Combine I series I’m loving with an author I avidly watch for and what do you get? A novel I simply couldn’t resist. Laurence returns with her readers to Alma, giving us a sneak peek at the lives of the royalty. She combines realistic, real life characters with situations that many of us would never live. I loved the combination of everyday with the foray into royalty, the romance combined with family. The plot itself was original and kept me hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed Laurence’s character development. These individuals were so lifelike, yet at the same time larger than life. The way that they grew as individuals throughout, combined with the choices that they made were things that were easy to relate to while also making them stand out. Their atypical responses to situations were at times comical, creating a bond between character and reader. Not only is this novel a fantastic addition to the Montoros series but it’s also a great idea in and of itself. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
