I thoroughly enjoyed Embrace and loved the friends-to-lovers trope. Blaze, the male lead, is such a good man, and the way the story set up the arranged marriage was perfect—you could tell who was meant to meet her at the aisle from the start. The honeymoon scenes were steamy, and I loved that the book was set in Houston, TX. This is my second read in the Arranged Hearts series, and it’s a great follow-up. I appreciated how seamlessly they transitioned into married life after being best friends for so long. 

However, around the halfway point, I found myself wondering where the story would go, as they seemed to have an ideal life post-marriage and honeymoon. Unlike Desire, there wasn’t much conflict or a significant plot twist. That being said, I still really enjoyed the book and Blaze as a character, and the narration was excellent throughout. If you’re a fan of low-angst romance, this is definitely a great read!
