The road to love isn't ever easy. Genesis has a very traumatic past and lying is a deal breaker. Rafe has his reasons for deceit, but isn't able to explain them. And all that leads us to a very emotionally charged story of love, determination, and growth.

This story checks all the boxes for me:

☑️royalty
☑️reality tv
☑️swoon and magnificent chemistry
☑️challenges to overcome
☑️fierce persistence
☑️multi-dimensional characters

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Content: flashbacks to cult life/child abuse (not overly graphic); mild language; mild+ romance

This book is the third of the series and had the least interesting premise. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me to the third book to realize that all the characters are the same, and I ended up feeling cheated by the whole series. The first book was the best, being a fun, Cinderella-esque, story. But they all got too steamy for my taste. Wouldn't recommend the series. It's like eating a stale twinkie. You eat it cause it's there, but feel blah afterward.

Thanks to Netgalley for the book in exchange for an honest review.

the writing was terrible and stilted. DNF.
