I wanted to read this book because I am patiently waiting to hear about any of Talia’s new work. I decided to try and read some of her old work and saw The Princess Trap all over the book community and released it was a part of a series even though the characters don’t intertwine. I was interested to see if this book was better than the Princess Trap and it didn’t live up to my standards. The Brown Sisters are just unbeatable.

This book has two points of view. The first is Nik Christou, he is a footballing legend, and he has led a charmed life. He is rich, successful, and internationally adored. No woman or man has ever rejected him until a tattooed goddess blow his mind and captures his hear with just one kiss and now, he is in love. But she is not interested. The second point of view is Aria Granger, she has always been distrustful of men and has a disdain of love. Her tongue is as sharp as her winged eyeliner. She knows from experience that Nik, like any smoking-hot himbo with bags of cash, is too good to be true – so she’s determined to send this walking temptation packing. Fortunately, Nik’s devised the perfect strategy to win his woman . . . what could possibly go wrong?

I will always love Talia Hibbert and how she manages to write diverse characters, serious subjects, sexuality and mental health. I love her for it. A bisexual footballer, who is just all in love and shy – yet is like a horny teenager around Aria. A plus-sized black tattoo artist, who knows exactly what she wants and is nervous and damaged from a previous experience. I love these two characters individually. I liked the character development that happened individually.

I just felt like this book was a bit rushed compared to the previous work and I really didn’t enjoy the insta-love connection. I just thought Nik was a bit effing for how he came out with the truth. I would have liked the ex-boyfriend of Aria to be explored more as it was only briefly mentioned and then the weird almost conflict with one of Nik’s friends with the homophobia, I would have loved that to be explored more because Aria just went down his throat and that was the end of it.

I will carry on reading Talia Hibbert’s work old or new no matter what and hopefully I will enjoy the next book I read.
