This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. If you follow me then you know that I am a HUGE fan of Aven's writing. So when Aven asked if I would beta read this book I was super excited. I loved the first two books in this series and I've been waiting for Xander's story for what feels like forever! Of course, Prince Xander couldn't just have any girl he needed the right girl and that girl is Poppy!

Poppy Davies is the girl we all want to be. She is strong, independent and she fights for what she wants. Poppy Davies is the girl that we can all aspire to be. She fights for not only herself but her friends too.

If you have read the first 2 books then you would have met Xander. A cheeky playboy who's got a reputation. But in this book, we get to know the real Xander. The one who puts those he loves above everything. The one who has the responsibility of being the future King! Oh, Xander! I fell for Xander very early on in this book. He is so much more than the playboy the papers make him out to be.

Aven's writing always manages to capture my heart. I get drawn into not only the characters but the locations, the fashion, the whole world. Aven does such detailed research and it comes across in the book. Even down to the little things.

I love, love, love the squad. They are there for each other through everything. They only want each other to be happy. It's such a rare thing that it's something we all covet. I love their banter and their witty comebacks all said with love.

This is a perfect love story. It's filled with ups and downs. Laughter and tears. If you need a real pick me up then grab this book now!
