I honestly didn’t like it as much as I thought it would. It definitely lost me for a minute there and caught myself skimming once I got to like 65%. I can’t put my finger on any dislikes though.

I wasn’t too big of a fan of the majority of the book, I felt like it was repetitive and dragged on but I like how the ending wrapped it up so that helped redeem the book a little for me. It very much was not my style and there were certain scenes and descriptions I could have done without personally. The characters weren’t very interesting to me and none of the characters besides the main two were fleshed out characters. The relationship between Rhys and Bridget seemed toxic because they relied on each other too much and </spoiler he drinks alcohol for the first time when they get separated from each other which is completely out of character, but at least it didn’t continue after that> There is also something mentioned in the book that was never brought up again, but I’m assuming that’s for the fourth book.

3.5⭐

I really liked this book, it was cute and had holesome and heart fluttering scenes, but I thought it had way too many sex scenes and it could have been a lot shorter. There were times that I would just get bored and didn't want to keep on reading but at the end it was fine, nothing to exceptional but not ordinary either. Above average but not much.

He is way too possesive and the relationship is super toxic. Hoped for something else.

If you are looking for a book with plot and steam and enemies to lovers and a hot book boyfriend named Rhys then yes you are in the right place. This also includes royals, real juicy scenes that put you in a chokehold when reading and great power dynamics. Let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed!!

This was sweet. Rhys' description was unrealistic and I found it too fast paced to get any real relationship building in the first half. Towards the end it felt like we were scrambling to tie up the lose ends because they didn't really make sense with the storyline.
It was enjoyable but it was lacking in plot planning and proper foreshadowing, in my opinion.
