A forbidden, royal, body guard, slow burn, enemies to lovers romance? Absobloodylutely yes please!
Bridget is a strong minded sunshine who dreams of falling in love one day. She is suddenly thrust into the line of succession when her brother abdicates the throne. Rhys is a brooding and possessive grump who happens to develop a soft spot for princess Bridget after several years of being responsible for keeping her safe as her bodyguard.
I really loved Bridget and Rhys’ story, ughh. This book felt long but for all the right reasons, it was a journey and I loved living said journey alongside these characters. It didn’t feel rushed like some other instant-love romance books and I loved that about it. It happens over a realistic timeframe across several years, and the multiple POV gave us both of their inner monologues so we got to see the attraction grow for each of them in real time. And I am OBSESSED with the two of them together.
At times this book was cute as hell, and at others it was incredibly steamy🥵. And boy does this book provide quotes to die for in both the cute bracket AND the steamy bracket, holy moly!
Would recommend, so much better than the first book of this series.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

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!
