Characters : ⭐
What I loved : only the spice, and the small details about their family descriptions.
What I struggled with : the pacing of the book felt rushed, I didn’t like the way they just get married, and decide to have sex on the same day, after she gets stood up by the other king brother, and she suddenly starts to have all these “sparks” and “feelings” ???? like when did that happen? where is the buildup, and the tension?
Loveable characters or not : likeable. not loveable.
Strong character development : none.
Plot driven / character driven : none. for me, I just waltzed through the dialogues to understand the story till the end.
Favorite quotes/ highlights : “While he chats with people, his hand maintains contact with some part of me—my back, my waist, my arm, like he’s marking out territory. It should annoy me, but it feels like a badge. Like his claiming me.”
“Yeah. I want the real deal. You won’t be my wife just in name. You’ll be mine in every way, in and out of bed. In exchange, I’ll support you emotionally and financially.” The more I speak, the surer I am about this decision. “Whatever you need, Charlotte, I’ll give it to you.”
Similar authors : none.
Similar book recommendations : no recommendations, but maybe try reading other best friends to lovers books.
Any other details : for a short novella, it was good, but still…i’d need more details about their life, it would have been better. I don’t know how others think of this book :(
