Short and sweet!! THIS, is how you introduce characters! I loved the story and Mackenzie and Adam, too. I wanted to keep reading! For a short story, there was so much packed into it and it keeps you pulled it from beginning to end. Answers a lot of questions and I loved having a look into the other characters minds/POVs as well. This can be read as a stand alone BUT, I highly recommend reading the entire series!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I swear this book reached right into my ribcage.

Priceless Princess is for the girls who crave stories about hidden identities, quiet devotion, and love that chooses you even when it’s dangerous to do so.

Mackenzie Crawford might be Denver’s golden heiress by day, but by night she’s just a girl with a voice that bleeds honesty in every note. And Adam Walker? He’s the wrong man in all the ways society says matter—and the only one who has ever seen her, not the mask she wears.

Their chemistry is electric, their connection undeniable, and when her stalker closes in, Adam doesn’t hesitate for a single heartbeat. The tension is delicious, the danger feels real, and the romance is the kind that wraps around your throat and whispers, you’re mine.

There’s a moment (you’ll know it when it hits) where Adam looks at her like she’s worth fighting the world for, and Mackenzie finally realizes she’s been hiding the parts of herself she thought were too much. He holds those pieces—her secrets, her fears, her fire—and never lets go.

This book says: you deserve love that chooses you in the dark and the light.
It’s tender. It’s fierce. It’s protective in a way that feels like being wanted instead of caged.

D.V. Cole delivers another punch of raw emotion and spice. Priceless Princess might be short, but it’s layered, intense, and impossible to forget. Seeing Mackenzie and Adam again after Inked Reminder made my heart ache in the best way. I would’ve loved a few more pages exploring the guilt she carried for seven years, but every line still hit perfectly.

And now I’m very intrigued about whoever has Declan so stressed—I can already tell the next book is going to wreck me (in the best way).

Thank you, D.V. Cole, for letting me be part of your ARC team. You’ve done it again. 💜

D.V. Cole⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I swear this book reached into my ribcage

Priceless Princess is for the girls who love:

- Hidden identity + double life
- Protective heroes who actually communicate
-“I’ll keep you safe even if it kills me”
- Devotion that’s terrifying in how quiet and deep it is

Mackenzie Crawford is an heiress with a voice that could break glass and hearts.
By daylight, she’s polished perfection.
By night, she’s a song poured out of aching ribs and a locked-down soul.

Adam?
He’s the wrong guy in every way that matters to society—
but the only man who’s ever looked at her and seen the person , not the princess .

And when her stalker gets closer—close enough to breathe down her spine—
Adam doesn’t hesitate.
Not once.
Not even a heartbeat.

The tension? Delicious.
The danger? Real.
The romance? The kind that wraps around your throat and whispers: you’re mine.

There’s this moment—(you’ll know when you get there)—
where Adam looks at her like she’s worth fighting the whole damn world for
and Mackenzie realizes she’s been hiding pieces of herself because she didn’t think anyone could hold them gently.

But he does.

He holds her secrets.
Her dreams.
Her fear.
Her fire.

And he never lets go.

This book says:

You deserve love that chooses you in the dark and the light.

It’s tender.
It’s fierce.
It’s protective in a way that feels like being wanted instead of caged.

Priceless Princess is romantic suspense with a heartbeat and a bruise.

And I will be thinking about Adam calling her his like it’s a prayer for weeks.

Priceless Princess by D.V. Cole is spicy, she does it again and delivers the raw emotions.

Read it.
Share it.
Fan yourself

**ARC REVIEW**

Priceless Princess by D.V. Cole is a fast-paced, captivating novella set seven years before Inked Reminder. It’s the perfect prequel, offering both familiar faces and intriguing new ones.

I absolutely loved getting the backstory of Adam and Mackenzie—their chemistry and connection felt so real. Adam’s protective nature, paired with Mackenzie’s hidden strength drew me completely into their story, and the dual POV allowed me to connect deeply with both characters.

D.V. Cole delivers a short but emotional read that resonates long after the final page. While it’s an excellent addition for fans of Inked Reminder eager to learn more about the characters’ beginnings, it also stands beautifully on its own.

Highly recommend this one to anyone who loves protective heroes, secret identities, and a touch of danger.

Thank you to D.V. Cole for the ARC — all opinions are my own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ // 🌶🌶

D.V. Cole never disappoints with her books. Priceless Princess was a great short read, especially if you've already gotten a chance to read Inked Reminder.

I would have loved to have seen the moment where Cade realizes Genevieve is gone and reaches out to this friends for help, but all is good. Priceless Princess wasn't necessarily about them, it focused on Adam and Mackenzie. But it would have been nice to see a little bit more Cade and Genevieve since their break up was a part of the story, and Mackenzie held big fillings of the situation for so long.

Either way, fantastic story, and I can't wait for Gloved Secrets and whatever else D.V. has in store for this series.

[Marizete · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this Book as an ARC read. I have to say D.V. Cole did not disappoint.

It was wonderful to read about Mackenzie and Adam’s story. If you’ve read Inked reminder you know they were a big part of Cade and Genevieve’s story.

This love story grew on me. Short but sweet. The desire for an oil heiress to be her own person and choose love over money was heartfelt. Adam’s love for her is one I would love to find.

I would’ve loved to see a little more of what happened during that time when Cade and Genevieve broke up since Mackenzie carried guilt for seven whole years.

I’m also interested and very intrigued to find out who is this woman that has Declan so stressed.

I’m looking forward to the next book by D.V. Cole

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your ARC team

I absolutely loved reading Adam and Mackenzie' story it added so much to Inked Reminder! Their chemistry and connection felt so real and is so sweet and inspiring. To love someone unconditionally no matter their standing in society, job or financial standing. Adam's protectiveness and Mackenzie's quiet strength paired so well. Both characters complement each other so beautifully.

This is a faster paced novella that is a standalone in itself but can also be used as a sort of prequel to D.V. Cole's other book Inked Reminder which is equally as amazing. You get more back story and what happened to Adam, Mackenzie, Cade and Genevieve if you read Priceless Princess before reading Inked Reminder. But you can read both as a standalone as well.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this novella
This was a great story about Adam and Mackenzie. If you haven't read Inked Reminder it has some crossover in there and absolutely recommend reading Cade's story (Inked Reminder). Mackenzie is tired of playing the perfect heiress and decies to do things she loves, including singer her songs at a gritty club. Adam, mechanic, can't help but listen to her every night. Finally, finally Mackenzie gets up the nerve to break the ice with Adam. Only he's not the only one that's been watching her. She's got someone after her, and its up to Adam and his friends to protect her.

***ARC Read***
Stars: 4.5
Spice: 1.5
Wholesomeness: 100/10

This short story is sweet and intriuguing, InKed Reminder made me very interested in Mackenzie and Adam’s journey. I wanted to dive into the deep of their relationship and D.V. Cole did not disappoint loved how easy it was to navigate the story and how their flirting tur into something more I was disappointed we didn't get to experience that crucial moment when Cade realizes Genevive is gone and seeks comfor on his people but all in all it loved the chemistry, how Mxkenzies need for belonging was portraid and specially Adams protectiveness.

D.V. Cole is my first ARC read author but I couldn't be happier I chose her, her stories have a way of reminding me how munch sometimes you just need an easy short love story to pick you back up.

This is a quick novella that takes place years before Inked Reminder. This story follows Mackenzie and Adam. If you’ve read Inked Reminder than you will recognize who these two are. I absolutely love how the author is writing and releasing these story’s. Everything is interconnected and little by little the puzzles to the story’s are fitting in. I can’t wait to start on Gloved Secrets!

[Cori · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a novella that takes place 7 years before the book Inked, by the same author.

In this book, we follow Mackenzie and Adam in a fast paced story surrounding their relationship and the double life that Mackenzie has been leading. One side of her life catches up to her, forcing Mack and Adam to come clean about some things that they hadn't yet shared with each other.

There's a lot of protective energy in this one - not only from Adam, but from his closest friends (which I loved) as well. Mackenzie is on a journey to be true to herself, and she may have finally found the way to do just that, while being supported by a found family of sorts.

[Andrea Sheppard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Priceless Princess by D.V. Cole was such a great addition to this series! I loved how it connected with Inked Reminder and filled in the background of Genevieve and Cade’s fallout — it made their story even deeper. Adam was such a sweetheart; the way he quietly looked out for Mackenzie, never pressured her, and waited patiently for her to take the lead was just adorable. The ending, especially when Adam finally got the recognition he deserved while her parents were trying to tear him down, was incredibly satisfying.

[De Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Now this is how you introduce characters and leave me desperate to know the rest of the story. I love Mac and Adam. They are so stinking cute together and it’s a relationship I truly get behind. I need more of them. And their friends. That’s how family should act. They have each other’s backs always. If you matter to one, you matter to all. Love it. And them. I highly recommend this and everything by D.V. Cole.

[Tasha Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book. I liked the spin on it after reading Cades story and learning more between Adam's. you learn what happend however I wish there was morn smutt haha. though the parent are horrid I wanna smack them myself! This series makes me want to get a bike but with he way people drive still no thank you. I love the way the words can make it a movie in your mind which is why I give it a 5 star rating.

[Crimson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this as an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book tells the tale of two characters that feature on other books of the series. While this short read isn't required for the other books to make sense, I love that D.V. Cole is making the effort to round out the literary universe she created.

This was 100% worth the read. This is a great series to pick up if you haven't yet.

[Kendra Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this little glimpse back into the story of Mackenzie and Adam. It helped bring a little more clarity into how things went awry with Cade and Genevieve in Inked Reminder, though either can be read as a standalone. This simply enhances the story, while making us fall in love with two other main characters. This universe is the definition of found family and that is one of my favorite tropes. Blood isn't everything and sometimes not even worth your mental wellbeing.

[Shannon Swann · Rating 5 out of 5]

*ARC REVIEW* After reading Inked Reminder, I was dying to learn about Adam and Mackenzie’s story. Where and how their love grew, their journey to each other. I enjoyed reading about how they connected to one another and how the other characters play a part in their story. A HUGE shout out to D.V. Cole for her fun, flirty and heart felt writing. Each story has been such an easy read and I’m enthralled in it that I devour them so fast!! Please don’t ever stop writing!! ❤️

[Kaylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so happy when I realized that we were going to get Adam and Mackenzie’s story after learning about them in Inked Reminder, and let me tell you this novella did not disappoint. It was short and sweet, beautifully written, I love that Adam calls her princess, and I absolutely loved the ending. Their story was everything I could have hoped for I absolutely loved it and I cannot wait to read more by D.V. Cole.

[Brittany Terry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this Novella and let me tell you I just couldn’t put it down! While this is a shorter story it doesn’t feel like that in the best way possible. D.V. Cole tells such beautiful stories with so much depth and details built into her characters even her shortest stories feel like full length books because of how successfully she builds her worlds and develops her characters. Truly loved this and couldn’t put it down!!

[Dylan S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh I loved it! What a cute short from what is turning into an awesome series! Adam and Mackenzie’s story was so sweet, and I loved the suspense! There were certain parts where my mouth dropped and I couldn’t turn the page fast enough! I am so excited to read on to Cade’s story and all of the other guys as well! This is a standalone, secret identity biker romance.. Definitely worth the read! Thank you for the opportunity to ARC read for this amazing book!

[Kristina T · Rating 5 out of 5]

This short story has an amazing plot full of angst from daily life tied in with dealing with big issues. A stalker situation resolved by a protective man makes for a worthwhile and engaging plot. I loved the interaction between everyone and the love that shines between Mackenzie and Adam throughout the whole thing.

[Bee Snyder · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars

Going back and getting to see Mackenzie and Adam and the situation that causes everything for Cade was just *chefs kiss*

I subtracted .5 stars because we don’t get to see the moment when they find out about Cade and Genevieve I feel like that would have been a highly charged emotional moment.. especially with how Mackenzie feels about it all.

I’m excited for more!!!

[Kaitlyn Lyon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a short and sweet novella that I loved! It sets up Inked Reminder perfectly so if you want a bit more background before you read that book then definitely read this book first! I do wish I got a bit more of Adam and Mackenzie’s relationship before the stalker situation but glad it set up Cade’s story a bit more. As always, thank you to D.V. Cole for the ARC copy!!

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I much enjoyed this novella more than the last! way more detail, the timeline flowed better and the switches in perspective were much cleaner as well. there were some parts where I wanted more in depth explanations of things happening, like more stalking scenarios other than the one day. maybe a run though of things that had happened previously. overall, it was an enjoyable read.

[Jo Ann Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

D.V. Cole delivers a brisk novella that does exactly what it sets out to do—fill in the blanks. "Priceless Princess" is a short, focused read that explores the backstory of two characters from the larger motorcycle club series: a woman concealing her true identity and the fiercely loyal man who'd protect her at any cost.

[Donna Heard · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have read a D.V. Cole book, you know she is a great writer. Her stories are engaging and interesting. You don't have to read them in any order. Priceless Princess is a story about secrets, love, and doing what is best for you. Adam would do anything for the woman he loves even if she is hiding a whole other life from him.

[Jackie Harding · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adam and Mac story was a great quick read. I loved how the guys are always there for each other to help the mc's out. I did love how it gave more detail into Cade and Gen too. I highly recommend reading all of DV books. They're so good.

I received this free book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review

Priceless Princess was such a beautiful fated romance! I loved watching their connection grow—it felt so natural and full of chemistry. The hero’s protective side completely melted me. Such a perfect short story!

[Susan Garziano · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great novella. I loved learning about Makenzie and Adam. I loved how Makenzie was able to find true love! This can be read as a stand alone but definitely reading the other books in the series helps. I love the way that D.V. Cole writes and you get both POVs. This was amazing

[Rebecca Doyle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a cute read I loved finding out how Adam and Mackenzie met and what led up to cades story. And like the other stories I have read by this author I could not put it down as soon as I started reading
