🌶️🌶️.5/5.

I was glued to my kindle. Conspiracy against the crown? Check! A fierce fmc with a prickly exterior but with a kind heart? Check! A mmc who had no other choice that accepted what the queen demanded but ultimately falls in love with his new wife? Also check!
I loved Sophie & Nash together.

Nash wasn’t excited to be forced into a marriage but he sought out to make the most of it from the very beginning and while Sophie made it very hard at first, he didn’t gave up. I liked that about him. He just couldn’t help but be enamored by her because she isn’t like the other ladies in the ton.

Sophie had a bone to pick with Nash since she was 15 and unbeknownst to Nash, he broke her heart but now they are married. Sophie struggled because she found it hard to let herself love again because he was careless once even though he didn’t view her like that when they were younger. 
The beauty of this story was seeing Sophie let herself trust again and hope that Nash would take care of her heart.

Nash decision to help his friend’s daughter without telling Sophie was very unnecessary imo. Just why would he subject himself to it all when he knew how hard it was for Sophie to let him in. There were other things happening so I don’t think it was necessary.
Alas he repented for his dumb decision and I like that Sophie didn’t give in right away but it also frustrated me a bit.

The whole conspiracy thing took a turn I wasn’t expecting at all but I liked it. I’m kind of sad for Merrit though but I hope I’ll see him again in the future.
