Elouise East always seems to balance the ongoing intrigue with individual character development to give us a complete story within the Club Royal world and she does it again with Patrick and Kieren. This is another power imbalance story with Kieren working for the royal family, both protecting Patrick and teaching him to defend himself...
For me, the love story in this book was the highlight and it was lovely to see Patrick get his HEA, but I struggled with the ongoing plot and the whole group encounters. I found that some of the interplay and commentary from other couples took me out of Kieren and Patrick's story.
I am looking forward to the final book in the series, with the last Royal getting his HEA and hopefully having the whys of the intrigue solved as well... I'm truly hoping for an interesting plot twist or two...
