I’m sorry but this was so dreadfully boring. It wasn’t even that the book was bad persé, it’s just that it literally bored me to tears.
Nothing about this relationship managed to capture my interest. They had no chemistry or tension, and none of their interactions were particularly fun to read. It was insta-love to the highest degree, and nothing interesting happened between them.
Thus, despite the intriguing promise of a romance between a king and his stable boy, I did not care for these two at all.
I also wasn’t a big fan of the writing, because even though this is a moderately short book, it felt incredibly long. I couldn’t help but skim over half of it since most of the scenes were just completely irrelevant to the story and were unnecessarily dragged out.

I thought this was such a delight to read! Cute romance and some fun spice. I liked the characters a lot. Felix’s dad was so dang sweet. I loved seeing a loving father/son relationship. I would definitely read more of these if it became a series.

Some how too long and for a slightly spicy book skipped a lot of spice.
Literally first full time was a fade to black with slight flashback …. Convenient plot devices and the solutions made a few more problems. It was ok but would not re read

2.5 stars. Enjoyable on the whole, but kinda unremarkable? The new royal groom mistakes the king for someone else, gives him a lot of backtalk, the king is pretty amused about this and they end up having a sexy interlude that leads to more. It's a fun little premise, and there's plot stuff happening in the background, but it was all just a little flat to me. I wanted more chemistry, more horse stuff, more close-up views of the administration of this kingdom. I could see how the author wanted me to care about relationships outside of the main one, and laid the foundations for that, but it didn't really bear fruit. As for the main relationship... it was cute! Not anything to write home about. There's fair bit of sex and it's fun and kinky and good, but also somehow really flat?? IDK, I just wasn't feeling it. Not that the book was bad in any way; just not a new favourite or anything.
