♥ A runaway bride-to-be
♥ A daring disguise
♥ A plethora of Royal palaces
♥ A close-knit, meddling family
♥ A captivating romance!
From Devon Royal with her mom, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal, comes her first novel featuring the Tudor origins of their beloved "outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing" Chase family!
As a ward of the king, Lady Alice Hawthorne was reared in Henry VIII's royal court, a world of riches, pageantry, and bloodthirsty political factions. Her upbringing has made her an expert in staying out of trouble...until she reaches marriageable age. Now an abominable betrothal throws her future into chaos and starts a chain of events that leaves her abandoned, out in the cold, and at the mercy of-well, the rather gallant and good-looking Adam Chase...
As a newly minted earl, Adam already staggers beneath the weight of his responsibilities, which include his own impending marriage, a failing estate, and the charge of four bickering younger sisters. But a gentleman cannot ignore a lady in distress (especially a pretty one), so when he crosses paths with Alice, he takes in the secretive stranger. Too bad her secrets connect her to a treasonous plot involving the princess Elizabeth, and now Adam's whole family will be implicated. At least getting thrown in prison will save him the trouble of being betrothed to one woman while he's falling for another...
A complete, standalone story-no cliffhangers!

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
