This book is probably the best written in the series but at this point I was so over the morally grey billionaire trope. For some reason her morally grey billionaires are more interesting when they are the background characters instead of the male lead. This goes for Christian, Alex and Dante.

IDC what anyone says about this book. It felt like Ana Huang wrote this for me. Kai Young is my favorite Ana Huang man. He is literally my dream man

Calling on the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 39%.
Listened to audio book because of a reel 
“She asks for a list of thing he doesn’t like so that he won’t want to marry her”
“He secretly writes the list himself and puts hates kissing and physical touch on it”
The actual scene was underwhelming to me and the rest of the book doesn’t sound interesting enough for me to keep reading
