⚠️ spoiler warning ⚠️
💭 So is there a limit to how much spice a book can have without it just being repetitive and boring? yes, yes there is and this book was it.
💭 Savage Prince actually had a fairly interesting plot, but this book just didn't deliver it to its fullest potential, unfortunately. It was both very rushed but also far too long in it's delivery. Perhaps if at least 5 spicy scenes were cut and plot was actually written, it would have felt worth it.
💭 Yes, I understand this book is a romance; however, even romance books need to have more than two characters sleeping with each over every second page. Once the FMC and MMC started sleeping together, absolutely nothing happened for so long. I skipped many pages because the sex was just too repetitive.
💭 For two characters who seemingly hate one another, it sure did not seem like it. I would have liked more development on this angst but they both just dropped their issues with one another after they saw each other naked. He did a shitty thing to her (no matter how the author justified it), and he hated her family for a murder. Also Rose never even questioned Aidan why his family hated her father/her family so much? Wouldn't this be the first thing you do when the man you're being forced to marry suddenly has a soft spot for you? Idk, I'd like to know.
💭 I kept reading because I wanted to see who actually murdered the dad, and what happened in that respect. But honestly, wasn't worth it!
