📖 This book was a book club pick and I honestly don’t know why I didn’t read it soon. This isn’t a book for everyone but it’s for me. I did the mistake of starting this book at 10pm and I never went to bed - straight to work I went. I had to finished. I love a good ice cold controlling dom-brat dynamic. Rom has the same taste in women as I do 😂. I enjoyed the banter and characters in this book. I will continue to the next book.
If you love dark, arranged marriage romance with a mix of enemies-to-lovers and grumpy x sunshine, My Dark Romeo delivers a story packed with tension, sass, and undeniable chemistry. This book is the perfect blend of angst, wit, and slow-burn intensity, giving you a couple that will have you screaming in frustration and swooning at the same time.
Romeo Costa is cold, calculated, and completely untouchable—the kind of man who always gets what he wants. And what he wants? Dallas Townsend, a fiery, strong-willed heroine who refuses to bend to his will, even when she’s forced into an arranged marriage with him. Their dynamic is pure gold: Romeo is ruthless and emotionally detached, while Dallas is full of life, humor, and rebellion. Their push-and-pull is addicting, filled with sharp banter, stolen glances, and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington nail the storytelling with lyrical prose, layered characters, and a romance that burns slow but explodes when it finally ignites. The spice is there, but it’s the emotional depth and growth of both characters that make this book stand out. If you love antiheroes, forced proximity, and an arranged marriage with fireworks, this one will have you hooked.
⭐ Rating: 5/5 – Dark, swoon-worthy, and completely addictive.
🔥 Spice Level: Slow burn but worth the wait.
⚠️ Warnings: Some dark themes and power dynamics—check trigger warnings before diving in.
