Description
“Sell yourself to me, Princess. I will buy you for a very high price.” Sell herself? Adeline’s lips quivered. She couldn’t overlook such insulting words. “How impudent! Is buying and selling people a norm in this kingdom?”“Pardon me for being impolite.. When the Duke of Rocher has already put the Princess up for sale, it sounds naive coming from you.” Adeline, a noble Princess descended from two royal bloodlines, and Alexio, a half noble Duke with a commoner mother —a match that seemed impossible. The whole nation is excited about the marriage of the century that has shaken the kingdom. But little do they know.That their marriage was riddled with secret deals and contracts. “I’ll give you plenty of time to think about it. It’s only natural to go through various verification processes for such a significant transaction…”“I’ll do it.”“…Yes?”“I agree. To this marriage.” Why did two people who seemed totally mismatched end up joining forces? The real reason behind their marriage, kept under wraps, remained a mystery to everyone.

My Thoughts on Dawnlike Black
"Dawnlike Black" is a completed novel that I dove into with a mix of curiosity and caution, given its "mature" and "smut" tags. What I found was a story with a compelling premise and characters, though not without some potential pitfalls.
First Impressions
The initial chapters grabbed my attention. The setup of a contract marriage between Adeline, seeking to escape an unwanted arrangement, and Alexio, with his own political motivations, felt fresh. I was particularly intrigued by the promise of a slow-burn romance built on mutual respect, rather than insta-love or contrived drama.
What Works Well
The strength of "Dawnlike Black" lies in its character development. I found Adeline and Alexio to be well-developed, with distinct personalities that made their interactions engaging. I appreciated that Adeline, despite her sheltered background, wasn't portrayed as overly naive. Alexio, too, moved beyond the typical cold male lead, displaying a sense of humor and charm that drew me in. Their bickering was genuinely entertaining, and I was invested in seeing their relationship evolve. The novel's pacing also worked well for me, allowing the characters and their connection to develop organically. I also enjoyed that the misunderstandings were realistic and resolved quickly, without dragging on.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I can see where some readers might have reservations. I did have a few concerns about the male lead's actions. Several readers pointed out that his intimate touches, while the relationship is still contractual, can feel like he's leading Adeline on. I can see how this could be a problem for some readers, especially if they prefer a clear line between business and pleasure in a contract marriage scenario.

Final Verdict
Overall, I found "Dawnlike Black" to be an enjoyable read. The well-developed characters, engaging plot, and slow-burn romance make it a worthwhile experience. However, potential readers should be aware of the mature content and possible issues with the male lead's behavior and specific scenes that some may find problematic.
