I enjoyed this fine enough and it was pretty formulaic but this was my.least favourite of the series. Literally all the problems could have been solved if he'd told her who he was from the start.

I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
While this was my second-favorite of the series, Colin may be my favorite of the Song trio. Though the story was plagued by pacing issues (there were some important aspects that felt glossed-over, like Jihae's father's sabotage and Colin's secret), I truly enjoyed seeing Colin and Jihae's relationship develop after I got used to the insta-love. Lee does a great job outlining their respective professional accomplishments and creates an equal partnership for the two of them.

I love the Hansol/Song family, and I love Jihae even more. She is strong and fierce, but also caring and vulnerable. Colin was the perfect match for her, and I loved their story!

Another Korean american romance. This one featuring the hour Cousin of the book 1. He is a nightclub owner and beginning film producer. She is from a Korean family dynasty. Originally slatted you marry —- in book 1. She is beautiful ice Princess business woman. Always dressed impeccably in white with her hair tied up. Producing a Korean American rom com has them working together and falling in love. But of course secrets muck up the relationship.

Colin and Jihae fight the instant attraction between them, knowing a romantic entanglement could damage their business relationship. But when the craving becomes too strong, they convince themselves that a fling won't hurt, as long as it's discreet. Over time, they grow closer, even as the secrets between them threaten to tear them apart. How can love survive when the trust between them is destroyed?
This is an emotional story full of passion and intrigue. I enjoyed the characters and sympathized with Jihae's family situation, how they tried to control her and use her as a pawn. It was nice to see her grow into her own power.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.

This was an interesting tie in to the first two in the series and I'm glad we got redemption for Jihae Park. However, this had the same issues as most Harlequin category romances do for me in that it feels too short to tell a fully fleshed out story.
Thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for my copy to review.

I think this was my favorite installment, the second book and this one are pretty close, they both made me emotional, but Colin and Jihae had the most fun banter and dynamic!
