Book Description: Kayden’s mission should have been simple — she was sent to kill the prince . . . not to fall in love with him.
Within the palace walls, Kayden has discovered that things are not as she expected. Is there more to the royal family, or . . . is there a more sinister depth to Drey’s mission?
Dvarius thought his mind was made up — but will he have the resolve to see it through?
Between attacks from outside the palace — and within, will the Prince live long enough to choose his Queen?
And will Kayden choose to follow her head . . . or her heart — knowing that her decision could very well make her a target as well!
My thoughts: Intrigue, romance....sigh. I love it when I am pulled into a story and enjoy every minute of it. Dvarius and Kayden are two characters that you hope will succeed and pull themselves out of the mess that others have made around them.
Kayden is an assassin who is assigned to kill Prince Dvarius. She didn't plan on falling in love with him and protecting him when faced with danger. In her defense, she was given some wrong information before she began the assignment. All of this is explained in the first book, A Reluctant Assassin. I enjoyed the first book, and would strongly suggest that you read it first. I would suggest that you just read it, because it was fun to read.
There are many questions in this book. The first is whether Kayden and Dvarius will be honest with each other. Most of the deception is on Kayden's side, but I don't know that Dvarius is an open book. He is sincere and tries to do his best. He has a strong faith in God, but lives in a time where it is looked down upon to be a believer.
The book is not the best writing, but it is full of wonderful plots. There are many things going on that it is easy to get lost in the story and want to know what will happen next. This is a series that I plan to continue to read.
The book has some violence and kissing. There is also a religious aspect, but I didn't find it preaching to me. Very enjoyable book to read.

It felt like an eternity before her eyelids began to
flutter — and even after that, it took longer for her
to open her eyes and start to look around. She
happened to look at Lady Catarine first and she gave a
somewhat tremulous smile.
Then she was looking around again and this time she
looked down to the end of the bed — where Sir
Malcom stood.
Although it was possible he had imagined it, Dvarius
was certain he saw fear in her eyes when she looked
at her uncle.
