I'm going to miss this world a little bit when I finish the series.

I loved this one, it was such a sweet story about Amberly and how she fell in love with Clarkson. I've always liked Amber's character and I felt like I got to know her even better through this companion novel. I never liked Clarkson in the series, but I have to say this companion novel offered a new perspective on things.
Even though I knew from the beginning how this story would end, it was still worth it, and (spoilers from book 3)it was nice knowing that you'd get a happy ending and not end up with a lot of dead people.

She seemed a little too needy and eager to please, she deals with his anger issues. Borderline abusive relationship. Did not support it at all.

Short novella set before The Selection. Enjoyed seeing some of the backstory to Queen Amberly.
