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!

Love a forbidden romance, the plot was great and the characters were lovable, >spoiler> third act break up, but unlike with the previous book in the series I did think these characters deserved to be together, how they both fought for each others happiness was also really heartwarming. The smut scenes were not for me but overall a decent read.
