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.

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need

a happy ending

then this book is for you.

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.

Got a bit bored towards the last 20% but I enjoyed this nonetheless. There were some bits that needed editing (like the same word repeated twice in a row in a sentence) but overall a major improvement compared to the first book.
