A sweet, fun and quick romantic read for when you're in a mood for exactly that: a quick romantic read. It also has the bonus of not having love triangles! The POV swtich was jarring, but it helped get perspective on two particularly interesting characters!

I wasn't crazy about how quick the relationship was, which was a week, even pointed out by the female lead herself. :/

I loved this story and it was a brilliant end to the series. This is the story of Meredith and Max, it was great to read about them especially as it was hinted to in the wedding. I loved both of the characters and found the book difficult to put down. The story follows Meredith after the death of her Grandfather and Max supports her. The attraction between them starts to develop with the very funny backdrop of the rest of the royal family. I loved this story, though would have loved if the series hadn't ended. Definitely a series I will read again and recommend. Xxx

Don’t usually rate books this low and it probably doesn’t deserve it but it’s what I felt straight after finishing it. It wasn’t like it was awful but there were too many things that didn’t work for me.

Going in I already knew this book would be less fluffy and warm from the synopsis. Mostly didn’t want to DNF it because I wanted closure by finishing the series (the ending basically unrelated to Max and all about Sam and Alex made it worth it)

I agreed with the choice of using 2 povs. Loved Marty, he was adorable.

The insta love connection didn’t really work in comparison to the tone of some of the issues the characters were dealing with. Too intense and complicated of a situation for it to be believable or get sucked into like the other couples. Did not give of the sponateousy whirlwind vibe as the other books did.

Everything happened waaaaaaaay too fast. They’d known each other for half a week and there was already a proposal. I screamed in shock when that happened out of nowhere.

Mere had every right to want and need to slow things down but didn’t. Max claimed he didn’t like commitment and the limelight and was agreeing to commit to becoming a family with a 6 year old child.

With the resolution and stressful situation of the will was something that didn’t really cause tension because I basically already knew what it was going to have.

The blurb didn’t really match up with the actual events, Mere didn’t try to seduce Max for any gain. She didn’t need him for stability.
