The fact that J saves her from a loveless controlling family and marriage is brave, but then M has to hide who she truly is from her daughter, which tears her apart. Then when she learns that her granddaughter from her firstborn son is ill, she takes a risk by suggesting to her daughter to see if she can help. And when M finds out that after her daughter K helps her daughter-in-law P they are still in contact she starts to worry as her new world starts to fall to pieces around her after she loses J. I recommend this book to everyone who loves books filled with romance, redemption, secrets, and bravery. I loved it from page one she grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps it through the whole book.

I really enjoyed this book. The description of the plot pulled me in so much I finished this book in a night. The start of the book did not start how I thought it was going to. It was very refreshing to have J save M from a loveless and controlling family. I feel like when M was saved It hurt her to hide who she was. Burying something like that takes a toll on someone but M did a very good job of carrying the burden. I know it got Super hard for M when her granddaughter got sick and that point in the book really helped me connect with M a lot more. I appreciated the bravery of M and how she goes to lengths to help her granddaughter out. It was sad to see her world fall apart after she loses J but the way it changes her and how she grows from it was amazing. I recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, bravery and secrets that changes lives.

An interesting beginning of the story, which begins when the two heroes are already older and when you think that nothing more can happen to them. Wrong.
What surprised me the most was that I suddenly saw the real royal family in the story, if Princess D had survived. Almost all the names had a familiar sound.
The circumstances of the events in the story made sense and I suddenly began to wonder what if the story had really unfolded like this.
But be warned, this is only the first book of this story and continues in the second book,

This book is about a princess who married a prince and was set to be queen. Realizing that the life of royalty wasn’t all it cracked up to be, she starts regretting all her decisions and find herself stuck. Until a man comes along and changes her life forever and sets a spiraling affect of events which eventually leads her to faking her death in order to survive. She lives in peace for a very long time until her old life suddenly starts catching up to her and she’ll have to decide whether her secrets are more important or is protecting her family’s, the new and the old.


I was really interested in this book, it took me awhile to get into because I found it rather slow in the beginning but over all I loved the story and will definitely be reading the next book. I absolutely adored the way Jones treated Myra. It was so sweet. ( I also liked that one of the little girls names was Libby because I love seeing my name in books.) If I had to say anything negative about the book it would probably be that it felt a little rushed toward the end, but over all it was a good book.


( I’ll be posting this on tiktok for my monthly reviews on the last day of April 4-30-23,I was going to review on Goodreads but I can’t seems to find it )

Review in progress and to come.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

I didn’t have trouble starting this book. It was an easy read. Simple language. A sweet love story. A mysterious past. It just left a lot to be desired. It’s extremely hard to write sci-fi/fantasy books in 200ish pages. That doesn’t leave enough space to do world building or even tell a thorough story. The plot is interesting enough and the mystery of their past drags people in. However, it just needs MORE. I don’t know how else to put that. Just more. I truly plan on reading the second book; I just hope that overall it gets thought out more.

I was provided this book as an ARC with the expectation of providing an unbiased review, which is what I’m doing here voluntarily.

This book had a lot of good ideas. I was curious enough to finish it, but didn't really get fully immersed. I liked the difference of an older main character, as opposed to usually younger characters. This opened the family aspect of a mother willing to do anything to save her children and grandbabies.

It was a quick simple read if you want a brainless story. Was very one track and didn't have any big twists or moment of OMG. But still an enjoyable story for someone wanting a quick, basic read with murder, spies, and royal jerks!

Was drawn to this book by the blurb. First time reading from this author and I'm hooked. I'm happy I took a chance on this book because I do recommend it big time. Might reread it later on in the year. Already told a few people that they need to read this book. Will be looking at this authors other books.

This story is really interesting if you are a fan of the UK monarchy. I loved the twisted story about princess Diana, the what if this really happened is really fascinating. The beginning is really difficult because you have no clue what the story is about but when you came to the point where her name is revealed and the kids then your like ohhh that's really a great point of view! The writer did a great job with writing this story and I'm excited about the second book!

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This book was a bit slow for a good majority of the book. However, it picked up towards the end of the book.

I really enjoyed this. I found it very entertaining and fast paced. I especially loved the caring family aspect and how all of the family members were so close and connected especially Myra and Kartas relationship and how Myra is such a great grandmother.
Thank you to netgalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rating: 2.5
Well now this one was a ride. To be honest, I'm not so sure how to feel about this book. So when you read it's not hard to miss that this book is about or was inspired by Princess Diana, and I'm not going to lie, at first I thought it was cool. I am a person who loves learning about the monarchy and about Lady Di and a book inspired by that sounded amazing! But I have to say that this wasn't it for me.

It makes me sad because the truth is in general the idea was great and I was invested on the story and I even read it in one sitting, but I guess I just didn't like how everything was exactly to real life, from the life of the princess, to the continuation of the monarchy, the names of the characters and there was even a pandemic! It was like grabbing the real events and history of the British monarchy from Princess Diana time, til date and adding a bunch of fantasy and intergalatic things. Which okay maybe I could've forgirven, but there's also a significant lack of world building and the writing was okay enough.

The idea was good and it was there but it just wasn't enough. Yet, I do have to say that I loved Jones and the kids where adorable.

I like the storyline with all the secrets and problems and how the main character has to switch between her two families.

For me it was a little bit wired to read a book, which is written in the first person narrator of an old woman, who already has children and grandchildren, because I am only a student.
