Maybe it's just my taste. But I only read a story about strong cold woman. The real strong woman who's not easily swayed when someone oh-so-handsome appeared in front of her. And after I read many reviews I have a high expectations. But unfortunately doesn't matter how cold fl is, she still has that 'innocence' personality that make her emotional, blushing, shy or whatever you name it once she meet the alpha male lead who force his way and doesn't know the meaning of 'no means no'. Yeah, many books have this kind of trope, including this one. He kissed her in their second meeting, and rather than get angry she feel weak instead? Don't forget that fl's favorite lines "Why I only become weak in front of this man (the stranger she doesn't know his name yet)?" Oh well, I'm sick with this barbarian male lead and the so called strong female lead. In the end, I dropped this story.

I get where you're coming from and there is definitely some areas of contradiction in the personality. However, I do have a reason for her to be like this (its tied to childhood trauma) and the complexities in her personality only comes out later in the book. She definitely is the cold FL you were probably looking for but just not now. I respect your opinion though, thanks for giving the novel a try!
