Loved the premise and the characters, but I think it's going too slow and I don't love the setting of the boat. I might go back/ skim around, but for now I'm not interested

This was a pretty fun adventurous rom com romp. I really liked Bez and Makeda and their slow-burn romance. There is a ship journey, that honestly took up a little too much of the book for me. Their third act conflict was also frustrating, and the twist at the end fell a little flat to me.

A long lost princess, a body guard and one adventure that brings them closer then they thought they would have to be.

Makeda’s mom grew up telling her stories of how she was a long lost princess. She thought it was all fairytales. But one day Bez, an investigator from the small country of Ibarania comes to tell Makeda that it might be true.

This was a great love story with banter, forced proximity, fake dating and the bodyguard trope. Plus the slow burn leading up to the spice was 🥵

There was also wonderful rep in this book! Bipoc mc’s, and side characters. A bad ass neurodivergent pansexual investigator, and lesbian rep.

This is a slowburn, contemporary romance that I just loved. I will say, overall, slowburns are not my favorite, but there was such a good payoff in this book that made it all worth it. Makeda and Beznaria are such a good opposites attract couple, and I loved the emphasis on really diving into the fact that the purpose of emotional and intellectual boundaries is supposed to make you and the person happy that you are both receiving a balanced feedback from the relationship. Just delightful and warm and delightfully free of a third-act breakup.
