Ooh, good gracious!  I absolutely loved this book, much more than the first in the series.  We follow Bridget, the newly-appointed crown princess of Eldorra, and her bodyguard Rhys.  I was a huge fan of the spice in this book, but even more impressed with the storyline.

Bridget and Rhys started off rocky, but eventually fall into a comfortable rhythm.  Soon enough, they begin to realize their feelings - although they can never have a truly happy ending.

Eldorra has an ancient law that forces the royals to marry someone of noble blood to take the throne.  As they navigate sneaking around and Bridget’s impending coronation, they quickly realize their time together will soon be ending.

Both unable to accept that, Bridget and Rhys take on a daring quest to repeal the Royal Marriages Law and finally allow themselves to be selfishly happy.

I got the exact ending I wanted from this book, and I appreciate every bit of it!

This books very much gives Princess Diaries 2 and I’m here for it! I was a bit nervous to read this one because I’ve heard the series gets better as it goes, but I’m not a big fan of a slow burn. But that really didn’t matter I loved it so much! I was obsessed with Rhys obviously and I liked Bridget more than expected too! Tbh I don’t know why I thought I wasn’t going to love this because it has consumed my every thought for the past 5 days! I think it would’ve been 5 stars if not for the classic 3rd act breakup type shit but I really wasn’t even that mad given the context lol

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.
