Great second installment in this fun fantasy-based romance series! Diana is informally engaged to Prince Travers and his faerie aunt has personally invited Diana to his island for the summer to get to know him better. Once there, though, things go from bad to worse very quickly. (The dead fish aren't helping, where's the prince, and what the heck is going on with the faeries?) Sir Jordaan is a knight plagued with a mysterious sleeping sickness, who happens to be staying at the same luxury hotel as Diana. Amidst all of the chaos and intrigue, the attraction grows between Diana and Jordaan. This is definitely not a standalone, as this book relied heavily on knowledge of characters and events from the previous book. There are multiple POVs, a format that also featured heavily in the previous book. These do help to round out and deepen the story but it can be a little confusing at times and there are multiple sub-plots and relationship dynamics/events to follow. I think the author takes a risk with scattering the focus of each book over so many characters. It can be hard to fully appreciate who's supposed to be the main characters of each book since they read more like ensemble pieces. Which in general is fine, but that's not really how the books are described. I liked Diana, she grew on me after the first book and it was nice to see her personality and identity further develop. Jordaan was charismatic and fun but had a nice amount of angst to him too. I loved their dynamic and banter, and the overall level and amount of humor in the story was a bonus. I really enjoyed the angsty denying-their-feelings energy between Diana and Jordaan. It was easy to see where their relationship was headed, there's an HEA but this is a low-steam/high yearn story. There's also a satisfying mystery regarding the faeries that helped keep my interest. That said, I would have liked more page time for Diana and Jordaan together than I got overall. While the romance was definitely there, the story seemed to give equal time to the romance along with other sub-plots (think fantasy with a romantic element vs. a romantasy). I enjoyed this book overall and I highly recommend this series. I'm looking forward to the next installment (per the author's end notes it's going to be Xander and Bertie's second-chance romance).
