Forging metal into weapons and armor is one thing, but when desire burns out of control and the media spotlight gets too hot to bear, can a commoner turned duke and his posh apprentice find lasting love?
I adored this book – sitting in the parking lot because you don’t want to go inside and therefore have to wait five minutes to finish is what true love is all about!
Portia is a truly wonderful heroine, whose efforts to manage her mental health are as realistic as they are relatable. And Tav is my favorite kind of hero – hot, funny, and willing to own up when he fucked up.Alyssa Cole’s ability to thread the needle of escapist fantasies of royalty and riches while balancing real-world politics and morality is nearly as impressive as the visuals of Tav’s power grinder action.
Also, I haven’t read A Princess in Theory (yet – it’s downloading as I type this), and I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever reading this one, so if you weren’t sure but wanted to jump in here, go for it!
