Let me be frank when I say that this novel is NOT for everyone. If you are looking for a short paced romance with lots of fluff, this novel isn’t for you. This is typed as a romance novel and yes, it does mostly center around the romance between or ML, Kyle and our (incredible beautiful breathtaking perfect) FL, Tara. However, the main focus and the true drive of this story is as the title suggests. To save the damn family.This story is very heavy on plot, and for the first couple arcs, the romance is barely squeezed in but after that, their slower than slow burn romance soars and you get all these cute romantic moments which is made even better because their love took a goddamn long time to develop.The characters in this series are also given lots of love and are mostly quite developed.1. Our leads💕💕- I would waste everyone’s day if I were to speak on how much I adore Tara, our FL so I’ll cut it short by saying that she’s one of the most realistic approaches to FL I’ve ever seen. Strong willed? Definitely but she also knows her limits and is not afraid to step down when she knows she can’t handle something. This is a very good quality that it rare in novels, even rarer in real life. She’s also not a Mary Sue and has actively worked towards everything she has. Be it her body, her intelligence, her knowledge her strength, everything! This novel also has a very healthy approach to burn-outs and mental fatigue as well and while she is hard on herself, she isn’t necessarily s*upid enough to push her limits.The ML Kyle is very different from a good chunk of OI ML’s. He’s very practical and is genuinely cold hearted. He doesn’t look at our FL with rose tainted glasses and is very pragmatic. The romance between them is extra slow but when it hits, you’ll see parts of Kyle you’d never imagine possible2. The side characters- The side characters are pretty well written. A good chunk of them have their own goals and reasons and signature personalities. Every little character undergoes some sort of development in one way or the other.3. The antagonists- The antagonists (there are multiple antagonists as we progress further into the story) are all quite well developed, each and every single one of them having legitimate reasons and layers to them (except for maybe two or three minor villains). We have villains who are legitimately terrifying because of their intelligence, resources and charisma, we have villains who have good reasons for their actions, etc.
