Feb. 2, 2020, review: Reread for The Lusty Intellectuals podcast and because why not? Water is wet. I still love Nya and Johan.
July 4, 2019, review: (I didn't realize this had been marked read already. THANKS, KINDLE!)
Still love this book and this whole series. I keep finding new stuff to love about it with each reread. This go-around got me especially hyped for Shanti and Sanyu's story. We know something wonky is going on between them and I. Want. Details.
May 1, 2019, review: Of course I was going to reread this once it was released. I love, love, love this book. Nya's character development and growth after dealing with a lifetime of her father's mental abuse nearly had me crying. Johan's protectiveness of the things he loves had me melting. I love both these characters so much and they must be protected. <3
I did the audiobook this time around and ... two stars. I don't know if I just really love this story and have sky-high expectations for its performance or if she's just a lackluster narrator. Whatever it is, we don't click.
Original review: Look, y'all, I have been thirsting for this book since last July, when Johan made his splashy appearance in [b:A Duke by Default|35564582|A Duke by Default (Reluctant Royals, #2)|Alyssa Cole|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1516640638l/35564582._SY75_.jpg|56993493] as Tav's royalty mentor. Portia called him a "fuckboy with a heart of gold" and I fell in love.
The teaser alone checked all my boxes: A sharp-witted rake who plays dumber and flightier than he really is falling for a shy wallflower who's decided she's done fading into the background? Opposites attracting opposites while carrying on a fake relationship? A ROYAL WEDDING? Sign.
