⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Partly, yes. I enjoyed Sarani and Rhystan together, but an overly convoluted plot watered it down for me.

Blurb

Princess Sarani is escaping her life of luxury in India to travel to England, with only a very tenuous connection to her mother’s family there. She stows away on the ship captained by Rhystan, the Duke of Embry, and also the man whose heart she broke years before.

My Thoughts

Wow, the chemistry between Rhystan and Sarani was super hot, the screen of my e-reader almost melted. Where are the smelling salts? Their attraction to each other turned out to be a lot stronger than any resentment they felt over the way they had parted all those years ago.

That was the best part of the story. Sarani had way too many enemies. It seemed like everybody and their dog were out to get her. They either wanted to kill her or force her into marriage. And all she really needed was a friend. This was all a bit too much.

Overall, it’s a fun, steamy read.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
