"Nya and Johan's swoony sexual tension evolves into a scorching exploration that recognizes Nya's relative inexperience while rendering the pair's matched desire, fulfillment, and power. A gifted writer at the top of her emotional, sexy, romantic, and inclusive game." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Cole explores sexual and gender identities, grief, self-respect, acceptance, and love in this faultless romance. She weaves family drama and emotional growth into a passion-filled story worthy of its irresistibly complicated (and diverse) characters. This affair of the heart is deeply satisfying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"delightful... This sexy, warmhearted romance is essential reading for fans of the series, though it also stands on its own." -- Library Journal (starred review)

"An impressive ending to a series featuring an international cast of complex, multicultural characters balancing their royal responsibilities with their modern lives and loves." -- Booklist (starred review)

"If you like faux engagements, ultra steamy scenes, and an eventual happily-ever-after, this one's for you." -- Oprahmag.com
