He's my dark Romeo... but this isn't a love story. It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn't driven by love. He's fueled by revenge. To him, I'm a chess piece. Leverage. His rival's betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I'll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn't die. But Romeo? He perishes. Perfect for fans of Lauren Asher and Ana Huang, My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.

An Enemies-To-Lovers Romance

I was in a slump for over a month now and while I had fun during a book or two I missed the giddy enjoyment I normally have if a book is good. Well this was not only good but fantastic! I loved it so much. They maybe didn't try to kill each other but they truly hated each other for the majority of the book haha I loved it.

(I am glad he changed directions because while I can accept morally grey, making weapons is were I draw the line lol)

She was absolutely hilarious and even he was funny af when it comes to hating his dad haha

FMC was a little childish and annoyed me for most of the first half but it got better in the second half and the ending was really sweet.

loved the aesthetic of this book it screams old money. Romeo is such a fittie sunshine x grumpy trope this is one of my favourite books. So easy to read

Who doesn’t love a enemies to lovers + marriage of convenience? 

This book was pretty good! I loved the majority of it but the MC gave me the ick about 10 times throughout…. HOWEVER The characters where well written and it was faced paced! 

I would recommend this if you are wanting a good enemies to lovers, because they really hate each other for the most part of the book

I think I was judging the title when I thought this would be too cheesy. I was very wrong, and I loved every minute of it. Now I’m hoping my shitty memory will grant me the decency of forgetting it so it will be brand new again next year 🫶🏻

After being caught together at a party, Dallas's reputation is ruined, so she must marry Romeo, the man who ruined her.  Dallas is only part of Romeo's plan to bring down a rival's family business as well as his own father's company, but she proves feisty and irresistible.  While things in Romeo's past make it impossible for him to love Dallas, he does admire the way she fights him at every turn, but no matter what, he is never going to give into her desire to have a baby. 

I have mixed feelings about My Dark Romeo.  While the novel is extremely flawed, it somehow intrigued me enough to want to read it right to the very end.  Almost all of the characters are unlikable, especially the protagonists, and many of their actions are wildly inappropriate, but there is a certain fascination with them that I can't ignore.  In addition, the pacing of the story is off with much of Romeo's story delivered in a monologue near the end of the book, after which he is suddenly supposed to be likable.  Also there are some consent issues in this book, that at times make the reading uncomfortable and a suspense plot that comes totally out of the blue near the end of the book.  Overall, My Dark Romeo is a problematic romance that still manages to be fascinating.
