* MARKING AS SPOILERS AND DISCUSSING TROPES *
I saw you advertising your books online, so on a whim I bought this one.
It was perfect. Absolutely phenomenal. I'd go as far as saying it's one of my favourite reads of the year. I love the enemies to lovers trope. The story had such amazing angst in it. The characters were well developed and their growth together was brilliant.
I know it's only a short book but I fell so in love with the plot that I stayed up reading it well into the night, just so I could finish it! I'm really hoping you write more novellas like this one. Honestly 10/10 effort!
I know this is a standalone, but if you were to write a sequel, I'd be begging for it! I adore James and Elias so much and it would be good to see them growing even closer. Putting Elias through training. God, there's even a potential reclaiming the throne plot there. Not that our boy would ever want to. He probably wants to stay as far away from that rotten family as possible.
Anyway, much love to you Author! Definitely keep writing!

I would give this ten stars if I could. I couldn't put it down. The characters were so three dimensional. The whole thing was an emotional roller-coaster, and the love story progressed so beautifully. Amazing work.

This was such an intriguing story! Outlaws stealing and kidnapping unsuspecting elites, only to realize just who they have in their clutches.
Elias (Princess) is trying to flee in the dead of night only to be captured by Outlaws who have no idea what they've stumbled upon and Elias has no intention of telling them a thing.
For someone who everyone sees as weak he is surprisingly strong willed. He is willing to die just at the chance of being free. His stubbornness isn't annoying it's understandable.
I really only gave this a 4.5 because I wish there was some justice given to the people who deserved it. That being said it was a wonderfully written ending despite that.
Though this is an MM read it's very PG. And it is done so sweetly. I'm really glad I stumbled on this one 🖤 this is a great YA read for anyone who likes to read LGBTQ stories.
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 📚

What a read!! Once you start its so hard to stop and you know what the best thing is? Its that its short enough to finish in just a few hours. I really appricate how pg this book is for a mlm cuse they can be a bit to much at times but this book is perfect.
Something I really like is how the charactera are portrayed you get a clear picture of them and their personalities and they really bounce off each other in the best of ways. This book doesnt feel rushed but its also not to slow so you lose interest its really well balanced. Definetly a must read for anyone enjoying a gay romance.

This was such a fun little read! I loved the way James and Elias gradually evolved from being an outlaw and a captive to something where the lines blurred and things got a little more personal. It was an enjoyable slow burn and I definitely think there is a lot of potential for a sequel or prequel with these two! I look forward to checking out more from this author!

I REALLY enjoyed this. It was so unexpectedly sweet and warm considering the way it starts. I was worried I wouldn't like James at first, but he very quickly wiggled his way into my heart, as did "Princess". I enjoyed their dynamic, the story was just the right pace as well as very intriguing, and the ending was absolutely PERFECT.
