Cute read, story was a bit discombobulated but the more you read the easier it became to follow, I didn’t love the hero & heroine in the beginning but they also grew on me as the story continued.

The description of this book is what appealed to me. (Although, the cover didn't hurt anything!) This is my first book by this author, but it is not the first book in the series. I do feel it can be read as a standalone.
This is the story of Thorne and Nova. There families have been enemies forever and now Thorne is being forced to marry either Nova or her sister since his uncle died and he has to be King of the country his father fled. He has o do this in order to keep the alliance together so Nova's family doesn't kill his family.
Obviously he chooses Nova who is sweet and strong - unlike her family members.
Luckily for these two, they have real chemistry. Nova has been 'in love' with Thorne ever since she first met him. Thorne doesn't remember that first interaction, but he definitely likes her now, 6 months later, when they meet after Nova helps someone who stole her purse.
I highly recommend this sweet love story. :)

LOVED this book! This is my favorite book in the series (and the first two were awesome). I loved learning more about Hawthorne and his difficult relationship with his father. Nova is also an interesting character as the Valentine that just doesn't seem to belong. Even better, was learning the story behind the hidden princes. I thoroughly enjoyed their story.

If you love sexy romance with a side of dirty, you will love this book. The author is a master story-teller and makes her characters come alive from the page. She is on my must read authors' list.
