There were so many iconic lines from this book.  It was an entertaining read, it was funny, angsty, and spicy.  The characters had depth to their personalities and while the plot wasn’t what I was expecting it kept my interest.

There were a few parts that made me question how this book was going to end before grabbing the good old plot twists.  The reveal to Rhys dad was not expected but was a nice plot twist.

I feel very similarly about this book as I did twisted love. Probably because the characters are literally the exact same people

This books very much gives Princess Diaries 2 and I’m here for it! I was a bit nervous to read this one because I’ve heard the series gets better as it goes, but I’m not a big fan of a slow burn. But that really didn’t matter I loved it so much! I was obsessed with Rhys obviously and I liked Bridget more than expected too! Tbh I don’t know why I thought I wasn’t going to love this because it has consumed my every thought for the past 5 days! I think it would’ve been 5 stars if not for the classic 3rd act breakup type shit but I really wasn’t even that mad given the context lol

A forbidden, royal, body guard, slow burn, enemies to lovers romance? Absobloodylutely yes please!
Bridget is a strong minded sunshine who dreams of falling in love one day. She is suddenly thrust into the line of succession when her brother abdicates the throne. Rhys is a brooding and possessive grump who happens to develop a soft spot for princess Bridget after several years of being responsible for keeping her safe as her bodyguard.
I really loved Bridget and Rhys’ story, ughh. This book felt long but for all the right reasons, it was a journey and I loved living said journey alongside these characters. It didn’t feel rushed like some other instant-love romance books and I loved that about it. It happens over a realistic timeframe across several years, and the multiple POV gave us both of their inner monologues so we got to see the attraction grow for each of them in real time. And I am OBSESSED with the two of them together.
At times this book was cute as hell, and at others it was incredibly steamy🥵. And boy does this book provide quotes to die for in both the cute bracket AND the steamy bracket, holy moly!
Would recommend, so much better than the first book of this series.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.
