*SPOILERS AHEAD*
I liked the premise of this book a lot. A Gatsby-themed new years party with our very own Daisy sounds fabulous! We often see a secret prince so having a secret princess swept up by the rich businessman was a pleasant surprise. Her kingdom seems interesting, and the polyamory aspect of their culture is a fascinating twist. I was pleased to see that while she wasn’t keen on polyamory for herself, she didn’t think poorly of it.
I will say that Walt seemed to think highly of her but also was kind of mean in his thoughts about her voice and other things which were confusing. I also wish that we saw more interaction before they left the party or dance of some kind. I love insta-love just as much as the next person but found this lacked connection or maybe interaction before flying away together. I am eager to hear more about her kingdom and many crazy cousins.

SO not what I thought it was going to be and while yes, overall, after I've had time to sit back and digest everything, the story itself isn't bad. The premise of a female writer writing what she doesn't know until shades of gray are removed to a world saturated with color, a wounded soldier (in more ways than one) finding love again (of both himself and another), friendships put to the test, and eventually, the chance for everyone in some fashion to show that despite the odds others stacked against them, they made their lives their own. Here's my catch or rather catches...

First, too much of a "good thing" can be too much....which is probably what landed that "erotic" add on to the genre it resides in because yeah, once they get started...they don't plan on stopping. Second, the language...I don't really care to read a character's inner (or outer, for that matter) monologue that is constantly foul mouthed. Last, and probably least...honestly, I didn't believe the connection between the lead characters, or at least how rapidly it happened. So while it wasn't my all time favorite, it doesn't mean it won't be yours!
