A charmant romance that is also an undercover self help book, too lengthy though
3 stars
I listened to the audio book while crafting and baking and thought it would be somewhere between a romcom and a tad of action movie. It is indeed a cute romance but also a bit of a self help book about a) boundary setting being important, which our protagonist learns b) giving/taking and communication in relationships, especially when one is emotionally scarred While I like this mix, also like the protagonist (which is rare) and the ending, I have to admit that the book is way too long.

And when you think „okay, it’s really enough now folks“… then there’s another repetition and a couple more of them. The audio book had 11 hours — they should either have added a lot more storyline or …

The audio book had 11 hours — they should either have added a lot more storyline or just shortened it to less than 4 hours.
As I didn’t expect this book to be anything but fluff I can let the part where royals are not really questioned but rather supported slide.
