Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC, in exchange for my honest review.

What do you get when you cross a spoiled playboy prince and a privileged rich girl? A slow-burn modern day royal romance and entertaining read! First off, by slow burn I mean there’s no sex. But trust me, this story isn’t lacking in intimacy. Gale may be a spoiled prince, but he’s completely swoon-worthy, charming, and very romantic. Odette is strong, smart, and talented. She keeps Gale on his toes. The marriage is arranged, but Gale and Odette take the opportunity to get to know each other. They become friends first. There’s lots of talking and getting to know one another and many stolen kisses. I love the relationship Gale has with his siblings. It’s very wholesome and trustworthy with lots of witty banter. Odette and her stepsister get along great and are there for each other, despite they’re battling mothers. This story is so refreshing, romantic, and fun. And gah, the cliffhanger! I need the second book right now! J.J. McAvoy is an amazing writer. Her talent shines through in this novel. She writes her story in a way that allows the characters, and readers, to truly know each character. Which makes the slow-burn that much better and the cliffhanger that much more epic!

“You are forever. That is the difference.”

4 swoon worthy stars!
