This ARC was received by NetGalley & Victory Editing so thank you for the early release. 

I was very, VERY excited to explore the knight x princess trope which is similar to the bodyguard trope. Also, I’m a sucker for fated mates and dragon shifters, too. The tension between Raelen and Alina was smoking hot. Sounds silly but I swear this book got me hooked on the knight x princess trope and I need MORE! Also, it was a dual pov so reading how Raelen was doing everything in his power to resist Alina, but still wanted to protect her just added more to the tension between the two. 

I wish it explored more about the history between dragon shifters and Alina’s kingdoms. Also, I felt like certain side characters like Yuki (Alina’s familiar) were intended to be important, but kind forgotten. Because I got a little excited about Alina having a familar. And because it was a fated mate romance, I do wish it explored more of their relationship outside of them being fated mates. It felt very insta-love. But overall, it was a very sweet & cozy romantsy.
