Dallas started to really annoy me over time. For a character described as witty and strong they really did her no justice in terms of her characterisation.

Quick and enjoyable romance with decent backstory and development for the characters. Writing could use some light editing as there was a bit of repetition. Enjoyable & emotional.

Dallas just wants a little fling before she marries the man her father has arranged for her. Romeo seems to want the same thing with her & he’s hot as hell, what could go wrong?

Dark Romance, Marriage of Convenience, Hate to Love, 3 1/2 🔥

“If you had to change yourself to be accepted, you didn’t need that person in your life in the first place. Because it wasn’t you they wanted to be with. It was their version of you.”
