Rowan
I’m in the business of creating fairy tales.
Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels.
Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland.
My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her.
Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias.
By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late.
People like me don’t get happy endings.
Not when we’re destined to ruin them.

Zahra
After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland’s most expensive ride, I should have been fired.
Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job.
The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I’d ever met.
Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn’t care.
At least not until I discovered his secret.
It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn’t fix everything.
Especially not us.

The Fine Print is the first book in a series of interconnected standalones following three billionaire brothers.

I finally read the first book in the “Dreamland Billionaires” trilogy! If you haven’t been sleeping under a rock, you know this book was way too overhyped on BookTok -, and now I finally got the opportunity to read it for myself and draw my own opinion.

To be completely honest I went into this book without knowing what the story was about. The only thing I knew was that this is a romance trilogy following three billionaire brothers – and their respective romantic interests, of course -, so I was very excited when I found out this was like a Disneyland Parks-inspired series! The theme surprised me because I never read a book with a theme like this, and I thought it was very unique and creative. It was so obvious it was inspired by these parks in particular because of the small details mentioned here and there – like the beauty boutique, the similarity to real Disney movies, etc. So it was cool to read about the “Dreamland” park!

The romance between Rowan and Zahra was cute! I liked their banter, but mostly, I really liked how he fell for her first. I would describe the romance as an “enemies to lovers” trope because they hated each other (mostly) the entire time. This is one of my favorite tropes, so I had no problem with that! There are a few sex scenes here and there, but I still wouldn’t consider this a very smutty book like I thought it would be – from 0 to 10, I would give this a 5 or a 6 on a “smut scale”. 

I liked them as main characters – but as it often happens in these romance novels, they separate at some point for dumb reasons. With that said, don’t be afraid – the story has a happy ending. The writing is good and easy to follow. One thing I always appreciate authors doing is small chapters, which is the case for this book. It helps a lot to digest the story and it’s easier to take breaks. Also – and I could be completely wrong -, but I think there were a few references to Julia Quinn and the Bridgerton books, but with different names. If I’m correct, how cool is that?

I wonder if the next books will also have the theme park as a background? I’m guessing not as much since Rowan didn’t cross paths with his brothers often… but we’ll see!

I’m excited to keep going with the series! I hope the next book is a secretary-boss romance. From the small tip we got from the first book, it sure seems like it! We’ll see, but I think I’m going to be a fan either way!
