I am feral. FERAL. for Zachary Sun & I love every minute of it 🥵🙌🏼 holy gods, this man is the slightly deranged and oh so delicious all at the same time.
while I enjoyed My Dark Romeo, the first installment in the Dark Prince Road series, this second visit back to the exclusive neighborhood in the Potomac was simply everything. Zach & Farrow make Romeo & Dallas’s story seem pale in comparison to the tumultuous yet sizzling rapport that we get from these two. this dark Cinderella retelling had me questioning my morals at moments as our two mc’s snarl and snap at one each other’s throats, trying their hardest to deny the attraction they feel.
after catching her trying to steal from him at a party, Zach suggests entering into a bargain, leaving Farrow little choice but to accept his terms, or face the consequences of getting caught. she becomes his maid, and so much more, because Zach quickly realizes that Farrow might be the only person left on this planet that he can stomach, both physically and emotionally. these two have such incredible chemistry. the back & forth banter. the nickname he almost immediately gives her, not quite adorable, but so fitting for the sharp-witted Farrow. the “teaching” and exploring 🤠OH. MY. GODS. I couldn’t stop blushing. and drooling. they’re such a well matched pair in the end, learning to lean on one another and to allow themselves to finally feel the emotions they denied themselves for so long.
special shoutout to the found family aspects of this book as well. Farrow & Dallas, even Ari and Frankie, develop such a beautiful friendship. the empowerment and love that Dallas showers onto Farrow had me misty eyed, and grateful for women supporting women! and we got glimpses of the guys bond in My Dark Romeo, especially through Romeo’s HILARIOUS group chat with Zach & Ollie. and honestly, they managed to get even funnier and ahem, creative with their discussions, this time around. I absolutely love their bromances and the support these men show each other, whether they want to admit the love is there or not. it’s a brotherhood & I’m so excited to see more from Ollie’s POV in the next book!
Thank you to both of the authors and Grey’s Promotions for providing and ARC of this book for me to give my honest review!
