    Reader note

    The first book features a crazy male lead who loves self-deception and later pursues his wife. The female lead is incredibly rational and not a naive or innocent character! Both the main and supporting characters are well-developed and three-dimensional. The second book has a well-developed male lead who is very intelligent and has everything under control. The female lead is cute and grows throughout the story, changing significantly in the middle. The author also handles plot holes well. Both books involve arranged marriages that develop into love stories; the plots and writing styles are both good.
