But someone once told me we always end up where we're meant to be, and this is where I'm meant to be. With you.

I'm really not lying when I say I SUFFERED. This book was much worse than the previous one, no character development or personality, the plot was flat and boring. To be honest, this was not my book (though I thought it would be). 

By the way, Bridget was a lovable main character (despite the fact that she was very much like Ava), she was really able to act like a queen at the end. But my good Lord there was Rhys. It seems like I'll never be friends with the Rhysands, but there it is. I literally can't love anything about him, he was just so annoying that I've already sobbed to the wall. 

The love story was *drum roll* secret dating, which was horribly executed, I don't like this trope in general, but I especially didn't like it here. I'm not a big fan of erotica and there was a disproportionate amount of it in this book. The mysteries (if you can call them that) and Rhys' origins were very obvious to me. I know you don't have to expect much in a book like this, but I would have been happy if there weren't so few suspects to choose from.

Like the previous book, this one was full of clichés and commonly used elements. But pins points for the fact that the others also appeared on occasion and for the few jokes.

He is way too possesive and the relationship is super toxic. Hoped for something else.

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need
a happy ending
then this book is for you.

If you are looking for a book with plot and steam and enemies to lovers and a hot book boyfriend named Rhys then yes you are in the right place. This also includes royals, real juicy scenes that put you in a chokehold when reading and great power dynamics. Let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed!!

This book is one of my favorites. A slow-burn forbidden love between a royal and her bodyguard!? Are you kidding me!? An absolutely thrilling book that is very easy to get transported into. I found myself feeling the characters feeling, and rooting for them the entire time. I’m a sucker for slow-burn, and this book takes. the. cake. A seriously underrated read, I would highly recommend anyone (of age, of course) to read this book, regardless of your stance on smut (if you really hate it, it’s not hard to skip over and still enjoy the book!) Overall, a fantastic book with twists and turns but ultimately with a happy ending. If I could give it better than a 5, I would!
