Tempting the Prince by Christi Barth
4.0
This was a super cute read and I absolutely loved the characters and writing style. I love romantic comedy books, so I knew prior to reading it that I would probably get pulled in and be unable to put it down. Boy was I right! The banter between the main characters absolutely killed me (in a good way)! It felt natural and not forced, which I appreciated as sometimes it can come off in a cringe worthy way.
I also really enjoyed that you got to see both sides of the main characters point of view. I normally am not a fan of that, but the author did a really good job of transitioning and making it feel more natural. By doing this, we really got to see the more negative side to being a royal which was enlightening as I feel like many authors tend to focus on the perks and not how difficult of a task it would be to rule a country.
My only negative is that this wasn't really showcased as a third installment of a series but rather a stand alone. Having not read the prior two books, I can definitely say that it would be beneficial to read those as there were times where I felt like I was missing some background and world building which may have been covered in the first two.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! I will definitely be picking up the other two as I am curious to know more about the other characters those focus on and to see the full picture.
