I wouldn't read this book if you are looking for good plot twists, while it has some they don't last very long for you to infer what might happen. Overall I liked that characters and their relationship and I didn't like slow pace in the beginning/middle parts.

I absolutely loved Rhys. I listened to the audiobook so I think that helped but that man is filthy in all the best ways and his care for Bridget is so beautiful. Bridget was a strong FMC but Rhys really stole the show. I wanted to know what he was thinking and planning and saying. The plot itself wasn’t bad or far-fetched. It made sense in the grand scheme of the book and was resolved nicely. This book isn’t literary genius but the plot was good, the characters lovable, and the smut so spicy.

This is a princess falls in love with bodyguard book, with the nice twist of her brother abdicating the throne for the same crime of falling in love with someone without noble blood.
I really enjoyed the tension and slow burn, and when the spice did hit, it hit really well. I personally found the sex scenes well written, and enjoyed the rough descriptions. However, that's not to say that this was without its flaws.
Like Twisted Love, there were a number of clichéd and contrived plots, but not nearly to the same extent. The villain may as well have twisted their mustache for how bland he was.
However, it was the cringy lines that docked the most points off for me.
"I know 79 ways to kill a man, and I can make 70 of them look like an accident. Understand?"
It was just ridiculous that this man, who had proper real life experience, would talk like this about someone simply touching her, as well as threatening to burn down parliament? Just too ridiculous.
