My second Shane East this week lol. This was cute! I liked their dynamic. I liked the way Hathor was truly a bad bitch in every conversation. I loved her as a lead. Her prince was okay. I'm glad that his own self destruction didn't become too much of an issue here, but honestly the

assassination attempt

was so weird to me and at that point I my soul was kind of whipped out of the story. The last 1/4 was not my favorite and so my rating felt like it plummeted just from that. I think this story was just a little bit too long. But overall cute even though it was giving regency written with 2020 dialogue lol. The family dynamics here are so cute and were a major highlight of the story.

I LOVED this one! It was so cute and charming. I adored Hathor and Wilhelm and all the side characters. Hathor is so saucy and witty! I also really liked that it felt like reading TV Bridgerton. I will definitely check out more books by this author. 

This was super entertaining, as the first two books were, but I was a little disappointed with the ending.

I was hoping it would cover Hathor having a public wedding with the Prince in front of the Ton who had spent so long talking shit.

It brought me joy to see Hathor finally get her story. I won't lie; I didn't always love Hathor. I thought she was annoying in Aphrodite and the Duke, but I grew to like her in Verity and the Forbidden Suitor; however, boy did she come into her own here.

She has a self-proclaimed rivalry with Aphrodite. It's one-sided, which Hathor can fully admit. I loved seeing her growth. You start to understand why she is the way she is, and it makes complete sense. What was interesting was getting to know the prince against the reputation of the prince. They both have preconceived notions about each other... most were given to them by a mutual party. It was nice to see that they weren't willing to live up to the reputations that were given to them, even if it was beneficial.

There were so many scenes in this book that I loved. I won't spoil it, but most of them revolve around Hathor standing up for herself. It was really nice to see her come into her own by standing up for herself. The banter between Hathor and Wilhelm was great, and seeing their friendship develop was nice.

I'm hoping that there is more to come in this series. I need a story for Clementina and a story for the rest of the DuBells. I would love a story for Mom and Dad! I just need this series to never end.
