4 Hearts - BR with Adam!!

Again, consistent futuristic sci-fi with a historical vibe, I continue to enjoy the trope of the virginal young man and his efforts to stay so despite a deplorable rake who’s doing his darnedest to rectify the situation.

Here Dalton, the cousin of the Regelence princes who are prominent throughout this series, has sort of a reputation, one that he’s personally perpetuated due to some major unresolved issues with his dads. Though Dalton’s somewhat more respectable having served in the military, it’s hard to keep a good troublemaker down!

By the books Blaise, is a stiff upper lip diplomat in training. He’s had his whole life planned out for him, and that's just the way he likes it. However, when Dalton becomes his bodyguard, Blaise can’t help being bad right alongside him as they further uncover some unsavory things about the Intergalactic Navy who has its own sinister plan to rule the galaxy.

As always, the main mystery continues to flow through each installment, where small reveals are made towards exposing said tyrannical conspiracy. Though this wasn’t my favorite, Langley delivers on her theme of progressive high society and the men who love to break its rules.

This had a nice dose of punch-you-in-the-guts feels, with a good dash of sexy.

Overall, I really just enjoy this royal family and all the shenanigans they get into and try to get out of. I impatiently look forward to their next adventure!

Thank you to the author/publisher for a copy in exchange for a honest review

This one was so much better than book 1 to 3 in the series. It didn't had the sexist feeling that the earlier books had. In fact it was non-existent in this book.

Which made the story lovely. I'm glad I continued on. I almost didn't want to start but I already bought it so.. but it worked out fine.

Perfect for a lazy evening. ( )

So, as we all know, all the castles, all the high end townhouses in this universe come with AI butlers. So WHY and HOW do our MCs keep getting away with their highly improper shenanigans time after time after time?

The making out sessions were extremely distracting, and that's on top of the main storyline that didn't seem to know what to do with itself. It was all over the place, being pulled this way and that. Some of the threads led nowhere, the others twisted and ended up running in the different direction altogether.

Nothing significant ever happened in this book until the very end, just a lot of flailing about. Would have been better 100 pages shorter.

Not the best book in the series. ( )
