This one had it all. Wicked stepfathers, evil politicians, tarnished hero princes, kidnappings, fake marriages, it was all going down in this book. Shaker and Keegan’s relationship was sort of a friends to lovers, marriage of convenience sort of set up, but I actually liked them together. Shaker wasn’t filled with an abundance of maturity but it was fine, Keegan was ultimately a delight and might be the best heroine so far in this series. I found Shaker’s relationship/intimacy phobia at the beginning an interesting plot angle that I feel wasn’t explored or used in the story enough. That said, out of the 5 books I’ve read so far in this series, this is probably the one I think is the best.
