This is the last book in the series and can be read as a standalone. This was such an amazing series! I'm sad to see it end, but so excited for what's coming next!
Bellamy Wilder is on vacation, getting ready for her Nurse Practitioner exam with her brother at her sister-in-law's best friend's private island, when she comes across Prince Rhys Windsor. One thing leads to another and they end up married after having a fun night of drinking. The best part? The King died the same night, making Rhys King and Bellamy Queen, something neither of them is ready for.
I loved the dynamic and energy between Bellamy and Rhys. They knew they didn't love each other, but felt there was something more and decided to give themselves a chance at something amazing.
Rhys Windsor is perfection😍 He knew what to say and when to say it! He was ready to give up his crown for Bellamy(a bit dramatic😅). He's not only a wonderful King, but the perfect husband! The way he handled his father and parliament was honestly hot!🔥🔥
Bellamy is such a beautiful person! In the previous books, she was always so supportive, but also the "crazy" friend of the group. I really enjoyed seeing a more mature and vulnerable side to her. I know she'll do astonishing things as Queen and with her charity work, but I do wish we got to see more of that in this story.
This may have been the last book in the series, but it was a great world building book as well. We met so many amazing characters and I'm excited to read their stories in the future.
