“Entertaining Royalty/ Commoner Romance. He's a dude that was burned years ago and reacts by pretty well sleeping with anything that moves. She's a figure skater with a troubled past. When they happen to see each other in the airport where they both happen to be going to the same hotel... y'all, this is a Harlequin Romance. You know how this goes. I for one loved the bickering of the first half of the book, though I do wish the antics in Vegas had been shown. Instead, at the halfway point we fly (almost literally, in story) right past the Vegas wedding and suddenly we're en route to the honeymoon. But here is where the sweeter side of the romance - and the steamier side - really kicks in and becomes arguably more in-line with what most Harlequin Romance readers expect. I love how both of our leads here make active choices to go against their nature - rather than it just happening, here Fuller actually has the characters' internal monologues *showing* it happening - for the preservation of their new marriage. In that, it becomes atypical - and yet totally in line with the genre and publisher. Could have done without the last bit of the epilogue, but otherwise truly a great story here. Very much recommended. Merged review: Entertaining Royalty/ Commoner Romance. He's a dude that was burned years ago and reacts by pretty well sleeping with anything that moves.

“2.5 /5 Stars ** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** This just wasn't the book for me. As most of HQ's books they are easy to read, and quick to get through. However, I really didn't care much for the characters or the romance. I just couldn't really connect to this book in any way. Also, I wasn't the biggest fan of the writing in this book. I will continue to give this author a try but as I said, this book just wasn't for me.”
