While I loved Battle Royal more (the first book in the Palace Insider’s series), I still really enjoyed Codename Charming. It’s sweet, funny, and unexpectedly moving—a feel-good read all around.

Yes, you can see where things are headed, but that doesn’t take away from the payoff. It’s still so satisfying when it all comes together. The characters are wonderful—each one strong in their own right—and the chemistry and charm really shine. Parker’s writing is sharp and witty, and I found myself laughing, cheering, cringing, and even crying (the happy kind!) right along with them.

A lovely addition to the series. I truly hope there’s more to come.
