This is a princess falls in love with bodyguard book, with the nice twist of her brother abdicating the throne for the same crime of falling in love with someone without noble blood.
I really enjoyed the tension and slow burn, and when the spice did hit, it hit really well. I personally found the sex scenes well written, and enjoyed the rough descriptions. However, that's not to say that this was without its flaws.
Like Twisted Love, there were a number of clichéd and contrived plots, but not nearly to the same extent. The villain may as well have twisted their mustache for how bland he was.
However, it was the cringy lines that docked the most points off for me.
"I know 79 ways to kill a man, and I can make 70 of them look like an accident. Understand?"
It was just ridiculous that this man, who had proper real life experience, would talk like this about someone simply touching her, as well as threatening to burn down parliament? Just too ridiculous.
