So ecstatic that this series has continued! The second installment in this series focuses on Genevieve and picking up after the first book ended. Having the most difficulty dealing with the return of her sister, she wasn’t the fan favorite from the last book, which is why this book was as great as it was. We get to know who Genevieve is as a person and how her princess duties have shaped her life and compassion. Lord Theo is tasked with auditing Genevieve, and after an interaction with her that changed the course of his life many years ago, he has returned to the country with the sole purpose of getting revenge. As these two get to know each other without the titles and occupations, they realize they have sparks and chemistry, and Genevieve makes the decision to be with him regardless of the rules. But when all the secrets come out and the royal family finds yet another person wanting to break them down, they band together and help Genevieve get her HEA. I have become obsessed with this series and this author! I love the storyline and plot and the ongoing story that started with the first book. I can’t wait for the next installment! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This was such a Fantastic read. So entertaining! Christi Barth brought on some awesome hate-flirt in this enemies to lovers romance that had me smiling big time. Loved It! Swoon worthy hero? Check. Strong, determined heroine? Check. Major attitude and animosity? Check. Being in total denial of your feelings? Oh yeah! Princess Genevieve and Lord Theo Holst were so entertaining and awesome together. Their animosity and heat towards one another was off the charts and I loved being absorbed into it all. The conflict they were having made for the best one liners, great verbal sparing and sizzling chemistry. There were just so many great moments between them and I couldn’t get enough. Although I didn’t Love Lord Theo at first, I totally loved his voice and his vibe. He had great internal dialogue and I enjoyed his slightly self deprecating humor and his lonely and tough job hating the royal family which he excelled at. Princess Genevieve was great as well because while she was all about her people and what they needed, her own desires had always been secondary, but after getting closer to her new sister and auditor, Lord Theo she finally shows a different more relaxed and fun side and I loved seeing the different sides of her. These two clash and it’s ridiculously fantastic! I love the bickering and tension. And when they explode, they explode! Loved all their sexy time scenes. Get ready for some serious fun, a whole lot of sweetness and off the charts sexy in this incredibly entertaining story. And don’t forget the hate-flirt! Received a early copy through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
