Lauren Asher can do no wrong. This is the fifth book of hers that I have read and I can honestly say, there hasn't been a book that I've truly been disappointed in. This is no exception! It's the first in the series and I love me some billionaires, so this series is perfect for me.

Hee's the tropes we find in this book: boss/employee, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance, Disneyland vibes, theme park environment, age gap, etc.

Mr. Rowan Kane is such a grumpy man, but Zahra is a ball of light and joy and sunshine. And, well... they fall in love. Rowan is the director of Dreamland (a theme park much like Disneyland) and Zahra works there. Rowan hires Zahra to be a Creator, in order to push out projects that will ultimately lead to his promotion to CFO, at the behest of his dead grandfather. Each brother in the series (Rowan is the first) receives a letter from their late grandfather, with stipulations as to what they need to do in order to receive not only their inheritances but the positions they all ultimately want within the company. Rowan has to spend six months as director of the park and come up with a project that revitalizes the theme park, thus earning him his inheritance and the position he wants.

Enter Zahra, who is supposed to help him with these plans. Well, Rowan gets much more than he bargained for; not just love, but different dreams than he ever expected!

I truly enjoyed this and I'm just going to say it: Rowan and Zahra > Declan and Iris.

Everything was perfection, from the romance to the plot to the smut. It's clear that while she falls first, he falls harder and the groveling he has to do to eventually win her back is some of the best I have ever read. Rowan's had a hard life, which leads him to be the grumpy man he is today, but Zahra shows him how to truly LIVE and what's most important in life. Rowan's character development was so well done. He realized the mistakes he made as a businessman, valuing profit over people and I loved the difference he made at the end.

Rowan's relationship with Zahra's siser, Ani (who has Down syndrome; yay for representation) is just so heartwarming and beautiful. I absolutely LOVED this part of the book.

Rowan taking Zahra to meet her favorite author? YES. Rowan watching all seventeen versions of Pride and Prejudice for Zahra? YES. Rowan helping her with her drawings? YES. Rowan's relationship with Ani? YES. The Disney codas? YES. The groveling Rowan did? YES. The sex they have in this book? HELL YES.

Can we talk about the condom scene? I was actually so touched by this because the depths of trust he has for Zahra were just so evident and I loved that part so much. He had been hurt and betrayed so many times by women taking advantage of him in the past in this manner, that to trust Zahra with this, knowing the implications for him, was just beautiful in so many ways.

My other favorite part: *spoiler* The pin at the end where Zahra reveals to Rowan that she is pregnant. I just about died at the part. It was SO PERFECT.
