Not a strong start to this series, as the plot felt forced and the characters felt stilted and were frankly annoying.
Especially Cam, whose personality seemed to have been completely altered from his first introduction.

After reading Devil in Winter, I really wanted to read Cam's story. I just love the character.

The Hathaway family is just a mess. It felt a bit over the top to me. One sibling is a kleptomaniac, another self-destructive and suicidal, another struggling with chronic illness. It was just a bit much for me.

I found Amelia herself to be annoying. I still don't understand her reluctance to marry Cam. It didn't make sense to me.

I'm not comfortable with the racism in the book either. It just felt off. Devil in Winter didn't have the same feel.

Tropes:

uptight heroine/super chill hero
major opposites attract
hero pursues heroine hardcore (heroine is the one with trust/commitment issues)
kind of marriage of convenience
self-made man
rich hero
strong family component
pretty secluded (not really any parties or the ton in the book)

spoilers
I just have to mention how much I loved how Cam was with Amelia. Their dynamic was so interesting and requires a lot of trust. I loved seeing how she let him take control when she's a control freak and he was always so gentle with her. They had banter but he was very good at allowing her to be in control while also taking control from her if that makes sense. You could just tell she was comfortable around him emotionally and he never took advantage of that once and I loved it. I also have commitment issues like Amelia and like my independence but Cam pursued her relentlessly. I loved it. I'm also dying to get my hands on Merripen and Win's book because I just know Merripen will bring all the angst and Win reminds me of Jane Bennett from Pride and Prejudice through how kind-hearted she is. I love their relationship already.
