This was the worst one.

I loved Mikaela so its such a shame she helped to release those pictures.

Absolutely love how they managed to change the laws and she could still be queen. And i love how Alex helped Bridget like she helped him!!

Slow start! Loved the storyline of the two characters. The different aspect of royalty and the barriers that come with being in line to the throne was an interesting concept to read. The book has spice and it worked well with the characters. Loved the book <3

I really liked the tension of this one. Rhys is a contract bodyguard hired to protect the Princess Bridget of Eldorra as she finishes university in the U.S. Bridget is used to having a level of freedom while Rhys does everything By. The. Book. But just as sparks are beginning to fly, Bridget's brother, the Crown Prince, abdicates, leaving her as a heir to the throne. And Eldorran law is clear. The heir must marry someone of noble birth. What's a princess and her bodyguard to do?

The romance is dark and possesive, flirting with D/S dynamincs, though they never call it that exactly.

I didn’t believe others when they said that this is their favourite book in the series but after reading it I can successfully say they were right. I loved the whole story and the emotional rollercoaster this book took me through. So thank you to Ana for writing yet another amazing book.
