This was such a cliche (not good cliche), boring book, and the characters weren't lovable to me. It was disappointing. I don't even understand how and why they fell in love. The writing wasn't great, either, and the military love took me out. The smut made me snort a couple of times.
It felt like I was reading a bad first draft, ngl.

 I may have my reservations about the Crown, but I had enormous respect for the military.

spice quantity 3/5
spice quality 1/5
The tension was so great, but the spicy scenes were as if added in later on with no connections to the characters they were simply not individualized...
In books I prefer characters not voicing political opinions, if it is not something like "I support human rights".
I do not like fMCs

giving up everything they dreamed of for a man like come on.

Other than that it was a good little romance story.
