A rebellious rebel man, and a virgin Queen - what could they possibly have in common? The Dowager Queen hopes nothing, but just enough that her granddaughter, the Queen, will agree to marry him. Celeste, the Dowager Queen is controlling, and Queen Alexandra will do anything in her power to get out from under her spell, including thinking about marrying. 
"I could find a man who would let me be me and would mostly keep to himself, I Could tolerate it."
Watching Rick and Alex get to know each other in this book is a struggle. Their energies are so similar to each other, but they don't realize it. They mesh so well, but they're both so stubborn and doing it for what they think are the right reasons. Watching them grow together was an enjoyable journey!
"He was a kind-hearted asshole."
It took me no time to read this book - while it took me a chapter or two to get into it, once I got to know the characters I was absolutely rooting for the FMC & MMC to get their happy ending and throw Celeste out. 
"Her candour surprised me. It was also kind of hot."
I received an advanced copy and these are my honest thoughts. Thank you to Maude Winters
