This is my favorite out of the three stories of Clara & Alexander. This book has so much character development and growth. Sure, there are a lot of steamy scenes, but Alexander and Clara have a relationship, not just sex. There's a plot line outside of just sex. There are things happening in each character's life that affects their relationships.

Though I will admit, the sex is absolutely spectacular. Incredibly hot scenes there and well-written without being too cliché. There are a few authors that I like their plot lines but their sex scenes are so full of cliches they drive me nuts. Not true with Geneva Lee’s books. The woman knows how to write a hot, steamy sex scene without using all those over done cliches.

The King is making no qualms about letting his opinion of their relationship be known. As far as he's concerned, Clara's just a tart that Alexander is screwing. The Royal Brat Pack (as Clara calls them) are being as mean as ever. And to top it off, all is not well in Clara's parents' marriage.

All of this, plus Clara's job and the threat of her ex-boyfriend is looming large between them, but through all of it, Alexander and Clara seem to grow stronger together instead of being torn apart. Alexander's never thought of himself as being capable of loving anyone, but after a traumatic event, he learns that he just can't fight it anymore and finally admits to himself and to Clara that he loves her.

Geneva Lee = TALENT!
You absolutely amazed me.
Both books have left me BREATHLESS!
Your characters are so real & alive.
Some editing prob's, but nothing that interfered with the story for me.

The bones of the story was really good but there was just so much sex in it.
I get that the Hero has some issues with sex, he's a playboy and he has had dark times in his past and that led to experimentation on his part and the heroine has issues due to her ex but it was pages and pages.
Their friend even comment on how much, making comment like them being at it like bunnies.
I just felt the issues could have been dealt with without so much of it and it could have even been a duet rather than a trilogy.
I liked the story set up.
I did wish the heroine put up more of a fight, it was a bit mills and boon, 'he touched her and she couldn't resist'.
She was strong in other areas.
In the series, there is ex drama, both sides.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine although he does explain at one point his darker side, which involved sex with a sub, but she asks, the woman is not named.
Lots of family drama.
Story extends over 3 books. ( )
