This book is everything to me! 
The chemistry, then tension, the ANGST!! 

This book is a romance book that is set in a fantasy world. It is book 2 in a series but this is a series of interconnected stand alones that can be read in any order, so you do not need to read book 1 in this series before jumping into this one (although I highly recommend Viciously Yours as well). This is a series that read more like a contemporary romance than a fantasy romance and it is perfect for readers that are looking at dipping their toes into Fantasy romance books. 

 Violet is a fae that just wants to live her life, spend time with her friends, hunt for seashells, and make clothes and jewelry. Roman is the prince of the tropical fae court and all he wants is Violet. Unfortunately for him, fate had other things in mind when the name of his fated mate that was whispered to him when he turned 13 wasn’t Violet, but Vivian, Violet’s twin sister. 

 This story is told over the course of 15 years, and I loved watching these characters relationship grow over the years. By the end of this book, I was so invested in this love story that defies fate. I am normally not the biggest fan of friends to lovers stories, but this one was done so well that I absolutely loved it. 

 There is more fantasy plot in this book than there was in Viciously Yours (although it is still very minimal) and I really enjoyed it because I feel like the fantasy elements really elevated this love story. This book was fast paced, and action packed. This is also a book that had a variety of characters from all walks of life that simply lived in harmony together. I also appreciated the mental health representation in this book and found Violet’s journey really relatable. 

 Oh, and did I forget to mention that this book is hilarious? There were multiple instances where I had to set down my kindle because I was laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes and needed a minute to pull myself together. 

 Please go read this book. This is one of my favorite reads of the year so far and I absolutely adored it! 

 I did Beta read this book, but my review is based on my reread of the ARC copy I received from the author.
