Would I have liked fewer time jumps and more swoony moments? Absolutely, but this easily held my interest the whole way through – and it’s got me excited to read more from the author. I also liked the way that this introduced some characters whose stories I’d love to read a true series starter that sets things up without being bogged down by too many threads. I loved that this had darker undertones without going all in – it just added a layer of tension that made the story more interesting, but it never went over the top.
Their relationship is a slow burn, especially emotionally, and it simmers in the background before coming to a full boil. My first Ana Huang, and it was a good one! I can see why this author has become so popular – this was soapy and spicy, with a compelling marriage of convenience/forced engagement romance that develops between two strangers who are not very enthusiastic about the arrangement.
