It was my first time reading this author and I liked it. I found this not your typical M&B, and thank goodness, because I was debating giving up on the Modern line. I found the last books I read quite boring and silly for these times.
Even though the story begins with the classic marriage of convenience to obtain, in 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐒 case his heritage back and for 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄, to care for his mom—who’s in a coma—and to be a debtless person; it wasn’t as bad as I imagined. The thing is, sometimes I find these plots a bit unrealistic for this era but it worked in this book because it wasn’t the center of the story, it was just the beginning for what was most important, their relationship. And I really liked how it developed. It’s true there wasn’t the normal quota of drama you find in these kind of books (that borders on the ridiculous and exasperate me) but that’s the good in this story. Their relationship growth was realistic and I enjoyed it. At least it didn’t happen in a few days.
Like I said there wasn’t too much drama, still there was some…Both have chips on their shoulders thanks to their parents. That’s something that they had to fight to go to the next phase. Thanos was the more stubborn, being abandoned by his mom left him feeling loveless and unexpectedly Alice has a similar past but she was the braver in this relationship. They realize they have many similarities even if they came from different worlds. He takes his freaking time; however, he 𝓭𝓲𝓭 realize his mistake with the help of a matchmaker old man.
P.S. I have to say it, I know the name Thanos is greek but I couldn’t take it seriously when I kept thinking about Thanos from Avengers. LOL
