Who doesn't love a story about a princess and a commoner?
This story offers a sexy and suspenseful take on that trope, with a princess who is rough around the edges and can hold her own. Elle is spunky and strong, and meets her match in the stubbornness department in Dom. The two of them start pushing each other's buttons from basically the beginning of the book and it just ramps up from there.
There is a good amount of suspense and intrigue in this, and the story is not necessarily the most original or deep, but still a lot of fun to watch unfold. There are some sweet moments between Elle and her countrymen, and the world of Elskov, the small Nordic island country is well-described. The tone of this story was perfect for its setting.
The romance felt a bit disconnected from the InstaLust, but it didn't bother me. Especially since the drama is light between the characters and focused primarily on the political aspects. It was even during the craziest action scene that I was sold on the two characters being meant to be.
Overall, this gave exactly as promised - an entertaining and sexy story of a hunted princess and a militant Resistance fighter. It's Han Solo & Princess Leia, but without the spaceships and aliens and A WHOLE LOT HOTTER!
I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. This is no way influenced my review. My opinion is my own.

Fun little audio read. It was a nice story, a bit too insta lovey for my tastes (they know each other before the story begins but it’s a short read and we never really do get the sense they actually do), but nothing cringey, good smut, would recommend. The ending was a bit much but hey, who am I to judge? I enjoyed this book.
This was quite short, hence why I’m reading it to fill out my reading goal for the year. This book was ok. Probably 2.5 stars. There wasn’t as much character development as I usually expect.
OK, this was amazing and so much fun! I can't wait for the second one.
This was not very good. But perhaps that was obvious from the title/cover/description.
LOVED it! Cant wait for the next one! Avery Flynn is a master of sexy suspense!
