character driven / plot driven : for me, it was both.

The story starts with :
Bianca’s sister wants to get married to her lover, but she can’t until Bianca gets married. Bianca decides to get married, she chooses the only option she has, her ex’s stepbrother and also the man who took her virginity.

Bianca is fiesty, doesn’t give in to dash so easily. Her sass and fiesty attitude is what I really love in her.

Dash’s stepbrother cheated on her, and left her to cry and seek comfort in dash’s arms. Seven years later, she meets him again having a threesome in a club, and sparks from years ago fly. Arya (bianca’s sister) needs to marry and there isn’t enough time for Bianca to consider anyone getting married. So she seduces dash into marrying her. He doesn’t say yes immediately, but later he does, after knowing bianca’s f••••• up parents. I loved the dynamic between Bianca and dash, how he satisfies her in every way possible.

He even flies them both to Paris to buy their engagement rings, spoils her, protects her, and is obsessed with her. I love him so much, and the way he talks is such a turn on. Simran’s writing is exceptionally good.

Dash takes her to a sex club, because he knows that she loves to watch, she’s a voyeur. So he takes her and fulfills all of her fantasies.

Dash is imperfect, but he’s perfect in his own way. He has his own things that he wishes to keep hidden from Bianca. He protects her from her parents, f•••• her like she deserves. He’s morally grey, he has his own values, and doesn’t give a f••• about society.
I love how dash is bianca’s ex’s stepbrother.
I love how the story progresses, but i think it was a little dragged before their wedding, but overall a worthy read!
