I haven’t read anything from Donna Alam before, but I really enjoyed No Romeo.
It was such a fun read.
No Romeo has a smart and strong FMC and a stubborn and handsome MMC – and I LOVE them both. I was invested as soon as I met Evie, and I had a crush on Oliver as soon as that door opened 🤭🫣
I LOVE Evie. She is feisty and strong and believes in herself. And Oliver, in all his gruff arrogance, was just as great. He wanted us to think he was unlovable, but he was really just a soft marshmallow at the centre of it all 😍 They were absolutely perfect together from start to end. They bantered and laughed and teased; their chemistry was undeniable.
There were moments that hit me in the heart and others where I was laughing out loud or giggling to myself.
As much as I loved Evie and Oliver, I loved their friends too. Nora was such a great addition, and I hope we get to learn more about Yara, Matt and Fin in the upcoming stories 💖
This was such a fun read. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves billionaires and strong female characters!

*I received an eARC copy in exchange for my honest review of this book*
Big thank you to NetGalley, Donna Alam and Montlake for the chance to read this book.

Spicy romance with both a strong female lead and a handsome male lead. Side characters that you want to know more about!
Thank you for the arc.

No Romeo represents Donna Alam at her very best. It is replete with humour, sexiness and her lovely style of writing. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion and invested in the story and characters within the first couple of chapters.

The MFC, Eve, is one of my favourite Donna Alam characters to date. Eve is not a damsel in distress. She’s feisty, funny and takes full ownership of her life and decisions. She’s a MFC to be admired on all levels. That is not to say that Oliver, the MMC, is any less appealing. He is a wonderful mix of arrogance and charm. You will root for this couple from the get go. The banter between Eve and Oliver is off the charts and take no prisoners. The chemistry between them is explosive and the book balances the arc of the storyline with spice perfectly.

The side characters are built into this book in a wonderful way that supports the plot but makes you want to know their stories too. I am assuming (I hope not incorrectly) that Oliver’s business partners/friends Matt and Fin will have follow-up stories in this series, but I would also like to see what happens with Nara and future cameos by Nora would be a delight.

After months of ‘meh’ reads and a myriad of DNFs, it was wonderful to be sucked into this book hook, line and sinker. I raced through it because I was enjoying it so much but conversely, never wanted it to end. Kudos to Donna Alam for writing such a wonderful romance.
