This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from the Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Aven for my copy of this book. As you might know, I am a HUGE fan of Aven and her writing style. This is the second book in the modern Royals series but it could be read as standalone.

This book follows Liz and Roman. Liz and Roman met briefly in A Royal Shade of Blue (book 1) but in this book we see them interact properly for the first time.

Liz is not in direct line for the throne and is the niece to the current King and Queen. Liz has fought hard to still be a working Royal because she wants to use per position to help young people as much as possible. She is very passionate about her causes and is very strong-willed.

Roman is a gardener at Cheltham House estate. Roman is gorgeous. He is smart, he is hardworking, he is super genuine as well. Roman is super easy to fall in love with. While he is a private man he is willing to put up with anything for Liz.

I have to mention Roman's cousin Darcy. He has stolen my heart and I pray that Aven will write him his own book.

Aven takes her research seriously and that comes across in the book. Aven researches not only all the Royal protocol but the locations and the language. As Liz is English, Aven made the decision to write the book in English over American English and as a fellow Brit, I was excited by this.

I said this in my review of the first book but I love love love the squad! I love that they are trying to modernise the royals and make themselves more relevant. I can't wait for Xander's story which I think is the next in this series!
