Pros: Better than book 3 & 4 in this series and I always do enjoy a royal wanting to escape their duties and falling in love in the process. That's where the pros end though.

Why did we need the break up scene? With 70 pages we didn't need a break up. The ending where she's so happy to have found a man that was going to fight for her made me eye roll. He ONLY came back because his family told him that he should.

I listened to the audio version of this book and at first I was excited for the accents, but unfortunately the female reader kept switching between accents and messing them up when she did her inner dialogue. At one point Ilaria sounded Scottish.

I've never read Sariah Wilson and I won't let this prevent me from trying one of her other books, maybe she's just not a novella superstar.
