This book was so good!
I love the grumpy x sunshine trope, and the “forced marriage” sprinkled the forced proximity trope on top of it all. The appearances of Rowan and Zahra made the book ten times better, seeing as they were as happily in love as ever before. This book will make you believe in love. It has so many great sides, although I did find Declan’s attitude very frustrating at times. But this just adds to how happy I was when it all turned out great. The dual pov made it possible to see their love and grief from both perspectives, and that made the book all the quicker and easier to read. Because although not many things happen, the slow burn of them going from barely friends to getting married because they have to, makes the slow burn so much better. With almost 500 pages it still had me drooling for their love. They have their own LOVE LANGUAGE damn it!
