So so so good!! J. Saman is back and I'm so ready to devour every book of this series 😍
I loved how job-focused this was — Aurelia (what a weird name) is really invested in growing in the fashion world, making her own name and Zax (even weirder name) supports her through it all. Absolutely loved these two! Their relationship progressed so naturally and I could really believe every part of it!
So, normally I love Saman because we *don't* have the third-act-breakup/drama (or if it's the latter, it's Drama™ and someone almost dies <3 love that) but even if we did get a third-act drama here, it was handled so well. They really acted like adults through it all (damn, we've got low standards 😭) and I could feel for both of them :( I don't think what Aurelia did was as bad as she made it out to be but that's the only thing I don't agree with.
This was absolutely adorable at times, beautifully spicy at others AND had a well rounded plot!! Everything I want in a romance and more 🥰
