AAAAA! Ana you nasty girl! Ok this was amaze balls. I adore Dante and Vivian and their chemistry is amazing. Dante is the CRO of one of the largest companies in the world and Vivian is the heiress to a jewelry conglomerate. When Vivians father blackmails Dante into an arranged marriage, he uses all his resources to destroy the evidence while maintaining public apparences with Vivian. The relationship felt very raw and real between the disastrous meeting and very cold discussions for months. They graduate into something more electric and it's so fun to read! My only complaint is that I feel like the characters are kinda stagnant? Like Vivian and Dante both grow and change but they don't feel much different? For some reason that bothers me. Otherwise is amazing!!!

Very well written and one of my favorites. Has a classic enemies to lovers. Explicit sexual content and minor angst closer to the end

Super fun book, both sides of the romance were believable and likeable, with both having their own flaws they manage. Starts off kinda slow but picks up quickly after the first few chapters. Read this in one sitting.

I read this in one sitting, I could not put it down. Will definitely continue the series! I like how the next in the series moves on from the couple in this book and doesn't just stay with them, and we can see the couple that the next book is about meet in this book.

I loved the vibe of the book I did kinda burn out toward the end but we powered through. My favorite scene is when they’re in the Vahalla club together and inattentively fall in love with each other. I didn’t like how she wouldn’t move in with him at the end, like I understand why but I still just wish she sucked it up. Hands together for Edward and Greta for carrying the book🙌🏻.

It’s nothing new, but sometimes the same old is refreshing. You know what’s going to happen, you know they eventually run off into the sunset. What makes Ana Huang’s tales so different is the examination of family structures within Asian cultures. The examination is not in depth and does not take away from the plot, but it acts as a starting point for reflective ideas and further learning.

I Now Have "Empire State of Mind" Sick in My Head and It Won't Get Out
I honestly don't know whether this one or Twisted Lies was more of a favorite of mine. I certainly enjoyed Dante more than Christian which was surprising, and my level of relation to Vivian hurt like a mofo. Enough generics though, let's dive into it.

The Characters
Vivian: Whew, girlie pop. Here we go. I truly have a hard time when it comes to characters I relate to in terms of personal or family life. It always hits so much harder than all the others, and boy did this one hit hard. The way Vivian's mother talked to her about her weight, eating habits, dress code, all of it. It was all too familiar. And the way Viv dealt with it? I get it. I do. It's all too familiar with me and my mother, except my mother has even less "reason" to be able to do it.
Family talk aside, Viv was honestly such a bad ass throughout the whole book and the face that she continued to pursue her dreams, even after Dante came in on a damn bull dozer was so admirable.

Dante: I wish I knew the words I had for this man other than "oh my heart. He honestly was the biggest simp and I loved it so much about him. He is what I want, just maybe without the meanness at the beginning. The things he is willing to do for family while also knowing where those lines need to be drawn *ahem*, Viv's family made my heart so happy. Yes, he's a vindictive shit but who wouldn't be??

Things I Loved
I loved the way Viv did NOT just allow this man to walk back into her life. While it got on my ever-loving nerves and pissed me off to no end, it also was very healthy of her to not allow him to take advantage of her. She honestly was such a strong and unproblematic FMC who didn't get on my nerves and I loved her so much.

Things I Didn't Love
This is definitely contradictory to my last statement but the only thing I can think I didn't like from this book was the fact that Viv didn't take him back sooner. It hurt my poor heart so much. I also wish we could have seen more of the statement piece that Dante's brother helped her pick out.

The Final Verdict
If y'all do not RUN to read this book, I will be sorely disappointed in you. Very much "y'all better some up here and get one of these" "what's that?" "a chicken salad" vibes.
