I don’t know what is in Ana Huang’s books but it has me fully under the influence. 

I’m doing this I never thought I would. Devouring her books left and right, rating them more than 3 stars despite them being guilty pleasures. Who am I?? 

Anyway, Dante and Vivian’s book was delicious. I’m personally not a fan of the arranged marriage trope and the last one I tried to read I DNFed at less than 20%. I’m also not a fan of the enemies to lovers trope in contemporary romance but there was just SOMETHING about this book that had me in a choke hold. 

I loved the way both Dante and Vivian’s characters developed in this book. Vivian frustrated me with the way she let her parents walk all over, but I liked the way Dante called her out on it and the way eventually she came to shine on her own. 

The family themes in this book almost had me in tears. It was nice to see some relatable family problems in this book. While I enjoyed the Twisted books, those men women went through things I simply could not relate to lmao! Murder parents, uncle kidnappings, fathers trying to murder them, etc. 

Now for Dante. Ugh I read bad reviews before I read this book that said he was cheesy, an asshole, etc. While I can’t completely disagree, I still liked him a lot. Again, his character arc was great! 

And the grovelinggggg ugh I love it. 

So… what’s next? King of Pride?
