Oh Harlequin publishing, you guys find the best authors who write wonderfully sweet romantic stories. I loved this sweet royal marriage of convenience. Breanna is so selfless and all King Sebastian has known is duty to the crown.

Finding their path towards one another wasn’t quick and easy, but Breanna’s persistence showed Sebastian there is more to life than the crown. 💙💙💙. If you like sweet, closed doors and royal stories. This one is for you!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was ok. As it is 'just' a series Harlequin, I wasn't expecting much and didn't get much, but it was still entertaining. It's not the first in the series, so there were some things that would have made more sense if I'd read the previous book.

For a Harlequin “Royal” theme, I don’t think I ever read a Hero selecting his heroine from a Lottery – not that heroine won anyway, but she was still selected as his Queen. 🤷

So Hero needs to get married and select a Queen to take the throne. Heroine has an identical twin and sacrifices herself to protect her from their grasping parents who covet aristocratic titles. Anyway, this is your typical marriage of convenience trope with a grumpy Hero and a sunshine heroine.

I was given an advanced copy but NetGalley and Publisher for an honest review.

So this book... what can I say about it.

Arranged marriage, grumpy sunshine, king and a commoner. It hits all the tropes right on the head. For that I commend it. But I did find it getting a little boring right in the saggy middle. Other than that, and the confusing references to the first book which I did not read, I enjoyed it.
