I wasn't inclined to review as it's not really written for me, but I do think there's a reason these books are popular and it does what it sets out to achieve. (I say this because possessiveness, unbalanced power dynamics... aren't my thing and being quick to forget problematic behaviours because of the lusting makes me uncomfortable). I enjoyed the couple much much more than the first book,
I'd say in general the character work is better in this book and Cal's presence tempts me to try and find the last book in another charity shop for potential future book slumps.
I was looking for a quick and easy read to get me out of a reading slump and that I got! I'd recommend it to folk looking for another standard het romance :)

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.

Whenever I return to Iris and Declan's love story, something broken heals inside me. I'm humbled by the growth we see in both characters, their devotion to each other at each stage of their relationship, and the space they create to support, challenge, and wait for each other.
- grumpy x sunshine
- he's all-in and she's commitment-phobic
- plants, plants, plants + dog
- raw, honest internal growth + consistent effort to make amends
- marriage of convenience + fake dating + office romance
- CAL! Oh how I love Cal in this book
It's a masterpiece -- everything you want in a sweeping romance.
Better and better every time I read it.
Run, don't walk. You won't be disappointed (but definitely read The Fine Print first for the best experience!).
