i had high expectations as so many people hype this up, but this is just usual cringe 12 y .o writing a dark romance of cold rich unemotional rich duke finally having someone that tickles their interest. not to mention he has more memories of the fl being a child rather than normal interactions. all good about this is just the visual and the European setting. other than that the characters are written too stereotypically. and not to mention they always talk about look and good looking traits which make the writing on the dynamic a bit shallow. if you're a new person being into dark romance you'd probably like it, but if you already read alot of dark romance novel, this is a bit cringe.
