Blurb:
The convenient princess bride...

He inconveniently desires!

Six months ago, vivacious Princess Anastacia Montroy enthralled Aston Lane at her kingdom’s society ball. Now he needs a bride to secure his billion-dollar birthright, she’s the only wife he’ll accept! With chemistry this powerful, how could she refuse?

Ana does not want a husband. Certainly not one who knew her before the accident that scarred her and stole her self-esteem. Yet a royal wedding would silence the scandal of her first failed engagement... And alone aboard Aston superyacht, his on-paper proposal is written with red-hot passion!

My Review:

Here is an irresistible royal romance featuring a masquerade ball, a wonderful maze scene and a luxurious superyacht that Kali has spoiled you with!

I particularly enjoyed the chapters where Ana and Aston reunited at the masquerade ball, where they couldn’t resist their attraction as they flirted. When Aston first met Ana six months ago, he was enthralled by her personality, yet Ana he meets now has changed. Yup, not only has the accident in the past damaged her physically but also personally. But don’t worry, with his tender and considerate move, he’s going to crack Anastacia’s wall piece by piece and I loved every step of it!

Despite his low status and his parents’ pressure to marry, Aston will not choose any women but Ana, the only princess who has caught his attention. Meanwhile Ana, what choice did she have after what she had been through?

As their relationship deepens, their emotional rollercoaster brought me to the depths of their traumatic pasts and the weight of expectations that begin to unravel their true selves. Despite this, Kali really spoilt me with her vivid storytelling where the luxury of royal romance is provided.

Well, if you want to be pampered by a royal romance with a protective hero, an imperfect yet resilient heroine and its luxurious vivid setting, Kali will absolutely spoil you with this story. Thank you Kali for sending me this e-arc, which I voluntarily reviewed.
