This book was a bit slow in the beginning. But it got so much better! I've read a lot of Enemies to Lovers books over the years, but this book covers the trope Amazingly. I laughed, I cried. These charcaters were  complete opposites, and they fought, yelled, called each other names, and gave each other the silent treatment. It kept me on edge. Then, towards the end, the plot twist had me hanging on the edge of my seat!!! I don't wanna spoil anything. Bit if you have been thinking about reading this and putting it off. Pick up and just DIVE right in! Hang in there... everything will piece together, and you want to regret it!

Nowadays, I can't go right into a book by Shen and say, "oh yeah, I know EXACTLY what I'm going to get and its going to be epic!" Whelp, now, for her last TWO books, I've been blown away, just like the beginning days and I was so happy about it!    Yes, it started out dark with the men oppressively hating women but morphed into something real and rich over the course of the book.  It was a slow burn and the build up made me fall that much more in love with it.  With having read a few books by Huntington (who is an amazing writer herself) I could tell (well, I think so at least) who wrote what and that was fun too! Parker seems to write books where her H respects the h a bit more than Shens more recent books but still have a heck of a backbone and doesn't take crap.  We got a good blend here and it made this book magical.     I loved how we got to peel back the layers of both characters and how they seemed to have absolutely NOTHING in common only to discover they both have fierce determination and dogged steadfastness, not allowing anything to get in the way of what they wanted.  That right there was the foundation of this union and it blossomed into a thing of beauty. The , of course, we have those infamous stëamy scenes! 😮‍💨those bad boys were straight up unapologetically raunchy! 😏I even had to clutch my metaphorical pearls a time or two and THATS saying something! For the actual act to not even be the end game of the smëxy times this made it that much more naüghty in my opinion! These two were 🌶️💦🥵🔥HOT without a doubt. Yeah, these authors know how to light it up for sure!!     I have mixed feelings about the secondary characters and will wait to see how their stories pan out in the next few books to fully make a judgement but I did like them, they were fun and brought some laughter to the story for sure! But also have the potential to go the crazy route too (and who says that's a bad thing)??       All in all, this was a great read and even greater listen. I first heard the narrator Jacob Morgan in my 1st Parker S. Huntington book and have followed him since.  I LOVE his voice, just YUM!  Stella Hunter is also one of my favorites.  She gives great inflection and draws you deeper into the story she makes you feel part of it. These 2 together?  Wow, made for an amazing, hit AF read.  Its such a relief when authors get the right narrators to pair with their books!  These 2 were spot on in this case and you will be grateful for it if you chose to listen!  I did a little bit of both (read & listen) as I like to listen when I'm driving too! Can't wait to see what happens next!

This book is funny, tear jerking, and leads you through every emotion you will ever experience even emotions you may not know have existed. It took me forever to get to this book from my long tbr list but wow I am just truly impressed with the amazing writing work and skills put into this book. To all the people who put their hard work into this book thank you thank you thank you for an unforgettable experience. But oh how I wish I could forget it only to read it for the first time again.

Really enjoyed this book, great story and even better banter, I found myself laughing and getting emotional was definitely a roller coaster. I couldn’t put this book down! I loved the mmc and mfc but i always find that my fav characters aren’t the main ones and I love that the author gave other characters in this book their own books (my dark desire, my dark prince). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Despite its darker themes, “My Dark Romeo” incorporates humor that lightens the mood. The interactions between Dallas and Romeo often lead to laugh-out-loud moments that balance the tension in their relationship. This blend of drama and comedy makes for an enjoyable reading experience

The characters are well-developed, with their past traumas adding depth to their personalities. Romeo’s transformation throughout the novel is particularly compelling, showcasing how love can change even the most hardened hearts.

With its rich storytelling, engaging characters, and a perfect mix of romance and humor, “My Dark Romeo” is a must-read for fans of contemporary romance. It’s a delightful escape into a world filled with passion, intrigue, and unforgettable moments.

My entire heart!!

The amount of love I have for this book cannot be described. I didn’t want it to end, and I read it as quick as Dallas can eat an entire cake.

It’s such a great book! Dallas and Romeo are so great and they just work in the most funny yet best way possible. They’re polar opposites but from the moment they met down to the last page, their chemistry was so undeniable. I can go on and on about my love for them, but I’ll save that for another time! My Dark Romeo is seriously a must read, I couldn’t put it down!

Even the side characters were spectacular.

One thing really I loved about this book was that Romeo has a personality! Weird, but it’s true. In so many other books the grump usually never does, and Romeo was HILARIOUS. So was Dallas, I couldn’t stop laughing and giggling the entire time.

This is one of my favorite books, and it just so happened to be by two of my favorite authors. Please read this book immediately you won’t regret it.

Also Romeo is such a romantic, who would’ve thought! As Oliver and Zach said, “p*ssy whipped.” He’s so whipped in the best way possible like he built an entire library house just because she wanted one. I’ll never not think of that scene 😭

I absolutely LOVED this book!! The banter between Romeo and Dallas and Romeo and his dudes is top notch HILARIOUS!!! Romeo is such an A Hole!! Omg 🤦🏻‍♀️ but we learn as we get further along there’s a good reason for his behavior. Dallas is amazing and definitely Romeo’s equal when it comes to well basically everything! She’s so witty and good hearted! The spice is good not over done or drawn out for pages upon pages so I enjoyed that a lot Some authors just think spicy scenes need to go on and on and on in actuality it gets old real quick. I HAVE to have spice in my books so I’m not a prude about it, I just feel sometimes less is more. The dialogue is so good and very realistic and not stilted or awkward at all. I love me some awesome dialogue and banter and this book has it spades!!! I laughed out loud a lot. I rarely give 5 stars anymore I’ve been reading for a very very long time so there’s quiet a few boxes that need ticking for me to be ok with leaving a 5 star review and this story achieved that by miles! Good job ladies well done and keep up writing together I throughly enjoyed Romeo & Dallas and company!!

SPOILER FREE REVIEW This book was pretty good, I liked Romeo's character and the way he was written a lot. I didn't like the main character very much, though, which knocked this book's rating down. She's not very interesting, and quite annoying at times. It's rare that I read a book and not like the character whose perspective the book is written from. I feel like Romeo was extremely well written and the small changes in his demeanor leading up to the end of the book are subtle but easy to pick up on towards the end of the book. I liked Romeo's friends a lot and the way he's more relaxed with them throughout the book. I did, however, find the basic plot of the story to be just that- basic. A rude rich guy marries a hot, but annoying woman because of his enemy and then falls in love with her. A lot of books are written with this basic plot, but they add to it, making it more interesting and less cliche. Take King of Wrath, same basic storyline, but the author added so much to both main characters that the book was impossible to put down. I think the author of this book was so focused on Romeo's character that she forgot about the main character. She simply made the main annoying, with no depth. She's like a beautiful pool that looks full of promise, then you try to jump in and it's only a few inches deep. Also, the smut is awful. It's poorly written, and downright weird in some chapters. I don't usually read much of it anyway, I usually just skip, but I noticed that some of the scenes the author wrote are just weird and grossed me out. I think the author could do so much with this book if she added more depth to the main and the plot, and took out some of the poorly written inappropriate scenes.
