The fmc isn’t a damsel in distress, she can stand on her own. The mc isn’t barging in to save her.
The mc isn’t overbearing, or forcing himself on to her to get a reaction out of her. You know the ususl cliche of the ml not trusting others so he’s constantly grabbing her her hand, pinning her against walls, no mental battles. Just two adults with common enemies working together to kick their assess.
Yes, I do see the potential for romance. The slow development of colleagues to friends to lovers is there. It can’t be helped, they’ll both trauma bond and get peace of mind together and then he’ll become protective of her.
Yes we have the typical villans but the current demeanor of both the leads makes it a refreshing read. Aaahhh I want more.
Reasons I want you to give it a try:
1. No magic, it has been shown that both leads have trained their combat abilities.
2. Yes, they are contract lovers, no they don’t share the same rooms, no they haven’t eaten to together, no they arent doing the side stories of them going on walks to bond as yet.
3. The fmc has the plans the mc has the resources. Note that she does have her maid (who’s trained in combat), she has a vessel (the second ml, who runs a mercenary guild, yes he has feelings for her). So she didn’t enter the contract empty handed.
4. She HOLDS her composure, no mental diagoue of how she’d answer the enemies, no reckless action, no jumping into danger, no being a pushover.
Sorry for the read guys. It’s my first time writing a review of something I like. I hope you guys enjoy.
Ps she beats up her Fiance….with a bottle and he doesn’t remember 🤣
