King and Groom, clandestine romance, a bit of kink what more can I ask? Something that could have made this stand out a bit maybe?
The writing was lovely, the story was funny, low angst, with delightful characters BUUUUUT at the same time the characters and the plot could have been anyone at any time and any place and very few things would need to change to adapt it. There wasn't something that had me glued to my screen unable to put it down, so much so that after the 30% I just started skimming the story.
I love the cover though!

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
