Thank you to Valentine PR for providing me with a copy of this book; all opinions are my own.

I did not think I would like this book so color me surprised to rate it a solid 4 stars. This was just pure entertainment. Pure entertainment. Does it make sense? Sort of. Kind of. Moderately, but I would read it again just because I had a blast.

Quick Synopsis: Adeline is a princess of England and as such has duties and responsibilities to the crown and her family that she simply does not want to fulfill such as marrying a man she doesn’t love simply because her father wants her to. Enter Josh, the sexy Hollywood movie star who is immediately taken with her and she with him, but it’s a struggle to make it work when both are the object of all paparazzi desires and the world can’t know about their affairs, and neither can her family.

Trigger warnings: death of a family member, attempted assassination, assasination, death, stalking, troubled familial relationships, parental neglect, parental emotional abuse

What I liked:
-I liked how much I did not expect to like this novel, but did.
-At first, I thought Adeline was just another heroine that says she’s “such a rebel” but doesn’t back it up; what’s great for us though, is that Adeline is in fact a rebel and it’s fantastic.
-The banter between Josh and Adline is absolutely A+ top tier banter; exquisite.
-The relationship between Josh and Adline is really engaging. There is currently a lot of conversation about men who are strong enough and secure enough in themselves and in their manhood to be able to make a woman feel like she is safe enough to be submissive, and I believe that’s the dynamic we have here: Josh is able to make Adeline feel so safe she doesn’t have to dominate him, but can rather submit to him.
-The ending is absolutely wild, bananas, insane.
-I really enjoyed the scenes where we get info specifically about paparazzi because I think it sparks a conversation around how harmful they can be for the people they’re stalking.

What I struggled with:
-The storyline is wild and all over the place. It’s like a soap opera which is equal parts great and also unbelievable to an extreme sometimes.
-The ending was so much. There were so many reveals I was a little overwhelmed.
-There is a scene where Adeline is riding her horse and well, I’m a rider, and some of it either didn’t make sense/didn’t seem accurate from my experience. Nit-picky, but here we are.

I did not like the This Man series by this author, but I genuinely did enjoy this one.

I love this book, it had me turning the pages to find out what happens next, I love Adeline, she is strong, confident and defiant, she won't listen to anyone, not until the day she met Josh, the American actor that swept her off her feet and melted her heart, the chemistry between them is electrifying, not what you would expect from a princess. The other members of the family and staff stops it from being boring and add more to the story, I adore Damon, he is loyal to Adeline.

all I can say is thank god I have book 2 to carry on reading. well done JEM another brilliant story.

I've read better romance novels. Only reason this gets 3 stars is because of that fucking wild ride of an ending. Now I'm gonna HAVE to read the second book to see how it all ends.
