. There is tension and butting heads but was so worth it in the end.
The only thing is I didn’t feel soul mate energy between these two and just a little more love towards Scarlett.
Other than that It was a very good read and I recommend it.

i love scarlett and crew, they can easily be placed in my top 3 CWF couples but they’re story and they’re tropes and things mentioned in it was so…lackluster tbh. a lot thing were left unmentioned and rushed but there were definitely some good scenes

I loved this contemporary marriage of convenience. It had the perfect combination of spice and commitment. I loved Crew and Scarlett so much.
