Royal romances sometimes feel like a dime a dozen, but only a rare few hit the mark. This is one of those. And why? Bc it’s so real. The author hasn’t fumbled the form and function of the British monarchy. Our hero has the kind of charm you would expect from a prince but remains reserved in a way that feels realistic to someone of his station. And our commoner heroine has a strong sense of self and, well, a backbone - something that so many contemporary MF authors do imbue their FMCs with. 

And even though this one is on the longer side it somehow moves at a brisk pace so that we see the full scope of the relationship from beginning to marriage without it ever feeling tedious. And yes, some plot threads are dropped and some of the side characters are really more a sketch than something tangible, but at the core both the MCs are very well drawn, with some comedic relief from Bella’s parents and a really good friend in Lotte. 

This is for sure an all time fave MF royal romance for me. Highly recommend!
