And it just keeps getting better!! I absolutely loved X in this book. And I loved that we finally got a couple of chapters from his POV. Clara and X have so much to work through, but I loved watching them finally start truly fighting for each other.

“But the problem with fairytales is that people only remembered the love story and forgot the twisted beasts and evil witches lurking in the shadows. Happily ever afters weren’t easily won, they were fought for, and the oldest of these stories didn’t often end prettily.”

This was me at the beginning and end of this book. I was beside myself when CONQUER ME showed up on my Kindle. I was desperate to see what Clara was going to do about Alexander. Was she willing to be his secret or was she really going to walk away. And after getting to the last page, the clapping happened again.

Geneva Lee managed to do something that very rarely happens with me. She made me fall in love with Alexander all over again. X captured my attention on a Virgin Atlantic flight from London to New York this summer. He was an overbearing, domineering ass, but there was something about X, aka Alexander, that compelled me to like him. Then love him and Clara together. But in CONQUER ME, we get more than the domineering X. We get Alexander, the man who lost his mother and sister, has the weight of a responsibility he doesn't want on his shoulder, and longs to have someone love and understand him...demons and all.

I was glad to see Clara standing up for herself and what she wants. No one deserves to be a secret, even if that means being the secret lover to the future King of England. She stood her ground and quickly found out exactly how much she means to X. But she didn't stop there. She stood up to her parents and even the King to protect her relationship with Alexander and the man she loves. It was refreshing to see her grow and not fall back on her old issues to deal with everything that was thrown at her.

I love this couple together and I can't wait until February when we get the conclusion to their story. If you haven't heard of Geneva Lee, you need to pick up the 2 books in the Royals Saga (COMMAND ME is book one). Clara and Alexandra are incredibly hot and sexy and worth every minute you spend with them.
