It was enjoyable but it was lacking in plot planning and proper foreshadowing, in my opinion.

I adored Twisted Love so I flew right into this book. Knowing it was going to be the least relatable. But yet I was I excited because it's a similar story to Young Royals except adult level maturity and very straight relationship. I will say the age gap automatically impacted this rating to.
Both Bridget and Rhys were often the exact type of people you expected them to be. And it was very boring sometimes throughout the storyline. That said they both are very plain, messy characters that deserved each other. For mor e than one reason I'm glad I finished this one and can move on to Twisted Hated and Lies.

Bridget is a strong minded sunshine who dreams of falling in love one day. She is suddenly thrust into the line of succession when her brother abdicates the throne. Rhys is a brooding and possessive grump who happens to develop a soft spot for princess Bridget after several years of being responsible for keeping her safe as her bodyguard.
I really loved Bridget and Rhys’ story, ughh. This book felt long but for all the right reasons, it was a journey and I loved living said journey alongside these characters. It didn’t feel rushed like some other instant-love romance books and I loved that about it. It happens over a realistic timeframe across several years, and the multiple POV gave us both of their inner monologues so we got to see the attraction grow for each of them in real time. And I am OBSESSED with the two of them together.
At times this book was cute as hell, and at others it was incredibly steamy🥵. And boy does this book provide quotes to die for in both the cute bracket AND the steamy bracket, holy moly!
Would recommend, so much better than the first book of this series.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
