I did not expect to like this book as much as I did.  I liked Harper as the main character - she was spunky but not annoying or overly reckless.  Rhen was appropriately the tortured prince - again he was the right blend of angst and princely authority.  Grey definitely pulled of the strong and silent type well.  My only issue

was the romance between Harper and Rhen felt way to forced - he spends half the book not speaking to her but suddenly she is dedicated to falling in love with him?? I thought she and Grey had more in common and better chemistry than she and Rhen.  It bugs me because there were so many opportunities to create closeness, or show a development in their relationship but they were squandered in favor of one night where suddenly they both want to love each other.

Overall a fun read, loved it for some easy escapism in the early summer.
