eliezrah's review against another edition

Wow! I love all Ed Davies books, but this is my favorite by far. It was impossible not to immediately fall in love with Wren, and I loved seeing how he grew through the story. The writing kept me captivated so much that I didn't put the book down.
This was the first book I read in the new Rosavia Royal series, since they can be read in any order, and I'm excited to read the others. Most of the authors of this series have written the Men of Hidden Creek series together, and they did a phenomenal job with that, so I know this will be fantastic as well. I love the idea that all 5 books take place at the sane time, and I'm looking forward to seeing familiar characters and events throughout each book in the series.
ETA after reading all 5 books: I really loved how all 5 authors had bits & pieces from each other's books without giving anything away. I also love how they each kept the other brother's personality & quirks when they wrote them into their books. If you didn't know each book was written by a different author you wouldn't be able to tell, they all flowed that well together.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.

The characters, especially Wren, has more depth than what is shown in public. He brazenly flirts with his valet, Thom, who is an older man and who's been hurt by someone similar to Wren in his past. But as Thom starts to see what Wren is hiding deep inside, he takes Wren in hand and their relationship soon develops into something more. A good read!

After reading the first book in the series I was hesitant to read another, I skipped the three other books and went with this one instead and I was very happily proven wrong. I really enjoyed this one and felt like it was the perfect mix of hot and sexy and sweet and caring.
The two main characters are so well suited for each other and I loved them both. I loved the dynamic between them and I definitely loved the sexy scenes!

I was excited to get to Wren's story. I've liked his snark since the beginning, and I'm so glad to see that the bratty prince maintained that attitude all the way through. This one was loads of fun, and I loved the build-up as our young prince pushed all of Thom's buttons. I don't read much daddy dom romance; it's just not my thing. That said, I don't have anything major against it, and if I'm enjoying the story, that part doesn't bother me. That was the case here. I just loved these characters and I really didn't care if Wren called Thom Santa as long as they were together. They have that much chemistry. So, this last story in the Rosavia Royals is engaging and fun, it has plenty of snark and wit, and sexy - did I mention that it's sexy? These guys are hot enough to steam up my glasses. Wren and Thom are a great way to wrap up this series, even if it is a little bittersweet to say goodbye. I've enjoyed all the princes' romances, and I can't imagine a better bunch of authors to pull this one together.

This book displayed a slow romance, with a lot of flirting in the beginning. We have Thom who has personal trauma to figure out - I would have liked it if that part would have been more detailed or long, but without it, we have the angst-free book this series has given to us.
I must say, I felt bad for Ben when everyone depicted him as a playboy with no real hard work in his life when it's not like that, but I guess his point in creating his facade is to keep attention away from him, and it works.
I liked the ending where Wren sees all his brothers and partners together at Leo's wedding. It was a good image for the epilogue of this series.

A sweet low-angst, daddy/boy royal romance.
Thom has been there for years, guiding Wren through life in general and his royal duties but it's recently become more as feelings and attraction develop for both men. It's unconventional with Thom being Prince Renford's valet and Thom has been burned before with a person in a position of power turning against him. However, Wren knows exactly who and what he wants and is willing to wait for their time. It's interesting, how having the right person guiding you can help step up into adulthood and you really can tell the influence that Thom has on Wren, especially once they start a relationship. He develops a grown up attitude and coping mechanisms and it's definitely helped with knowing he gets a reward if he behaves! They are such a perfect match regardless or because of their differences in age/experience/status. We've got a bratty prince equally balanced with the firm, dominant daddy valet. Love shines through from them both but they are just as aware of the risk of not being accepted by the royals and the public at large.
This was definitely an enjoyable read and there are great hints of the possible stories for the other princes in the series.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

I really liked it! It took me a few chapters to get into it but once I did it was really easy to feel immersed and like the characters made sense.
I really felt like the pacing of the whole book was good and it had a very satisfying ending that didn't feel contrived or forced.
I also really connected with how the BDSM aspect unfolded, as it reminded me of experiences that I've had.
I'm pretty fussy about what I like in terms of sexual content in a romance and I was very pleasantly surprised that I was very happy with how this book paced and presented it.
I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author!

Not bad.
The writing was easy to follow and the characters were likeable.
I guess you have to like this kind of kink, but it wasn't my thing.
