What a delicious read this was!
Secrets had secrets, and plans had plans, and let's not forget about the spice! So much spice!
I really enjoyed making my way through this one. There was so much going on without it being overbearing, which is a testament to the authors storytelling.
The world building was phenomenal, but the characters are what truly pulled this all together. Each one had their own unique personalities, some you love to hate, and some you love to love.
Prince Evy is a new book boyfriend? Hell, YES!!
Both MC's, Camilla & Prince Envy, had perfect arcs both of their own and together. It was delight to see them grow and traverse the challenges they were faced with.
Now, what I will say, and I don't know if this is just because I had a break from reading halfway through the book, but something felt a little off around the halfway/ two thirds mark, like a plot twist that wasn't expected not from the readers perspective, but from the authors. I also wish there was more focus on the plotline than the romance, as I found it to be really intriguing.
Overall though, a great read with some incredible character work. It's a story worthy of sin.
