I love them! They really brought out the best in eachother to help them learn how to love. The 70% mark had me crying (as most of my faves do).

I alternated between kindle and audiobook, and I do has to say, the audiobook kinda sucked… I found the female narrator almost too formal: she wasn’t using it, but it had the same vibe of that 50s TV performance tone if that makes sense. Also her voice for him made him sound like an elderly black man in a dramatic movie, not a ceo in his 30s. That being said I was mostly able to ignore that.

I enjoyed this book so much more than the first one. I love the dynamic between Iris and Declan and although they may be toxic at times, I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. I love that Iris is the only one that can talk back to Declan and have him not retaliate. It shows that he cared about her long before their initial marriage contract.

One thing I loved about this book over the first one was that there was only one break up rather than the two that was in Rowan and Zahra's book. I think the two breaks ups in the fine print was a bit excessive, so it was nice to only get one "breakup" between Declan and Iris.

This book is also way faster paced than the previous one, which I was quite happy about. I found I didn't need to take at many breaks reading this book at I did with The Fine Print.

So overall, I highly enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend. I'm excited to get into Cal's book.

Enjoyable book with enjoyable characters. Plot was a little too much of a rollercoaster for me.

If someone did to me what Declan did to Iris in the third-act breakup I’d act the same way as Iris did but it also occurs to me that there’s no one on Declan’s side. Rowan is only sort of, and Cal does everything for Iris’s sake. Iris is the one backing away from his advances the whole time, and she doesn’t say she loves him until the very end. I think it would’ve been nice to see someone on Declan’s side for his sake. Also, based on the way Declan was acting and how he had reformed up until then, it seems a little out of character for him to have acted the way he did at Dreamland. It would’ve made more sense if there had to be a third-act breakup for Iris to be the reason.

I love this book. I think about this book constantly. Declan’s realization that he is in love with Iris and him doing EVERYTHING to get her despite them already being married. Magnificent. Beautiful. He gave Iris a house WITH a greenhouse all because she loves plants. He took care of a succulent Iris GAVE TO HIM all because it was his first gift. He changed is company font all so she can be able to read the documents all due to her dyslexia. The one thing I didn’t like was him sabotaging Iris’s future all cause he didn’t want her to leave him. Execution wasn’t good but reasoning was cute. I didn’t like the fact that Iris ran away and didn’t want to talk to Declan after what happened with Dreamland Japan but I did love seeing Declan try to get her to talk to him even locking his brother, Cal, out. The third act breakup was done better in this book compared to the first one cause Rowan was being an ass and with this one it makes sense why she felt sad from how Declan blamed her for his father butchering their plans with Mr. Tanaka but when he showed the house and the dog he bought for her, I forgave him.

The sex scenes were blush worthy. The things Declan said and did made me double check my door in case anyone walked in. Declan seemed more into it compared to Rowan. To me it felt like Rowan did it with Zahra only because they had sexual tension while Declan also had tension with Iris it wasn’t out of horny-ness but out of need to be with her if that makes sense and I love that.

I would recommend this one over the first one if it weren’t for the fact that you need to read Rowan’s story to be able to understand the will of Brandy and the backstories were explained in more detail in that book. But I loved this one more. Now onto Callahan’s story.
