What is this book about?
Dahlia has always known her life would end at the bottom of a hangman’s noose. But treason seems a small price to pay if it meant a chance to free her people from the iron grip of their tyrannical king. Dahlia can’t fail the rebellion now.
Dahlia’s time playing the role of obedient handmaiden to Odette, the king’s entitled daughter, comes to an end when Odette is sent to marry her betrothed, and Dahlia strikes without mercy. After a swift mutiny en route to Haven Harbor, she forces the king’s daughter to trade places with her and upon arrival, masquerades in her mistress’s place.
If she can ensure Haven Harbor’s loyalty to her rebellion, the king’s oppressive reign could end. But the princess’s fiancé, Korth, isn’t the man she expected, and her loyalties become torn as she begins to fall for him. Continuing the facade will force Dahlia to betray Korth, but to reveal the truth spells her own treasonous demise.
My review:
Oh my word! I absolutely loved this story. From the great characters and moral conflicts, to the suspense and romance, I was hooked from beginning to end. Even though Dahlia was not a standard heroine, I rooted for her to find happiness for herself and her country. Her interactions with the innocent and upright Korth made me laugh in delight. Their romance was sweet and swoony. This was my first story from this author and I’m adding her to my must read author list.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
So much, but the best was the romance.
What I didn’t like about this book:
Nothing
Would I recommend this book to others? Absolutely. Great characters, well explored moral conflicts, and sweet but swoony romance. This is the third book in the series and it can be read as a standalone.
