a great final book to the series!! i really liked seeing how all the pieces came together in this series. when i first started trial of the sun queen, i was not expecting all the plot twists that led us to this moment, but man it is definitely worth it. there are clues throughout the first three books that finally come to fruition. plus the flashbacks to the historic moments... everything makes sense now!!! definitely recommend this series as spicy low-fantasy series for you to enjoy. it’s nothing jaw-dropping but it is entertaining.

sadly, i just ... did not like this one as much as i wanted to. the writing jumped from place to place, confusing me in several important mome4 stars!
sadly, i just ... did not like this one as much as i wanted to. the writing jumped from place to place, confusing me in several important moments. and honestly? it just fell a little flat: the plot, character development, action, etc. i will say though... the SPICE, the TENSION, the BANTER???? nailed it! i was so into that lol. this book is both good and bad, and honestly i'd recommend for when you need a quick and nice little enemies to lovers spicy book.

this book is so quirky & fun!! it will have you laughing out loud i promise! if you like the princess bride, my lady jane, shrek, ella enc4.5 stars!!
this book is so quirky & fun!! it will have you laughing out loud i promise! if you like the princess bride, my lady jane, shrek, ella enchanted, you should absolutely read this book!! i could see this one becoming a movie & doing really well. it has so many moments that you're just like ??? but then you're laughing because it's so outlandish.
while this is not my usual type of book, i really enjoyed it. it had romance elements plus an epic quest while also being emotional at parts and of course hilarious! i loved how different and unique it was. if you can read this book without laughing....are you a robot?
this debut was so entertaining & had all the makings of a great romcom!! i thought Gabriella Gomez did a really great job tackling the idea 4.5 stars!
this debut was so entertaining & had all the makings of a great romcom!! i thought Gabriella Gomez did a really great job tackling the idea of two people falling in love with each other after starting a fling to get over their first loves (who they still love!) ... how do you trust their feelings? and what do you do when the people you’re trying to get over are still very much connected and in both of your lives? so much drama! so much laughter! but also so many sweet moments!!
i was laughing and swooning and for sure frustrated at times and cheering for our two main characters. theo is every booklovers’ dream man! the way he supports marcela and her love of reading and spoils her? i think we can all admit we want a man like that. no but for real theo loves marcela so well! and i absolutely adored watching them fall in love with one other. excited to see what Gabrielle does next!

elena seriously has a skill at making the most “normal/mundane” scenes HOT & packing tension into every single interaction !!!! i mean WOW4.5 stars!!!
elena seriously has a skill at making the most “normal/mundane” scenes HOT & packing tension into every single interaction !!!! i mean WOW! this book is funny, sweet and so entertaining. if you enjoyed the long game & fake dating, you’ll definitely enjoy this.
i really enjoyed this book! both josie & matthew are so outgoing and funny in the long game, i just knew they would be SO FUN together. i was giggling so much in this book!! but also we got some really sweet and serious moments. loved the whole premise — four previous fiancé’s, a fake fiancé & a PR scandal…what could go wrong?? i thought elena did a great job at keeping things entertaining while also bringing the two main characters together in an authentic way. also! she writes characters SO WELL! you love them. you relate to them. you maybe hate them too….
matthew: WHAT A MAN!!!! that's honestly all i have to say…. well… and the way he supports and cares for josie is actually incredible. the way he stands by her side and encourages her to go after what she wants! loooove it! josie: actually a sweetheart & she deserves the BIGGEST hug!! grandpa moe: I love him! he's hilarious, supportive & sweet! bobbi: I have a love-hate relationship with her. there were moments i wanted to fight her & moments i was genuinely impressed by her….

this was honestly so wholesome and cute!! perfect to read this summer during the olympics. i loved how different olivia and zeke are, but how they seemed just perfect together. it was also so fun reading about all these different countries and cultures coming together in one experience. i was giggling and smiling so big! definitely got a little attached to zeke and olivia. i honestly was tearing up with how PROUD i felt of zeke as he ran his final race. it was like i was a big sister watching him fight for his dreams.
note: not spicy, geared towards younger readers

this was a quick and easy read that was HOT and enjoyable. i liked the unique magic ves had, and i enjoyed the way her and ferran built their relationship. very entertaining. there were some parts that i was like this doesn't make a ton of sense or the plot could have been developed a little more, BUT it was a short book, so i understand why certain things couldn't be developed. definitely worth a read if you want a short spicy book with monsters & witches!

my jaw is on the floor right now. this book is exhilarating!!! & i can’t even form coherent thoughts because THE ENDING! so much drama, so many twists, so much tension!!!!!
i didn't know i needed a book about two con artist families until i read this book. as someone who really enjoys heists and spy-related books, this one was PERFECT. i loved the flashbacks to previous jobs & how hard phoebe is trying to be better... there were so many plot twists that were surprising. the characters are soooo well-developed. I LOVE ROCKY!!!!!! him and phoebe are perfection. i think kb ritchie captured the drama, distrust and wanting between phoebe and rocky perfectly. i had to sit with the ending of this book for quite awhile before i could pick up another book.... it's that good. if you enjoy books by sophie lark, read this!
speaking of can't wait for BOOK TWO!!!!!!!
