Thanks to social media, beauty mogul Astoria Richards fell into a multimillion-dollar business at the age of sixteen. Unfortunately, burnout threatens to snatch the rug straight from under her. With no personal life to speak of, and competitors nipping at her heels, she jumps at a unique proposition from a king. As long as Astoria keeps her heart out this arrangement, her bottom line would benefit from this weirdness … right?

Raphael Castille needs a wife. Tasked with taking over the throne until his twin brother gets stamped with a clean bill of health, he will be required to play his royal part. A simple one-year contractual obligation to make the people of Calor Dunas believe he was capable of leading their country turned into much, much more. The second he sets eyes on Astoria Richards, all the rules went straight out of the window. No one said love was a part of the deal, but if he stayed around the gorgeous, brown-skinned beauty for much longer, he’d have to find a way to add it to the contract.

4 out of 5

An interesting story, with a strong FMC leading the way. I loved Astoria – she’s a great character, smart, strong, independent. Raphael was interesting, and it was fun getting to know him. Quincy…he started off endearing but turned into a caricature, and I ended up not liking him as much (but that doesn’t really take away from the book). The story itself moves along (mostly) smoothly, and the descriptions paint a decent picture of each scene, like watching a TV show. Unfortunately, there were some jarring scene changes, and I had to back up to see if I missed something when those occurred. These and some others broke up the flow, and are why I marked this as four stars instead of five. I loved the characters, and following them on their journey as they slowly grow from contractual business partners of a sort to something more. Great contemporary royal romance if you’re looking for something new to add to your TBR list!

She lowered her voice to a whisper. “May I ask a question?”

“Of course,” he answered, bending his head toward her in the cutest conspiratorial manner. 

“What’s with the hair?” Astoria reached for the ends of his shorter jet-black strands. Still longer than the basic business style, he’d cut off his bad boy shoulder-length locks. 

“Do you like?” He beamed, forcing those high cheekbones to the ceiling, igniting a spark of mischief in his eyes. 

“It’s very, very royal, sir.”

“Good enough for a king?” His lowkey flirting produced a throb of wanton need to work its way into her womb. 

F**k, this man is sexy…  

“Ahem,” bossy clipboard chickee interrupted, knocking her out of the Rafael Castille bubble. 

While internally rounding up the rest of her horny senses, Astoria dropped her hand back to her side. 

Elana speared her with a glare. “We have over sixty different news outlets waiting in the courtyard for the Q and A session.” 

“Ready.” He gently nudged her toward the double doors Elana pulled open to enter the square. “Ladies first.” 

“No, your majesty.” Astoria held out her hand. After a beat, his large palm dwarfed hers. If he was shocked by the physical display of intimacy, he certainly didn’t show it.
