“You needn’t look at me in such a manner.”
“In what manner?”
“As though I will force you.”
“You do not wish to… kiss me?”
“What does it matter what I wish? You said no, and I will receive your word as a royal command”
This dialogue AH.
All of the romantic interactions were so well written 

OH MY WORD

I started this book at 6:30 and had it finished in 3 hours. It was so good. 

The King was a genuinely horrible man, and I appreciated that the book didn’t try to make him redeemable to make him act out of character. He was a garbage man and acted like it all throughout the book. 

The enemies to lovers had me hooked, with me actually screaming and crying about what was happening. It was such a nice path from enemies to lovers and it didn’t feel rushed at all, and their ending was honestly one of the best for characters in a book like this. 

It was amazing, and if I could pay to read this book again for the first time I would.
