2.5 stars. There were several things that were okay and several that weren’t.
Good things:
Love the Hispanic representation in a novel
Sex was alright

Bad things:
Glorifies women being emotional support for men whose mothers didn’t show them enough love

Forced closeness after sex. Like they were ridiculous comfortable after their first kiss and sexual encounter despite the awkwardness that they ended the night with. This forced closeness is seen a lot throughout the book.

Accidental pregnancy trope that expedited the happily ever after

Artemis POV was rough to read and made me feel bad for Claudia

Despite Claudia having access to see past the wall he puts up she generally doesn’t for 3/4 of the book

General random plot holes like why did Claudia reject him before for fear of being kicked out and not later? Sophia hadn’t changed her mind on that. Why does Artemis ponder why Claudia started calling him sir when he’s the one that ordered her to?

Boys names mixed up here and there made it confusing at times.

It was hard to fall in love with him when he was using her to fill an emotional void and sexual fantasies. It didn’t feel like love.

Contradictions like crazy. Example: She says she’s never impulsive but has slapped his mother and never seems to hold her tongue and made out with the youngest brother that’s supposed to be like 16 or something?
Also why does Christina say that her father is giving the arranged marriage just as much as Artemis father but then later when he calls it off she is perfectly fine with it? Like thought there’d be a bit of angst about her dad.

Her moms illness could have been spoken on more and developed along with the situation with the mom blackmailing her. I felt like that was just glanced over and became a nonissue way too fast.
