absolutely loved this!!! only reason i didn’t rate it 5 stars is because i feel like the side characters could have been a teensy bit more developed. i adore caroline and elia, and i’m so happy that they’re happy together even if their relationship was far from conventional at first. my favourite spicy scene from this was the one with the pew pew involved (iykyk).

This book was okay, but I was struggling to connect with the characters most of the time. Caroline was getting on my nerves with how she went about her revenge.
Also, there is discussion on how they’re gonna get married, which seems like a done deal. Both parties knew what they were getting into.
Yet, after they’re married she doesn’t seem like she wanted it all and seems like she’s trying to get out of the marriage. That SHE agreed to without her parents, so it’s not an arranged marriage.
Also, it was so frustrating that both of the characters were in the last with each other, but when ever they were in the heat of the moment, Caroline was back away and not for good reasons.
I don’t know to me, I just feel very unsatisfied with the overall plot. I felt like I was chasing certain plots that wasn’t the actual plot of the story, if you get what I mean.
I guess my overall summary would be frustrating, and certain scenes not making sense once everything is revealed.
