Iris Rose is a vivid blend of magic, heart, and quiet danger. K.M. Batur crafts a world that feels both intimate and otherworldly, with a heroine whose flaws and strengths make her impossible to forget. The story twists gracefully, the side characters matter, and the atmosphere lingers long after the last page. A beautifully woven contemporary romance with incredible depth.

A delicious and tantalizing corporate romance with an emotionally charged cast.
If you like contemporary romance and drama in a corporate setting, this is a book for you. It was an emotional rollercoaster indeed. I liked the themes KM had going on: relationship dynamics, unconventional relationships, polyamorous communication, self-repression, self-discovering (yes, not discovery)...everything.
What kept me from giving a five-star review was that I wished we had more backstory on Declan to support why Iris felt secure with him other than meeting him after one of her breakups. There were also some instances where scenes or interactions were over-explained, and we could tell without further explanation. All in all for KM's debut novel, she did an awesome job. Looking forward to her next book.
